Ford Contract May Lead Way To Labor Truce
By United Press
The contract settlement between Ford motors and the C.I.O. United Auto Workers was believed to point the way to possible peace in the nationwide steel and coal disputes.
The Ford settlement was within the framework set up by the presidential fact-finding board that investigated the steel dispute.
The agreement which provides $100-monthly pensions for 115,000 Ford workers goes into effect Oct. 1. It was expected to act as a possible lever to bring about a steel pact.
That, in turn, would aid in settling the coal strike since John L. Lewis has intimated that he wants to wait for a steel agreement before signing a United Mine Workers contract with operators.
Meanwhile, officials were taking action to prevent new violence in the coal fields of Alabama, Ohio, Utah. Pennsylvania. Illinois and Indiana.
In Virginia, Gov. William M. Tuck declared a state of emergency and threatened to use state employees to mine coal "to keep Virginia warm no matter what it costs." The United Mine Workers agreed to go back to work to keep state employees "from getting hurt digging coal."
The latest outbreak was near Jasper, Ala., where a picket line around a mine operated by six brothers was fired upon. None of the pickets was injured.
Authorities in western Pennsylvania appealed to Gov. James H Duff for additional state police to halt mine shootings.
At The Dalles, Ore., meanwhile, 50 state police joined local officers in an attempt to halt rioting in which six men were injured Wednesday when 250 C.I.O. longshore pickets crashed police lines as non-union townpeople unloaded a barge which brought pineapple from Hawaiian docks, which are one strike
The big steel producers began shutting down plants to prevent damage by a sudden "cool-off" when the workers quit, but spokesmen emphasized that they did not consider further negotiations as useless
The B. F. Goodrich company said that it had agreed with striking C.I.O. rubber workers but was still trying to iron out a "no-strike" clause to be inserted in the new contract.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will go to Fort Hays State College at Hays, Kas., to attend the inauguration ceremonies tonight for the new president of that school. They will return immediately following the inauguration.
At Jefferson City, Mo. Gov. Forrest Smith asked governors of 10 states to meet with the heads of four unions Oct. 6 in an attempt to get the Missouri-Pacific railroad back into operation. The railroad has been idied by a strike of engineers, trainmen, firemen and conductors in Illinois, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas.
