Goodyear Production
Halted al Akron in
Dispute Over Hours
py the Aksociated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
New labor trouble flared today In
Akron, Ohio, scene of several strikes
in recent months, while disputes
across the country kept about 270,-
600 men and women idle.
The dispute in Akron was at the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.. where
production was halted at its two
main plants as CIO workers refused
to pass picket lines in a dispute in
volving the rescheduling of 1000
maintenance and engineering en-
ployes from six to an eight hour
day.
A CIO-United Rubber Workers
spokesman said unauthorized
picketing began at the plants after
workers refused to return to an
eight-hour day as directed by the
company and an impartial arbiter.
Machines Shut OFF.
The company ordered machines
shut off during the two-hour Pc
RODS, and the union charged a
lockout" and said it would demand
production workers be paid for lay
offs. The number Of employed made
idle by the controversy was not i'm
mediately determined.
The executive boards of three la
Dor councils in the San Francisco
Bay area planned to meet today to
decide whether 10000 members
made idle by strike of 10000 AFL
and CIO machinists will continue
to observe picket lines. The strike.
IN its ninth day, started over de-
mands for 80 per cent wage in
creaSes.
The 6-week-old strike of go. 900
AFL lumber workers in the Pacific
Northwest appeared no nearer set
tlement. Indications were that any
CIO lumber workers acceptance of
the compromise 1914 cents hourly
pay increase would create a new
stalemate in negotiations between
the striking AFL union men and
operators,
Agents for $4,000 nonstriking CIO
workers voted to refer to the men,
bership the compromise offer which
an AFL committee had rejected from
the same operator group. The AFI
union is seeking a s1.10 minimum
hourly wage and about 1000 of its
workers have been granted the in
