To Force Settlement

Possibility OF Federal intervention

at the Vultee aircraft plant 10 force
settlement was being studied
here today. as the outcome OF the
wage dispute there threatened TO
affect the whole national defense
program.
Upon the outcome OF the Vultee
dispute may depend future wage
scales not only throughout the air
craft industry. but in subcontractlng
and allied industries. in the opln-
ion of labor and defense officials
A victory for the United AutOmO-

which is directing the strike, might
force revision OF a bulk Of the
Nations defense contracts during
coming months and tremendously
increase the cost OF the arms pro-
gram.
There is a possibility that If the
dispute begins to show signs OF
reaching deadlock President
Roosevelt or other high Federal au-
thorlty may intervene in an effort
