Chrysler Sitdown Strike Talks End With Plant Evacuation
Negotiations at the Michigan state capitol in Lansing brought Gov. Frank Murphy John L. Lewis and Walter P. Chrysler together to avert force in the Chrysler strike. The accord requires the eight Detroit plants to be evacuated and bars production during talks. About six thousand strikers had occupied the plants since March 8 defying court orders. The governor pressed law obedience, and Lewis conceded a partial victory for both the governor and the company which refused to recognize any single bargaining agent for all workers.
