81 JAW Assessment
Levied in ChrysIer Strike
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 28.-A special
$1-a-week assessment was levied
on all working members of the
Go Auto Workers today
to help finance the costly Chrysler
pension strike.
Over the maximum II weeks,
the assessment could pour total
of nearly $10,oO0,000 into the
unions war chest.
1t will become effective as soon
as the strike has been in progres
two weeks. The strike now is in
its fourth day.
The assessment, levied under a
new provision in the unions con-
stitution, is expected to bring in
about $850,000 a week at the start.
That is based on a total member
ship of 100000. Canadian mem
berS will not be asked to pay.
If the strike continues for many
weeks, however, the revenue will
be cut down. Already about 80, 600
UAW members are out of work in
addition to the $4,000 who walked
out Wednesday. Other UAW mem
bers are idle because of scattered
other disputes around the country.

Macris formerly owned the

because he was led to believe that
the business was losing money. 1t
later developed that he was mis-
taken.
After learning that he had been
misied in the sale. he returned
to the shop last night. He held
