Deeper Production
Cuts Threaten
Labor Dislocetion'
BY sILER FREEMAN

December production quotas
have been announced by the
OPM and, as feared, the cut is
much deeper than for the first
four months of the 1912 model
year. Unless the defense pc
ture changes materially before
the next quota meeting, curtail-
nent will be heavier and heavier.
The auto manufacturers have
not been taken by surprise, how
ever. Most Of ;he production
schedules have been set prevl-
ously in accordance with the an
nounced 80 per cent reduction
which price car Leon Hender-
son demanded from the begin
ming. They are merely revised
slightly to meet the quotas as
announced
AS auto curtailmcnt becomes
more and more realistic, how
ever the plants are faced with
the growing problem Of "diSloca-
ton of labor" The companies
want very much 10 ward of
unemployment. 10 keep the men
handy when automobile produc-
ton comes back into It's own.

Curb on Output
PeriIs Sales Outlets
Of Auto Industry

How can automobile dealers
survive now that manufacturers
can give them during the next
II months only half as many
1912 models as 1941 models?
This problem is worrying auto
makers. The whole gigantic in-
dustry is dependent upon sales.
Therefore, maintenance Of ade-
quate sales outlets are vital TO
its very existence.
Cut off one-half COR more) OF
the merchandise furnished dis
tributors. and a very serious
problem is created. AS the ex-
ecutive responsible for selling
the greatest number of cars in
America. William f. Holler,
general sales manager of Chew
rolet, expressed IL to me:

Ing been cast on q raft In mid
ocean, and I feel IL II up to us
to guide them safely to shore
no matter what storms and
stress may arise. We must not

sink them"

veys which show that its sales.
outlets in the field employ no.

automobile dealers which con-
Germs manufacturers. but the
fate of their statesmen. service
men and other employees.
I discovered that most COM
panies are hopeful that they can
handle the vital dealer problem
reasonably satisfactorily pro-
vided no additional cuts In pro-
duction are decreed. Chrysler

told they can make only As cars
