Plant Guards
Settle Strike
Thank Others
For Support

DETROIT (LPA) Plant
guards at the Briggs Manufac-
turing Co. settled a 15-day strike
last week so that 10000 auto
workers, idled because of the
dispute, could return to work.
The ITO members of the plant
guards union thought it was un-
fair to let so many workers take
a loss because of them any long
er. The $4,000 members of
United Auto Workers-CIO at
Briggs had refused to cross the
guards piket line and the re-
sulting parts shortage had led
to the layoff of $4,000 more at
P l y m ou h, Dodge, DeSoto,
Chrysler and Packard plants.
The Briggs guards got no
wage increase and no increase
in preparatory time"-the time
they have to get ready for work,
the two main issues in the strike.
They got a two-year contract
with a SC raise in the minimum
pay for guards.
Union president James c, Nc
Gahey said they had ended the
strike because so many work
ers, not directly concerned with
the strike, were being hurt by
it." He charged Briggs with re-
fusing to bargain in good faith
with the union.
