ATTEMPT TO DOUBLECROSS PREMIER
Canadian Motor Strike (Received April 20, 12.30 a.m.) Toronto, April 19. The Premier of Ontario, Mr. Mitchell Hepburn, alleged that the president of the union at the strike in the General Motors Corporation of Canada plant at Oshawa, Mr. Millard had been invited to the strike conference only because an emissary pleaded that that would save his face with the strikers. Mr. Millard had repaid this kindness by attempting to double-cross him. Mr. Hepburn said the strike leaders were losing control of the strikers, who soon would accept Mr. Hepburn’s independent union plan. Leaders of the Committee for Industrial Organisation predict a slow-down strike in American General Motors' plants, followed by walk-outs, unless the corporation recognised the Canadian union before Tuesday. The president of the United Automobile Workers’ Union iu America, Mr. Homer Martin, is en route to Washington to confer with the chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organisation, Mr. John L. Lewis.
