Maintenance Men
Back To Work:
Mediate Contract
Bus Service Suspended
For Nearly "a Hours

A strike of maintenance men at
Greyhound garages here which
halted suburban bus service for
nearly 24-hours was settled at 4
p. m. yesterday as union leaders
met with War Labor Board officials
to negotiate a new contract.
The 300 maintenance workers,
members of Local 656, UAW-CIO,
at Greyhound garages in Wyandotte;
Twelfth street, Detroit, and Birm-
ingham walked out Tuesday eve
ming in protest over failure to re-
new union contract which had
been pending for the past 18 months.
Greyhound officials have reported
that the contract was held up by
the War Labor Board for hearings
during this time and not by the
company.
Although bus drivers were not
striking, bus service was forced to
be suspended as the buses could not
operate without being serviced by
the maintenance workers.
Stranded workers were forced to
hitch-hike and taxi to their jobs
in the Downriver area and special
Navy buses were operated to carry
Navy personnel from Cadillac
Square in Detroit to the Crosse lie
Navy base.
Although individual members of
the union gave no reason for the
strike, picketS at the local terminal
as well as Detroit and Birmingham,
carried placards reading, NO con-
tract, No Work.
Company officials report that the
new contract now under WLB dis
cussion calls for premium pay for
afternoon and night work and wage
increases for maintenance workers.

PETITION TO pave Davis street

woke up too late to include their
street in this years paving project
says the council.
Twenty-third street between
Clark and Goddard will be
26 feet wide. It's too late to change
the width now. To 90 so would tie
up the entire paving project 80
days. Signers have agreed to with
draw their petition in favor of a

Contrary to accusations, this dept.
