(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)

NEW YORK, April 6,
The Co-Director of the Office of Production Management, Mr. Knudsen, in an address, denounced labour stoppages. He said that major stoppages were purely for speeding up union organisation in particular plants.
Mr. Knudsen also said that it had been proved that the original vote on the strike issue in the Allis-Chalmers plant was fraudulent and that the strike was called without the consent of union members.
Mr. Knudsen recommended that strike votes should be taken under the supervision- of the Labour Department and that before a strike a
cooling-off period should be mandatory.
Summing up the progress in the rearmament programme, Mr. Knudsen said that of 784 defence factories 60 per cent, had been completed. Powder and T.N.T. plants were entering upon production on schedule and small arms were ahead of schedule. Army and navy construction was "better than half behind us."
