UAW-CIO Turns Down
100000 ChrysIer Settlement
Herman l. Wecke; Vice-Psesident and General Manager
of Cbysler Corporation Issued tonight THE following statement

For the employees of ChrySler Corporation for
everybody interested in the Company and for
the people who wish TO buy our cars and trucks
it is too bad that the UAW-CIO has chosen to
strike instead of accepting $l0,0O0,000 offer
of settlement The Union demanded $28 200, 0G0
1t broke off negotiations tonight after refusal
TO consider wage increase of six cents an hour
which the Company offered in order 10 keep its
employees and plants work in the face of the
greatest demand for our products since the end
of World War ii.
The Company had pointed out to the Union
representatives and TO the United States and State
Conciators that wage increases at this time would
benefit nobody; would only result in higher prices
and higher living costs; and that this had been
the effect of the two previous rounds of wage
increases since 1916.
The strike which has been called for Wcdnes-
day morning will benefit nobody. 1t will inhict
needless and heartleSS suffering on employees and
their families The Union has not complied with
the request of the State authorities to hold State
conducted strike vote among the employees. The
contract forbids strike
1T is difficult to escape the conclusion that it
is wages, it is the dollars and cents of the
situation, but rather issues entirely apart from
Chryser Corporation and its employees which
determine the Unions action ChrySler Corpora
ton apparently has been selected as the target of
the Unions third round inhationary wage cam
paign. The employees of Chrysler Corporation
are being called upon to make the sacrifice for the
Unions larger stakes in other companies and in
other industries.
The circumstances which led up to the Unions
walkout tonight from the negotiations began on
February d when the Union began its talks with
Chryser on 30 cents wage demand, pensions,
insurance, and other proposals. Under the contract
with ChrysIer, the Union was entitled to open the
question of wage rate adjustments only, and, viii
difficulty at the outset, the negotiations Of the lt

The Company has stated repeatedly that wage
increases would inevitably contribute TO another
rise in prices, another rise in living costs, and
consequently would not accomplish any lasting
increase in employees purchasing power The
Union, the other hand, resorted to misrepre-
sensations of facts and figures, to abuse of
personalities in the management, and refused to
take into account the every day experiences that
employees and people generally have had with
prices and living costs result of wage increases
since the end of the war.
