the Reuther offer "on or before
Friday, Nov. 23".
It is believed here that the
refusal of the company to meet
the unions deadline for reply
which expired today at 400 D.
m. fastened the decision of the
union to pull its members from
all GIN plants scattered through
out the country.
Union Counter-Move
Observers here expressed the
opinion that the Unions move
was the only thing that could be
done under the circumstances"
They expressed the opinion that
GIN was "bluffing" and would
surrender" before the workers
actually walked out of tht plants.
1t appeared that union Off
cials did not share the views of
those who held that the COM

going ahead with their strike
plans and preparing for all
