MOTOR PLANT STRIKE
FIRST MAJOR HOLD-UP OF KIND. UNION REPRESENTATION DEMAND. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. Montreal, April 23. More than 2000 employees in the Chevrolet Motor Company's plant at Toledo walked out on strike to-day following the collapse of negotiations with the General Motors Company’s executives. The interest of the entire car industry is focussed on the strike, which is the first major hold-up of its kind in the present era of labour conflict and is viewed as a possible test of strength between unions and employers. Though wages and conditions are in dispute, the real bone of contention is the demand of the union to 90 per cent, representation among Chevrolet employees.
