End Of Meat Strike Held
Possible As Workers Vote
Wage Demand Acceptance
By The Associated Press
The pouible end of the prolonged
meat itrlke end removal of a strike
threat at International Harvester
company planta were bright ipota
In the nation's Indtutrial strife to
day. Results of the vote by the strlk
Inr CIO paekinf house worker! on
whether to end their 67-dajr-old
trlke were expected to be an
nounced today at the unlon'a na
tional headquarter! In Chicago.
Herbert March, strike director,
predicted the vote to end the work
stoppage on company terms will
favor return to all plants except
Wilson and company. He predicted
a close vote for returning to work
at plants of three other major
packers Swift, Cudahy and Ar
mour. National Guard
As the votes were being tabulated,
national guardsmen continued to
patrol strikebound plants in Water
loo, la., and in Albert Lea, South
8k Paul and Newport, Minn., scenes
mf recent disorders.
The big Rath packing plant at
Waterloo, la closed for !4 hours
after rioting in which a CIO park
ing house nnion picket was killed,
reopened . for . limited . production
smder protection of nearly 1000 na
tional guardsmen.
The reopening went off calmly.
Last week state troops were sent
Into the violence-ridden packing
plants at South St Paul, Newport
and Albert Lea. The guardsmen
were called out In both Minnesota
' and Iowa after issuance of court
Injunctions banning mass picketing.
The estimated 100.000 striking
parking house workers voted last
night on acceptance of a nine-cent
hourly pay boost, retroactive to the
March 16 strike call: retention ol
all seniority rights and arbitration
with the companies on possible dis
charge of workers accused of un
lawful acts during the strike.
Wage Demand
The union struck in support of
demands for a wage hike of 39 rents
an hour, rejecting company offers
of nine cents. March said the union
recommended strikers to vote
against returning to Wilson plants
because the company proposed to
reserve the right to re-employ all
strikers and said It would not re
hire workers charged with unlawful
acts. About 8000 workers are nor
mally employed at the struck plants
operated by Wilson.
In Washington. Jonn L. Lewis was
asked by the soft coal operators to
resume contract negotiations which
broke down Wednesday. The I'nlled
Mine Workers president did not Im
mediately reply. The operators had
told Lewis it waa a "mistake" for
him to Insist on excluding southern
producers from the contract nego
tiations. The present one-year con
tract expires June 3.
Sim Agreement
Officials of the International Har
vester company and the CIO Farm
equipment union signed an agree
ment in Chicago to extend con
tracts to June 38. The working
agreements cover 40.000 employes
in 13 plants.
The union, under terms of the
Taft-Hartley art, had taken all pro
cedure necessary to call a strike.
In Peoria. HI., the CIO United
Auto Workers, elected bargaining
agent for the Caterpillar Tractor
company at a special runoff NLRB
election yesterday, planned to open
wage negotiations today.
