ENDING STRIKES
IN DEFENCE INDUSTRIES PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S I PLAN. GUARANTEES AND PLEDGE. NEW YORK, November 13. Congressional sources'report that President Roosevelt is considering a three-point plan to end strikes in defence industries, says the Washington correspondent of the “New York Times.” The plan provides, first, a guarantee of the current wage to workers in the defence industries; second, a guarantee of increases commensurate with the rises in living costs; third, a pledge by labour not to strike. The Conciliation Service today asked the Federation of Long Line Telephone Workers to postpone the strike called for tomorrow, pending further negotiations. If effective the strike would stifle communications throughout the nation. The president of the United Mine Workers of America, Mr John L. Lewis has called a meeting for tomorrow of the policy board of the United Mine Workers to discuss the position before he attends the conference between President Roosevelt and trade union leaders and officials of the steel companies on Friday. This concerns the strike of 53,000 Appalacian miners called for Saturday.
