Talks Resume in GM Labor Dispute
Detroit February 25 UP General Motors and the Auto Workers resumed settlement talks with GM President C E Wilson absent for the fourth straight meeting. U A W president R J Thomas said moving conferences to Washington was possible if the President wants them there. Dewey mediators urged patience as the union warned against premature optimism while reporting only minor differences resolved. A tentative agreement covers membership and contract maintenance but wages, seniority, and vacation pay remain unsettled with a midnight Wednesday deadline looming for a 175000 production workers strike. The Ford Canada dispute and Packard negotiations also continue with wage demands above 18 44 cents per hour.
