| Jaw Contract
Offer Spurned
Byharvester

Detroit-Auto Workers negotia-
tions with the two holdouts in the
agricultural implement field - In
ternational Harvester and Allis-
Chalmers - were suspended until
after the Christmas-New Year
holidays.
At Harvester, where $1,000 JAW
members have been on strike since
Nov. IS, talks were broken off
when the company rejected un-
ion offer to sign a new contract
based on the 1866 pact plus those
items already agreed to in this
years protracted negotiations.
Although the JAW thus express
ed a willingness to withdraw a
whole list of still unresolved de-
mands, the company turned down
the proposal, insisting that two
company demands, the nature of
which were not made public, be
settled before new contract could
be negotiated. Talks will resume
Jan. 6.
At Allis Chalmers, a JAW
spokesman said the union might
file notice of contract termination
unless "some progress" is made
when negotiations resume Jan. 7.
The three-year pact expired Aug.
Is, but the pact has been extended
under an agreement providing for
termination on seven days notice
by either side.
Dodge Strike Settled
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-01-03

The JAW, meanwhile, settled an
18-day strike of 5000 production
workers at he Dodge assembly
plant here in protest over company
speed-up efforts. The walkout had
idled some $4,000 JAW members
at various Chrysler Corp. installa-
tons across the nation.
The union had sought a return
of hourly five-minute rest periods
which the company had eliminated.
Under the compromise agreement,
four such periods-instead of the
previous eight-were set up.
The JAW hailed the settlement
as representing "a more flexible
approach to production standard
problems" by Chrysler and both
sides expressed the hopes that it
would lead to prompt and amicable
settlement of future disputes in
volving rates Of production"
Despite the settlement, strike
at Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., an
important Chrysler supplier, con-
tinued to pose a threat to a return
to normal production. A company
spokesman indicated that its supply
of window glass would not last
long beyond the beginning of the
year.

small group claiming to represent
the will of the more than 800 mem
bers of the church.
The group led by Tom Armstrong
operator of the Parish Street
Newsstand, included William Lowe
Wilson Torrey, and Lewis Tucker,
filed a petition in the Chancery
Court calling for the removal of
Rev. West as pastor of the church,
asserting in the petition that a
meeting of the church had been
previously held which voted to dis
miss Rev. West as the pastor of
the church.
An answer to the petition by the
Armstrong led group was filed by
Rev. West and other officers of
the Church and a hearing on the
petition and answer was held be-
fore Judge Summers Wednesday
two weeks ago before a packed
court room.
After listening to the arguments
of both sides Judge Summers ruled
that an election be held, and that
if as a result of the election Rev.
West be retained as pastor of the
church, that Tom Armstrong and
his group be expelled and barred
from further membership.
