KELLY'S record in the 10Th

support for most progressive

So incensed has his own party

made the following moves:
l. Appealed to President Truman
to intervene to avoid what he called
an inevitable" West Coast shipping
tieup.
2. Accused the Water Front En-
ployerS' Association of breaking off
negotiations in an effort to nullify
the wage-hour law.
The union is asking an hourly
wage increase of IS cents, from s1.15
to $l.50; S225 an hour for work in
excess of six hours and s3.3712 for
night work on Saturday, Sundays
and holidays and all night work

Ford Reported Near
Pay Agreement After
|UAW Cuts Demands
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 25.-While 5000
of its employees faced immediate
layoffs due to the steel strike, the
Ford Motor Co. went ahead today
in its effort to resolve 2-cent-an-
hour wage difference with the CIO
United Auto Workers.
Ford, first automobile producer to
attribute layoff directly to the
steel strike, announced 1t would send
the $4,000 home tonight and an ,ad-
ditional $4,000 a week later. A
complete shutdown" is threatened,
the company said.
The production curtailments, dis
closed as Ford and union officials
were reported nearing agreement on
wages, company security and other
issues, will have no effect on future
bargaining sessions, both parties
emphasized.
Important Developments Seen.
One report said important de-
velopments" would come from to-
days session. Informed of that
report, John S. Bugas. director OF
Ford industrial relations, said such
developments would depend on the
union"
The UAW-CIO slashed it's de-
mands on Ford from 80 per cent
to 1917 cents an hour-about 16
per cent-after the latter figure
was recommended by presidential
fact-flnding board to settle the
strike of 175,000 General Motors
workers.
The company has offered l71s
|cents-about 14.4 per cent.
General Motors, meanwhile, denied
it had failed to bargain in good faith
with the UAW-CIO, as charged by
the National Labor Relations Board,
and asked the board to dismiss its
complaint. A hearing on the charge
is slated to begin here Monday before
NLRB Member Gerard D. Reilly.
Lack of Good Faith Charged.
In its answer to the complaint, the
corporation claimed the union had
failed to bargain in good faith and
asked the board to specify 1.-The acts,
words and deeds" by which GIN
could have frustrated and avoided
bona fide bargaining"
The UAW-CIO has sought to
maintain procedure for collective
bargaining while ignoring and avoid
ing the substance and essentials of
collective bargaining" the company
stated.
The corporation contended it had
met the unions demands with coun-
terproposals, and cited its latest Of
fer of 131a cents an hour wage
increase as evidence.
Chrysler Corp. officials met with
union leaders until late last night,
but neither party commented on the
long discussions. Norman Matthews,
UAW-CIO national Chrysler direc-
tor, did confirm, however, that the
union had lowered its demands
against Chysler from the original 30
per cent to 1917 cents, or about
Ill per cent.
