"The final result. we feel. rep
resents a significant departure
from the historic pattern of

For the first time. a major cor
poration has devised a sound,

plements to State unemployment

The unprecedented Ford sup
Elemental unemployment benefit
plan was conceived and form
ulated by Ford staff executives to
supplement State unemployment
benefits, which also are paid for
by the company.
To finance the plan, the COM
pany will make contributions to

mately to $55 million. All bene-
fits would be paid from these
funds. 8
The cash benefit payments the

Workers Union and Ford Motor

ito supplement unemployment
compensation. The worker would
get so to IS per cent of regular

CIO President Walter Reuther
and Ford's chief negotiator. John
Is. Bugas, told reporters in De-
Itroit they were confident that
the State laws and administra-
tive rules can be altered to per-
mt Ford's wage guarantee plan
to take effect on schedule year
from now.
But to date only one State,
New York, has a court ruling
which permits joint payments
In other cases-mostly admins
Itrative findings rather than

In Washington, lawyers at the
Labor Department and other
agencies concerned were reluc-

may be a major issue between
labor and management. Private
Ily, some of them pointed out:

Ford GAW Pact
May Spur Bids
For New Laws
By the Associated Press

The Ford-style guaranteed
wage may bring a rush of labor
management appeals to State
Legislatures for revision Of the
rules governing unemployment
compensation-especially if il
spreads in industry.
In only a handful Of States
has the issue been raised, but
in most of these the laws have
been interpreted as forbidding
payment of Safe unemployment
compensation simultaneously
with guaranteed annual wage
CGAW) benefits.
That is because GAW pay
ments have been construed gen.
orally as wages paid by the en-
ployer, even when the worker
is idle. And when employees are
getting wages they usually don't
qualify for State unemployment
benefits. If the wages exceed
the amount payable under un-
employment compensation.

you can't give an answer" one
lofacial said.
/ Thrd-and probably most i'm
lportant: If big employers and
strong unions go jointly to .
State legislature and ask for q
Ichange in a law, the legislature
is likely to grant it.
But this obviously would not
solve the issue in States whose
legislatures meet biennially and
have no session scheduled before
next June /.
Some lawyers believe that de-
Icisions favorable to the GAW
plan might be achieved If a
strong showing we're made that
lGAW benefits are similar to sew
erance pay. A number Of States
have treated severance pay
ment as not being wages: they
therefore have permitted unem-
ployment compensation to be
pdlU simultaneously.
Trust Funds Suggested
Another possible escape" in
the laws, it has been suggested,
might be found in the creation
of an autonomous" trust fund
into which the employers GAW
contributions are paid. Then
payments to laid of workers out
of the Independently admins
tered fund might be construed
as not being wages paid by the
employer.
"This might be called a legal
| fiction. but some States regard it
as more than a flction." one law
yer said.
The basis for New York's treat
ment of GAW payments may be
illustrated by this fictitious ex-
ample:
/ Suppose States limit on un-
employment compensation was
$50 a week. Suppose a worker
was laid off who regularly earned
500 week Suppose, under an
annual wage plan, he was en-
titled to 5000 monthly in GAW
benefits.
! Then, under the New York
theory, the 5000 would be con-
sidered the workers pay for the
first two weeks of the month.
He would be considered unem-
Iployed for the rest of the month
and could collect his $50 weekly
! for that period.

