AIRCRAFT FACTORY CLOSED
DISPUTE OVER REST PERIODS (Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, Apl. 29. The Boeing aircraft plant at Vancouver, employing 7800 workers, closed down when the employees insisted on taking 10-minute rest periods. The company, in a statement, said it regretted that the employees’ action left no other choice, as the Federal authorities last week warned plants that they would be shut down immediately if the men insisted on taking rest periods. The union spokesman said the employees intended to take two 10-minute rest periods to each eight-hour shift.
