'CIO Strikers
Reject Ford
Company Offer
(By The As.oc;nted Press,

(By The Asx0c:nted Pressl
DETROIT, May 27.-CIO auto
mobile workers today announced
that they had rejected a proposal
made by the Ford Motor Com
pany to end their strike.
They did not disclose what the
nature of the proposal was, other
than that it had dealt with as
sembly line work. The workers
had called the strike because of
an alleged speed-up on the as
sembly lines, something that the
Ford Company has denied and,
furthermore, has expressed its
willingness to submit the matter
to experts in assembly line pro-
duction.
CIO officials, while not ex-
planning the Ford offer, said it
was SO complex it had been inn
possible for them to determine,
after conference of two. hours,
what would be the ALLEGATION of
labor ON the assembly lines under
der the provisions of the pro-
poSal.

APPRENTICE PLAN
GETS GOOD START
IN ALASKA CITIES

Baldwin P. Svenosen OF the US.
Department of Labor is pleased
with early progress in establish
ment OF an apprenticeship pro-
gram for the Territory. Svendsen
recently came from the Twin Cities
to get the program started.
He returned yesterday from An
chorage and Fair anks, where he
met with representatives of many
trades.
In Ancnorage, the Chamber OF
Commerce arranged a most sue
esssful meeting in the Bar Fly Club,
where Svendsen addressed a group
of about &c men and women.
In his audience were officials of
the Alaska Road Commission, the
Alaska Railroad, the Civil Aero
nautics Administration and the us.
Amy; business agents of all the
local unions, and representatives OF
all the service clubs, including five
women's organizations.
Svendsen received a request from
the railroad to help with its i'm
plant" apprentice program. A joint
apprenticeship committee for the
electrical industry in that area has
been formed.
Apprentice training is especially
successful as handled by the
plumbers and steam-fitters. Svend-
sen reports. Three men give their
services for the industry, teaching
two nights q week. In their classe'
are four boys and one journeyman,
who are now studying drawing and
blueprints. The local union has
spent $50 for drawing equipment.
Other outstanding groups in the
program are OF carpenters, painters
and sheet metal workers.
AS could be expected because Of
the size and the amount of con-
struction work there, according to
Svendsen, Anchorage has moved
M ON the program faster than
other Alaska cities. However, he
found that several groups in Fair
hanks have started similar work on
their own, and probably will be-
come part of the federal program.
In the apprenticeship plan de-
veloped by Bill Mclaughlin, bust
ness representative of the electrical
workers, semi-practlcal related
training classes are held at night.
Syendsen hopes to incorporate
these into the Labor Department
program, after conferences with
management and Chamber of Com
merce officials.
Svendsen plans to return to An
chorage later this month to help
set up tentative standards for var.-
Gus trades. He was gone nearly
three weeks Gin MS recent trip.
