MOTOR INDUSTRY
DISPUTE IN AMERICA PENDING NEGOTIATIONS DIFFICULTIES FORESEEN By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received January 17, -".5 p.m.) DETROIT, Jan. 16 There is much rejoicing at Flint and other centres where the General Motors Corporation has plants because of the likely settlement of the motor strike and the preparations for disbanding the National Guard and the abandonment by the workers of the plants accompanied by the playing of brass, bands. Nevertheless, details of the conditions of- the truce indicate that inevitable difficulties will arise in the discussions on Monday.
The General Motors Corporation has insisted that the discussions should be limited to 15 days, fearing that possibly they might be drawn out to a six months' wrangle, thus bringing about stalemate in the industry. The workers withdrew their previous demand that their union be recognised as their sole bargaining representative, but Messrs. Lewis and Martin, union leaders, to-day stated that they will insist upon that recognition at the discussions. The corporation says it will never agree to the demand.
