War Workers
Heed Pleas to
Work
Chrysler Men
Expected to be
Back Monday

Detroit. May 22-UP-S Striking
United Automobile workers (CIo)
today were expected to heed back
to-work pleas by government and
union officials, ending Detroit's
most serious wartime strike. Re
sumption OF full production at the
huge Chrysler tank arsenal was
anticipated by Monday.
Labor leaders reported some
progress in attempts to persuade
the strikers to end their unauthor-
lied walkout, which started Thurs
day and has tied up six plants OF
the Chrysler Corp.
Only four plants-Dodge Main,
Jefferson, Kercheval and DeSoto
Bomber-were affected directly by
the strike OF $4,000 workers. but
1000 other employees at the Dodge
truck and Lynch Road plants were
forced into idleness by the walk
out.
Strike End Near
Indications of an imminent end
of the strike followed regional
War Labor Board directive that
the men return to work at once
and an order for reinstatement of
a contract which the JAW claims
was broken OFF, by the company
two months ago.
Despite the WLB directive. the
union executive board at the Dodge
Main plant. focal point OF the
strike. said no action on the or
der would be taken until rank
and file meeting Of $4,000 members
on Sunday. II was indicated that
similar action would be taken at
other plants. -
Prospect Bright
The outlook for cessation OK the
strike appeared bright after WLB's
order for reinstatement OF the con-
tract, as this issue was believed
a major cause OF the walkout.
When the workers walked out two
days ago many claimed they were
fed up with the WLB for not
settling grievances over wage in
creases and inequalities.
Meantime, union officials were
believed TO have subordinated a
reported breach among top-rank-
ing leaders at least until the strike
was over. -
The dispute followed a state
ment by Leo LaMotte, director of
the Unions Chrysler division, that
the strike was "fomented by high
officials of the JAW because of
political reasons"
The remarks apparently were di-
rected at Walter p. Reuther, JAW
vice president and director OF the
unions General Motors division
who was accused by La Motto of
attempting to take over jurisdic-
ton. of JAW members in Chrysler
plants.
Reuther replied that La Notes
