Supervisors At Willow Run Act To Obtain Pay. For

There was however an oral under
standing at the Ford plants that
committeeman could go to the
office when foreman members had
grievance. At Willow Run the
company, which has been chiseling
on labor there ever since it started
operations, tried to intimidate the
committeeman and then locked
him for time spent on taking up
grievances.
When follow members staged a sit
down in protest Ford told them,
Either get back to work or go
home" The foremen took the com
pany at its word and went home.
JAW Bomber Local 50 instructed
its members not to scab on the fore
men but also not to pay attention to
picket lines, if any should be set I'D,
because of the Unions no-strike
pledge. No trouble resulted between
the two unions.

DETROIT - To stop a typical

also to get a dOcked union COM
mitteeman his wages, the FOremen's
Association of America (unaffili-
ated) staged an effective stoppage
at the Willow Run bomber plant
last week.
Whether it was actually strike or
whether it was reply to company
provocation was not quite clear but
at any rate it worked when only y
of the 1900 foremen in the plant
stayed at work, according to Pres.
Robert H. Keys. When production
dropped Ford began to soften up to
negotiate settlement.

On Court Record
Business Was Never Better,
He Says, Defending
Agency's Practices

WASHINGTON - OPA head
Chester BOwles this week cited his
agency's court record as the clear
est reply to Smith committee
charges that OPA has trampled on
the rights of citizens.
The record was included in a TO-
600 word statement Bowles filed with
the committees administration-bait-
ing chairman, Howard w. Smith Cd.
Va.).
In a report Nov. IS the committee,
which has blank check assignment
to investigate executive agencies, &C
cused OPA of issuing illegal, alb
surd, useless and conflicting" regula-
tions, using its powers to sentence
citizens of the United States to star
vation," and blocking legal redress in
the courts.
OF 1891 OPA price, rent and ra-
tioning cases decided through
Sept. 1913, Bowles disclosed, the
government won 943o. Defendants
prevailed i'm only POI cases.
To Smiths complaint that OPA
was working undue hardship on
businessmen, Bowles cited stats
tics showing business failures al
the lowest level in so years, cor
porate profits after all federal
taxes at 1900 of the 1869 aver
age, and a marked increase in pro.
fits and the proportion of sales 60
