American Federation of Labor
Building Trades Worker! return
ed to work today on the army's
$4,000,000 Jefferson Barracks
Mo., expansion project, ending
week-old test strike against
employment of WPA labor,
At the same time, a strike of
AFL-United Auto Workers
whose dispute was being con
sidered by the defense mediation
board closed a Michigan de
fense plant, and a unique walk-
off of AFL-Electrical workers
threatened to delay completion
of part of the government's huge
Charlestown, Ind., ordnance
works. .
.- OPM to Inveitlg ate
The AFL Building Trades
Council voted to end the Jeffer
son barracks strike after receiv
ing assurance that the OPM
would investigate alleged en
croachment of the WPA in con
struction work. Hiring of 73
WPA painters at sub-union
wages precipitated the walk-out.
At Muskegon, Mich., the AFL
United Auto Workers struck the
plant of the Sealed Power Corp.,
which manufactures engine
parts for tanks, submarines and
trucks. The union is demanding
wage increases and a union shop
contract. Wages scales were not
disclosed.
A spokesman for the AFL
Electrical Workers union assert
ed the Charlestown walk -off was
neither a strike nor a dispute
and that 400 workers simply left
to seek Jobs at higher wages
elsewhere. At S1.31U an hour,
they were employed on instal
lation of the third smokeless
powder . production line. At
nearby defense operations, union
leaders claimed, the comparable
wage rate is $1.50 an hour.
No Pickets
The union said no pickets
would be established and any
union men whoawished to do so
could take Jobs on the ordnance
project. Army officers said the
sub-contractor would be respons
ible for seeing that the electrical
work is completed.
Meanwhile, James V. Bennett,
federal prison director, said
Leavenworth penitentiary in
Kansas was returning to normal
routine after the government
broke a convict strike there by
tending ringleaders to Alcatraz
and other federal prisons.
The prisoners, making shoes
and brushes for the army, re
portedly protested against their
working hours, which Justice de
partment officials said had re
cently been increased from 3D
to 44 hours a week.
