GM and CIO resume long suspended wage talks in Detroit
In Washington the House Rules Committee sent a far reaching strike control bill to the floor as Special Federal Conciliator James F. Dewey announced that General Motors and the CIO auto workers agreed to sit down and resume wage negotiations. The strike has kept 175,000 production workers idle for over ten weeks. R. J. Thomas, UAW president, appeared in a cordial mood but said nothing. Debate on the rules bill will begin tomorrow, with Senate action on fact finding possible by midweek. The administration reportedly offered about 4 dollars per ton wage rise for steelworkers, while U S Steel indicated a 15 cent rise.
