1000 Briggs Workers
Walk Out in Advance
.0f Strike DeadIine
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, June 9.-The Briggs
Manufacturing Co. today report
ed that members of the CIO
United Automobile Workers
walked out of the Connor plant
which produces bodies for Pack
ard motor cars.
The action, affecting more than
1000 workers, was confirmed by the
union which said pickets already
were patrolling the plant entrances
while meeting of union officials
was under way. There was no ex-
planation from the union.
A Briggs spokesman said two de-
partments were shut down, two days
ahead of the Wednesday strike
deadline which had been set by
Emil Macy, UAW regional director
when contract negotiation broke
up Saturday.
Appeals to JAW Officials.
Company vice president Walter O
Briggs jr.. attempted to head off the
strike, which would affect 10000
workers in six plants at Detroit ano
one at Evansville, Ind, by appealing
to top UAW oficials to intervene ir
the dispute.

Detroit had voted to conduct a
strike ballot. Contract negotiations
have been deadlocked following
union rejection of. 15-cent hourly
wage increase equivalent on grounds

ment plan. A 30-day strike notice
expires June "a.
A complete Briggs walkout would
halt assembly operations at Chrys-
Ter Corp. and Packard Motor Co
Plants, which depend on Briggs for
car bodies.
Mr.. Briggs appealed to interna-
tional UAW officials to interest
themselves" in the threatened strike
after Mr. Macy announced the men
would walk out unless wage and
other contract differences were
settled.
Says Appeal Won't Help.
Mr. Macy declared Mr. Briggs lis
not going to help matters any by
gong over my head" and said the
UAW International Executive Board
which meets in Chicago today, was
almost certain to grant request
that the strike be authorized.
Principal issues in dispute are re-

should be covered by the contract
and revisions of grievance procedure

And So To Bed

While digging around in their
records, the National Selected
Morticians have come up with
the very disturbing information
that it even costs more to die
nowadays than it used to. The
charge for funerals in the Unit
ed States in 1916 was 1878 on
the average, which is $42 more
than it cost the year before.
There are grave implications
to this. Although we can't think
of any way out Of It, maybe
someone should appeal to the
government. If the thing were
worked out right, they might
decide to keep some form Of
the OPA after the June 80
deadline they've set for its de-
mise.
Before, the OPA couldn't do
much about the cost of living.
Perhaps they may be able to
work something out on the cost
of dying. Otherwise, our "eco-
nomic minded" Republican
Congress may have to shell orr
that 375 bucks for the OPA'A
funeral .
