QAW-GM PARLEYS
NOW STALEMATED
NEGOTIATIONS In Adjourn
nent While Dewey Con-
{ers With Schwellenbach

DETROIT, March 7. -P-The
hitter General Motors strike that
s,s idled 175,O0O production work
srs and nearly 100 plants through
out the country dragged through
It's 1o7th day Thursday. with across
be.table negotiations in adjourn
ment, at least until Friday.
lanes F. Dewey, Federal labor
mediator, who for seven weeks
had sought to bring the corpora
tion and the CIO United Auto Work
esinto wage and contract agree
ment, was in Washington reporting
on the stalemate to Labor Secre-
tsry Lewis B. Schwellenbach. He
was expected to return to Detroit
tonight.
Awaits Reply
Meanwhile the Detroit city coun-
ell awaited a reply from the White
House on It's appeal to President
Truman to intervene In the stub
born labor-management battle.
In Washington it was said there
we're no indications that any I'M
mediate White House action was In
prospect.
Lost Wages
By union estimates the strlke to
date has cost General Motors en-
ployes $l20,s10, 900 in lost wages.
The management figured the wage
loss at $137, 174,0O basing its cal
culations on 1876 hour work week
against the unions 40-hour week.
In supplemental charges filed by
the union Thursday with the Ma
tional Labor Relations board the
UAW-CIO contended that the
workers idleness was due to "the
unfair labor practices committed
by the corporation" and asked that
the strikers be compensated for
their loss Of employment.
The union action follows the re-
cent rejection by the management
Of CAV proposal that the work
srs return to their jobs at an in
crease Of 18 IL cents an hour
while an arbiter decides other is
sues, including the union demand

CITY CONSIDERING
SUNSET PURCHASE
Nichols Says No Definite
Conclusions Reached On
Water Proposal

The City Of Wilmington's pro-
posal to purchase the Sunset COM
pany, which supplies water to
Sunset park, is ''still under con-
sideration," City Manager A. C.
Nichols revealed last night.
Nichols and w. F. Evans, Jr.,
head of the city's Water depart
ment, who have been studying the
proposal for some time, have not
reached "any definite conclu-
sions,'' Nichols said.
No Obligation
Nor is the city under any obliga
ton to purchase the company and
its facilities. According to a bull
letin received from Harry Nc
Mullan, attorney general of North
Carolina, there is no North Carolina
statute which requires munich
pality to purchase privately own
ed water system operating within
the city limits, but i would have
authority to do so if it were found
proper to make such purchase.
City Attorney W. B. Campbell
confirmed McMullan's statement
last night.
No Predictions
Nichols said he cannot make any
predictions as to when the negotia'
tons with the Sunset company
will be completed or as to whether
the city ever will make the pur
chase.