iments outside the national con-
tract were blamed for stoppages
The St. Louis plant prepared to
resume operations after workers
voted to go back to work.
GIN Plants Closed
There were fiareups at Genera
Motors plants. too.
1 At st Louis some 5000 walked
of their jobs at Fisher Body and
Chevrolet plants, closing them
and posting pickets. No reason
was given by strikers for the pre-
deadline walkout. Local leaders
termed it unauthorized and said
attempts were being made to gel
workers back on the job.
At Cleveland 200 pickets
turned back 1000 at Chevrolet
division plant. That walkout
was reported to have started in
protest of the disciplinary sus-
pension of a worker. A Cleve-
land local vice president. Harry
Schwartz. said it was purely a
wildcat strike" and he added,
j"We are doing everything in our
power to have the workers re-
turn to their jobs"
Some 1000 employees of a
Fisher body plant at North Tar
Irytown N. Y. walked out and
a union official was quoted by
police as saying only that the
walkout was a wildcat" action
and that he didn't know what
caused it.
Ford Altered Plan
Ford's decision yesterday was
to go along with the guaranteed
wage. But instead of negotiating
on Mr.. Reuther's all-out plan
Ford proposed one of its own and
sold it to the union.
In doing this Ford accom-
plished two important objectives
1t succeeded in limiting COM
pany- financed supplemental job
less payments to a 26-week dura-
Ition, half a year compared with
iMr. Reuther's demand for full
annual wage guarantee.
1t managed to hold the aggre-
Igate of company and State job
less payments to go to 65 pei
cent of normal pay, instead OF
/ the full earnings guarantee Mr.
Reuther wanted.
Ford's strategic retreat and
holding firm on these two prin-
Iciples may have important sig
inificance as a pattern for ex-
pected guaranteed wage bar
gaining in the steel, electrical
and other mass production in
dustries. But Ford clearly has
broken the solid employer front
against the guaranteed wage
idea.
Reuther Cites Principle
Although we'll below his an
nounced objectives, Mr.. Reuther,
who also heads the CIO, gave
Evening star., 1955-06-07

Iment also provided 6 to 8 cents
annual wage boosts for Ford
workers, plus important pension
holiday, vacation, insurance and
other contract improvements.
Mr.. Reuther put a 20-cents-
Iper-hour price tag on the Ford
settlement. This is far ahead
Iof the 5 to 10 cents an hour
settlements which have been
normal lately and is sure to be-
come the new bargaining target
for labor unions generally across
the Nation.
The outlook, therefore, is for
bigger wage settlements and a
possible subsequent round OF
price increases.

new plan to safeguard worker
income during a workers IN
voluntary unemployment. But
President Henry G. Ritter III of
the National Association OF
Manufacturers said:
IF industry gives in to labor's
demands for a guaranteed an
nual wage, even in principle. 1t
could have seriously damaging
effects on the American econ
omy, perhaps leading to a So
cialistjc state and controlled
economy"
Question of Precedent
People were questionin g
whether the Ford plan estab-
fishes a dangerous precedent for
business to finance malingering
of employees when idled or sets
up a carefully limited system
for worker security that cannot
upset the free enterprise system.
Ford agreed to pay five cents
a work hour per employe during
the next three years toward a
$55 million fund to pay out un'
employment benefits to workers
of up to $25 a week, supple
menting their State unemploy-
ment compensation payments.
Faced with a strike and an
unsought role of leadership in
auto industry bargaining, Ford
decided it must accept the guar
anteed wage idea or take costly
strike in a period of booming
car sales.
$4,000 Stay Out
Despite the new agreement,
more than $4,000 Ford production
workers failed to report at four
plants today. Three Of them
were picketed and closed, but at
one the workers later voted to
return to their jobs.
Most Return to Work

ers as the new contract was
hammered out. Most returned
to assembly lines today.
Five thousand of those refus-
ing to report today were tool and
die makers at Ford's River Rouge
plant in suburban Detroit. The
remainder of the Rouge's 80, 900
day shift workers reported, but
Ford said the plant would have
to be closed in "a few days" If
tool and die makers did not re-
turn. Tool and die makers said
they were dissatisfied with an
Scent hourly raise they got in
the new contract and would hold
out for the 80 cents they orig
inally demanded.

each year, with 100 hours or 21a
weeks of pay. Formerly en-
tployes in this seniority classifi-

employees receive three weeks.
Cost-Of Living Program
The contract also provides for
Ia II per cent improvement in
the company's cost-of-living
program for employees. The
cost-of living allowance will go
up l cent an hour every time the
Icost-of Living index rises one

time-or in effect, triple wages
will be paid to employees who
must work on any of the holi-
