Arbitration Offer Rejected by Ford May 24 1942
DETROIT May 24 42 The Ford Motor Co day rejected terms of a union proposal for arbitration of key issues in the 20 day old Ford strike. The company asked the union for further meetings to work out a satisfactory arbitration plan. Ford Vice President John S Bugas said officials were gratified that the union agreed to arbitrate but claimed the questions were not properly stated and asked to meet tomorrow to discuss implications. President Walter Reuther of the C S C United Auto Workers notified late last night that he rejected the proposal. The move aims toward a May strike solution involving allocation of manpower on disputed lines, with other issues to be settled by negotiation. A back to work movement would follow. Reuther called his reply a genuine proposal and offered no comment on Ford's reply.
