GIN Strike Issues
Nearer Settlement
AFTER 94-Hour Talks
BY The Assoeiaied Press

DETROIT, Feb. 16.- Another
effort to settle the 88-dayAold
General Motors strike ended
short of complete agreement
after a nine and a half hour
session today, but James F.
Dewey, special Federal mediator,
Immediately called another con-
ference for Sunday in an at
tempt to work out the remaining
issues.
Mr.. Dewey said "one or two sec
tions" in the company's proposed
new contract with the CIO United
Auto Workers had to be put "in new
language"
The mediator, as well as c. E.
Wilson, GIN president, and r. J.
Thomas. UAW president, maintained
nearly complete silence on the prin-
|cipal issues still in dispute, refusing
to say whether wages was one of
these.
General Motors latest offer of a
pay increase of 1871 cents an hour
coupled with refusal to reinstate
the old contract, was turned down
by the union.
Contract Provisions Stressed.
In their rejection, however, union
officials stressed the lack of certain
+old-contract provisions as much as
they did the one-cent difference in
pay between the GIN offer and their
demand for a 1914 cent raise.
Among these provisions, all of
which the union said were ordered
by Government agencies, were
maintenance of membership and Sc
niority.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Thorn
as, according to Mr.. Dewey. agreed
to attend tomorrow's conference,
which Is. set for pm.
On Tuesday the National Labor
Relations Board will resume its
hearing of union charges that the
corporation has refused to bargain
in good faith.
Settlement Regarded Near.
The length of today's negotiations
the first conducted on a Satur-
day-heightened optimism that the
long and costly strike would be set
tied over the week end.
Mr.. Dewey reported considerable
progress" was made during the
talks, which continued until after
= pm.
Although UAW officials denied
they had receded from the union S
demand for 19h-cent increase,
the union was reported ready to
accept GINS offer of 1872 cents in
return for full restoration of the
l945 contract.
Mr.. Dewey began his efforts to
end the strike on January 20 at the
request of the Labor Department.
A total Of 175,oo0 GIN production
workers have been idle since No
yember 81 as a result of the strike.

Freedom for Soviet citizens to reside
and own property anywhere in the
territory; and 4. Creation of a Rus
sian garrisoned corridor across
Manchuria to the free port of

Analysts here regarded it as ex-
itremely probable that Russia had
demanded full economic co-opera-
ltion in Manchuria and that this
would take the form of joint control
of virtually all the regions economy
far beyond the treaty terms which
covered Dairen and Port Arthur and
joint operation of railways.
Military Corridor Asked.
On the other points, the same
sources expressed belief that Russia
/ probably had requested free navi-
CATION rights on the inland water
ways rather than outright control
and doubt that the Russians had
gone so far as to demand a mill
tary corridor to Dairen.
/ A Foreign Off1ce spokesman con-
oeded that the Russians were being
granted the same privileges of resi-
dence and property ownership in
Manchuria as other foreigners.
! Oficials also pointed out that the
Chinese-Russian treaty specifically
affirmed China's full sovereignty
/ over Manchuria with some special
! Soviet rights there.
The Chungking press raised some
! points of disagreement with. Russia.
: The World Daily News asserted
that no reply had yet been made to
a Chinese request prior to February
for information on Russian prep
arations for withdrawal, which had
been scheduled for that date after
several postponements designed to
give China more time to take con-
troll of that vast, sdisorderly territory.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Tension

bale Of cotton, or an increase Of
five Of each.
As they attempt 20 escape by
migrating from rural to ur-
ban centers, they find that the sys-

contrary to the rather generally
accepted bunk that II takes more
for white people to live than u
takes for eOlOred peOple--it ac-
tually cost cOlOred people more

cause Of the dual social system
In which we live. Further, they
discovered that II has been proved
on every soil that those who think
rule those who toll, and that In
order to do effective thinking and
meditation one must have leisure.
These people made another dis
covery too-that is, rapidly as pos

Editor: feel that some word of
compliment and praise should be
publicly voiced for the organiza-
tons and societies that participated
in and aided the organization of
the recent parade staged by the
Elks Lodge Sunday, July %, in st.
Paul.
1t is highly regrettable that the
st. Paul leadership of the Elks
Lodge and the Halle @. Brown
Community House do not have sim
liar endowments Of ability to fos-
ter marching club and drum and
bugle corps. In reality St. Paul has
a population advantage over any
thing Minneapolis has in that there
is a greater mass concentration Of
Negroes in the Capitol City than
the Mill City where there are set
Elements divided essentially into the
North and South sides of the latter
city.
l do not lend praise to the march
ing teams because of their high
stepping nor the blare of their
bugles nor the ruffle of the drums
but to a more intrinsic factor. II
people will unite and organize for
the flare and the ruffles" then,
with intelligent leadership, it is
possible to get political and eco
nomic unity that God knows we
need in stronger and greater doses
in both st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The parade was the manifestation
Of a type of unity that is possible
in the Twin Cities. Let us strive
TO keep what we have and make
to still more effective in even more
rewarding channels Of collective
activity.
