Strike At Dodge Plant
Continues; u. S. Defed

DETROIT, Feb. 28.-(P)-The
big Dodge main plant of Chrysler
Corporation remained closed for
the fourth consecutive day today
as 1880 striking production en-
ployes continued their defiance of
Government agencies and their
own international union.
In the latest move to end the
work stoppage that has halted
production of Superfortress engine
parts, anti-aircraft cannon, rock
cts and other material, the inter-
national executive board of the
United Automobile Workers (CIO)
summoned officers of Dodge local
3 to hearing to show cause why
disciplinary action should not be
taken against them.
The international union already
had denounced the strike as I'm
authorized and a violation of the
union constitution and its no-strike
pledge. The appearance of local
union officials before the inter-
national executive board mem
bers was ordered after the strik-
ers voted last night for the third
time against returning to tieir
jobs.
Meanwhile the effect of the
strike was being felt in additional

Chrysler plants. Production in
the Dodge truck plant was vir-
tually halted with 5000 men made
idle; 500 others ha. ieen sent
home for lack of parts in other
Detroit units, and shortly after
noon 500 employees of the Chl:,sler
corporation of Canada plant in
Windsor. Ont, were laid off. Com
pany officials said lack of mate

supplied by the Detroit Dodge
main plant forced the layoff

and said there had been violations
of the constitution of the parent
organization by local officers.
The strike began last Friday
following the dismissal of eight
men accused by the company of
failing to maintain agreed upon
rates of production. Spokesman
for the strikers replied that the
company had attempted arbitrari-
ly to speed up the production of
certain parts.
