BIG STRIKE THREAT.
AMERICAN MOTOR INDUSTRY. WASHIXGTOX, January 4. While the strikers in the motor industry continued to defy the injunction to vacate occupied plants, 200 representa-1 tives of the International Union created 1 a Board of Strategy and authorised it] to call a general strike, in the 69 plants I of the General Motors Corporation in 14 States, if the company persists in ■ refusing to confer with the union on a national scale. This action was taken at a meeting where speeches criticising the corpora" tion were loudly cheered. There are indications in Washington that Miss Perkins, Minister of Labour, who already has conferred with Mr. John Lewis, union leader, will attempt to play the role of peacemaker in order to avert the threatened general strike.
