week and work will be imme-
diately resumed, it was an
nounced on Tuesday of this

grin indicating that things were
looking up.
Willys To Resume
Not only will the Muncie
plant resume operations at once,

peacetime Jeeps who have been
laid off due to the Muncie strike
will be called back to resume
production within a short time
according to Director Gosser.

800 a. m. Dec. 18 when the
pickets were removed and main
tenance men came on the job
to prepare the plant for full
scale production.
Work For Others
The UAW head said that the
ending of the strike would not

Willys-Overland employees, but
that additional work would go
to both the Spicer Mfg. Co. and
the Electric Auto-Lite enabling
both plants to add additional
employees.
Director Gosser in concluding
his explanation of the end of the
strike and resumption of full
scale production said, ''this
should be good news for the
workers of Toledo who have
b e n unemployed as re-
suit of the Warner situation. It's
a good Christmas present for the
workers and I'm glad of it,.
Announcement of the exact
date for a resumption of work
