UAW members started working without a contract when pacts with General Mo tors, Ford and Chrysler ex pired May 29-June 1. There has been little trouble ex cept, at Chrysler, where the company has made big changes in the working hours of union committeemen and stewards. Chrysler, like the other companies during the no-contract period, has cut the num ber of hours which stewards could spend negotiating work er, grievances on company time. Chrysler said its re duction of the grievance ne gotiating time of stewards merely puts it sin line with other companies. Union Charges The UAW charged Chrys ler is trying to weaken the union. It also charged Chrys ler is taking advantage of the no-contract period to increase work loads. Tuesday, there was labor action on three fronts at Chrysler . plants. A wildcat walkout of abou,t 400 em ployees at Dodge truck as sembly, called in sympathy for 21 union stewards who were suspended by the com pany, shut down the truck plant, idling 1,400 to 1,800.

No date was set for the vote and the UAW interna tional emphasized any strike action should be held up until it can be effective. UAW Chrysler Local 7 held a mass meeting at the Chrys ler Division Jefferson ave. plant to get the workers to go along with the union's policy of staying on the job until the auto companies need production. Little Progress The UAW is holding daily contract negotiations with all three auto firms. But there is no inkling of rapid prog ress.

College officials said the buildings should all be fin ished in time for classes in the fall of 1959. OSC, Oregon's largest col lege, had an enrollment of 7676 this year, nearly 200 more than the previous high set right after World War II. hardly possible before July. By that time, the UAW's strike power should be grow ing, with model changeover work N only a month or so away. But some company sources point out . most auto plants will close down in late July, with plenty of 1958 cars on hand to last until 1959 mod els cdme out in the fall. These sources believe the union will have a hard time launching a successful strike by workers who have been laid off for four weeks or more. Before contracts expired the companies had offered two-year renewals of old con tracts, including at least 16 cents in hourly pay hikes. The union insisted a new contract must include better unem ployment benefits, pensions and job transfer protection. - Enrollment this fll should reach S400 and is xpected to pass the 9000 mirk next year.
