UAW-CM BRACINC
FOR LONG BATTLE
Both Sides Await Prelimin.
ary Efforts To Medi-
tate Strike

DETROIT, Nov. 22-(P)- The
General Motors strike idling at its
outset nearly 100000 workers
waited today upon preliminary ef-
forts at mediation as the corpora
ton and the CLOS United Auto
Workers braced for a long battle.
While representative of Secre-
tary of Labor Schwellenbach
sought conferences with General
Motors and union officials, both
GIN and the UAW-CIO were re.
ported going over plans laid weeks
ago for use in event the strike is
prolonged.
The strike over the UAW-CIO's
30 per cent wage rate boost de-
mand began yesterday in 70-odd
plants of the big corporation, No.
producer of the automobile in
dustry. An industry authority said
the number of idle workers might
be doubled or trebled eventually
because of other companies de-
pendence on General Motors for
vital auto parts.
John W. Gibson, special assist
ant to Secretary Schwellenbach,
contacted General Motors and the
union for separate conferences. He
described his purpose here as a
'fee1er'' and planned to return
with a report to Washington tonight
or tomorrow.
Gibson's presence raised the
question of how far Washington
would go in any effort to bring
about settlement in this first
"all-out'' struggle between General
Motors and the UAW-CIO since the
sit-down strike of 1887 over union
recognition.
The acknowledgement Con-
ference in Washington has yet to
draw up strike settlement proce.
dure and no early guidance from
that quarter was expected.
President Truman has stated the
government peacetime labor posi-
ton as one of greater reliance On
voluntary bargaining between par
ties to a dispute. Though the gov
eminent would be willing to help
with its conciliators.
The GIN strike scene was quiet
on Thanksgiving Day today. There
was only 'token picketing" of
struck plants, with a few pickets
appearing for short intervals.
At the same time the union pre-
pared to get out its full forces to-
morrow. UAW-CIO headquarters in
Detroit was closed, but offices of
locals stayed open, laying plans
for feeding and equipping picket
battalions.
Vice President Walter P Reuth-
er was in telephone communica-
ton from his home with locals
throughout the country.
Strikers received promises of CO.
operation from ALL unions and
railway brotaerhoods, which said
they would refuse to go through
picket lines.
At Flint a brotherhood spokes-
man said one picket would be
enough to stop train from enter
ing a GIN plant. The AFL Building
Trades Council said 1000 trades

Home Owners
STAY Married

Home ownership is the real
answer to Americas divorce
problem, Judge John c. Lcwe,
of the Superior Court of Cook
County, H., concluded in a
study he completed of Chicago
and Cook County divorce rec
ords.
Judge Lewe's figures indicate
that a self-owned home is (to-
gether with children) the great
est single factor in making a
marriage contract one of life
long duration.
"As the most effective step
which America could take to
preserve our family institutions,
we should launch today a ire
mendous program leading to-
ward the construction of single
family dwellings for soldiers"
he said. Our boys must have
homes to which they can re-
turn. homes in which really to
start their married life after the
war"

Lumbermon Sees More
Building After July IS

This was the message brought
TO members of the Michigan Re
tail Lumber Dealers Association
by Harold r. Northrup. of
Washington, secretary-manager
of the National Retail Lumber
Dealers Association, at a meet
ing last week in Detroit.
Official reappralsal OF the
lumber situation, he said, indi-
Gates that lend lease require
ments for rehabilitation of dew
astated European countries may
be eased by lumber obtained
from France, Germany, the
scandinavian countries, an d
possibly Russia.
Military cutbacks also are ex-
pected TO make substantially
more lumber available for civil
ian construction, Northrup stat
ed. AS a result he was hopeful"
that by July Is certain con-
struction Jobs will be actlvated.
Northrup expressed concern
regarding the OPA policy re-
curing lumber dealers to con-
tinue TO absorb manufacturer
price increases. .
Lumber dealers, he said, had
been cooperating with OPA in
Protecting home owners against
higher costs, since the first price
increase.
However, he stated, further
price advances would create a
difficult situation for the lumber
dealers. An effort will be made
to hold to normal markupS in
spite of prices on the manufac-
turing level, he said.
Taking a firm stand against
socialized housing, Northrup de
plored the definite trend TO pub
lie housing to the detriment, of
private construction.
He characterized as a "fal-
lacy" the policy of using billions
of public funds Ito build a home
for everyone in the United
States who cannot afford 10 buy
home from private industry.
ITO the extent that we have
public housing, we will not have
as good housing he declared.
Hunter Gaines. secretary of
the Michigan Association, who
presided. announced the new
state officers: Russell Novels, of
Westover, of Bay City, vice
president, and Norman Cove, of
Lansing, treasurer.

Disabled CTS
May Get Course
In Estimating

A program 10 train a limited
number of qualified disabled
veterans to become construction
estimators is under consideration
by the Builders & Traders Ex-
change.
According TO E. j. Drummer,
secretary-m manager of the ex-
change, the industry needs some
additional estimators. and il is
hoped a plan can be evolved to
give disabled veterans actual
training in contractors offices
and at the same time enable
them to take a course of estimat-
ing in some institution of learn
ing.
SCOPE OF PLAN
Our original idea" said
Drummer, was 10 train the vet
Grams in our own estimating
school which we have operated
since 1896. We still may decide
to do it that way, but it looks
now as though it would be bet
ter 10 link our supervised indus
try training with some univers-
ity or school.
The maturity Of the plan is
expected TO encompass the diff
ferent trades, and, upon approx
al of the plan, the trainees would
be able to receive training bene-
fits as given in the CT Bill of
Rights.
While apprenticeship systems
have long been in existence for
teaching the building trades,
such as bricklayers, carpenters,
etc. plan never yet has been
worked out for apprenticeship
training in estimating which is
an important job in the construc-
ton >ldustry.
Since we have contacted our
members on this subject, we
find ], UGH interest The gamut
OF thought goes as far as incor-
porating a course in construction
engineering in some colleges or
universities.
Our purpose at this time does
not extend that far, but there
undoubtedly is place for such a
program. And it is not improb-
able that if a course in .estimat-
ing is incorporated m some
school that it might expand
Fact is, the construction indus
try's peculiar problems in esti'
mating, field superintendent
cost accounting, expediting, ETC.,
have been too much overlooked
in the past"
