The union spokesmen said Ris ing's statements "are not worthy of reply" because "he is a huck ster who obviously is an ambar rassment to those he pretends to speak for." Although the union leaders de nied they wanted to strike to gain their demands, they said they were ready to do so "if nec essary." With returns in from almost a fourth of its locals, the union reported that Ford and GM wor kers are backing up their nego tiations committees by voting more than 94 per cent in favor of striking if necessary to win their demands. Strike Vote Taken The union ordered the strike votes taken to permit it to strike at any time after its contracts with the companies expire. But union officials emphasized the strike votes did not necessarily mean the union would follow a "no contract, no work" policy. Meanwhile, the union prepar ed to launch its third major an nual wage drive against Chrys ler Corp., the nation's third largest auto producer. The UAW's 125 - member Chrysler council met to discuss its objectives in negotiations with the firm and plan strategy for the talks. The Chrysler contract, cover ing 115,000 workers, expires on Aug. 31. Negotiations usually be gin about 60 days before the contract expires.
