nv The Associated Press

The CLIO United Auto Workers
last night offered the Ford Motor
company plan to prevent Wild
cat strikes and then disclosed it
might be willing to scale down its
80 per cent wage increase demands
in return for other benefits from
Ford.
Richard T. Leonard, director Of
the Ford department Of the JAW
said the Ford company agreed to
begin negotiations tomorrow on the
union request for 80 per cent
wage rate increase but added it
would not be on an "or else" basis.
The union, he said, expected to
take up in the negotiations "a full
employment provision, which is
tantamount to an annual wage"
An annual wage, he added, may
be one consideration which would
cause the union to settle for less
than 30 per cent Other conditions,
he added, might be a pension, re-
tirement plan or increases in vaca-
ton pay.
In it's anti-wildcat strike propo-
sal, which Leonard predicted would
be accepted BOTH by the unions
rank and file and the Ford COM
pany, the JAW offered to accept
discharge by Ford Of any employee
found guilty Of "fomenting, insti-
eating or giving leadership" to an
unauthorized work stoppage.
The union further proposed to
impose financial penalties against
Ford workers participating in such
strikes, with an umpire determine
ing guilt of individuals involved.
The proposal was the unions an
swer to the company's demands for
company security and was offer
ed as substitute to the companys
original proposal to assess the
union S. striker for each day of
an unauthorized work stoppage. The
union rejected this.
In the three weeks old General
Motors strike that has made 213,00O

termination of it's contract with the
JAW.
Negotiations on a new contract
were recessed until today. The can
