WBto Study Demands
OF Auto Workers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board will con-
slider the wage demands of CIO
maintenance workers in Detroit
where a brief strike Wednesday
made $4,000 war workers idle and
threatened to close 300 plants en-
ploying a million persons.
The board yesterday agreed to sub
NIT the matter to the automotive
panel in Detroit for immediate con-
sideration" and report.
The agreement was hailed imme-
diately by Walter P. Reuther, vice
president and director of the skilled
trades department of the United Au-
tomobile Workers, as "a better solu-
ton than We ever had hoped for"
The board decided, by a vote of
to 3, with industry members dissent
ing, to combine all cases involving
maintenance workers wage disputes
including those at General Motors
Ford, Packard, Briggs and Budd
Wheel, for hearing.
Mr.. Reuther explained that the
major issue over which the work
stoppage was called was the widened
differenial in pay rates between the
UAW tool and die workers and the
maintenance workers.
