OSHAWA STRIKE ENDED
AGREEMENT SIGNED BY PARTIES TERMS NOT REVEALED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received April 23, 11.30 p.m.) TORONTO, April 23. An agreement to end the Oshawa strike was signed in the office of the Premier of Ontario (Mr M. F. Hepburn) by representatives of the company and the strikers, subject to the approval of the strikers. All parties declined to reveal the terms. The company representatives said the plant would be reopened on Monday if the strikers ratify the agreement. The strike at Oshawa involved 3700 workers. The claim for recognition of the union was refused by the General Motors Corporation, chiefly on the ground 'that it did not wish to prejudice its relations with the Ontario Government by acting in opposition to the declared policy of the Premier not to recognize any foreign union. The union concerned, the United Automobile Workers’ Union, is a body with membership in Canada and the United States, and it has recently become affiliated with the United States industrial body, Mr J. L. Lewis’s Committee for Industrial Organization.
