Arbiters Push
By Monday

Final details of the Ford strike
settlement will be worked out
within a few hours, mediators con-
fidently predicted today as they
returned to the StatIer Hotel in a
determined effort to reopen the
plant Monday.
All major points in the peace
treaty have been agreed upon.
The final terms are in writing.
Gov. Murray d. Van Wagner,
umpiring the negotiations, revealed
that the Ford Motor Company and
the UAW-CIO are separated by an
issue so narrow it is hardly per-
ceptible in relation to the basic
problems involved in the struggle.
FINAL QUESTION
This final question is whether
the National Labor Relations Beard
shall proceed to hear union conn
plants against-the company next
Monday, or whether the hearings
shall be postponed until after the
forthcoming plant election.
In accepting the peace proposal
drafted by the governor late yes
terday, the Ford Company insisted
that the scheduled NLRB hearings
should be delayed.
Van Wagner held officials of
the JAW in his hotel suite until
3 10 a. m. today. arguing that they
should agree TO the companys re-
quest.
The union leaders did not refuse.
/ But because of unexpected last
minute developments, which tens
porarily upset the truce at the
very moment when it appeared the
strike had ended. the CIO negoti-
ators hesitated to grant the con-
cession.
GOVERNORS STATEMENT
When ne finally surrendered for

tive made the following formal

obtaining the answer to the one
remaining point necessary to q
settlement of the Ford strike.

along with no thought of helping God
right the wrongs that are causing so
much distress? Shall we receive His
