a 1.0. STEPS ASIDE
Acts to Facilitate Settle
ment of Labor Dispute
With G. M. C.
By the Associated Press.
TORONTO. April 22.—John L.
Lewis' C. I. O. moved to the sidelines
to facilitate negotiations today for a
quick settlement of the Oshawa, On
tario, General Motors strike—a peace
probably without C. I. O. recognition.
Harry J. Carmichael, general man
ager of General Motors of Canada,
Ltd., and J. H. Highfleld, manager of
the Oshawa plant, were to meet with
strike representatives who had relin
quished representation of the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization.
This yielding at the insistence of
Premier Mitchell Hepburn, who guided
today’s conference plans, indicated
that a settlement without outright
recognition of the C. I. O. affiliate,
United Automobile Workers of Amer
ica, but with wage and hour conces
sions by the company might be in the
offing.
Lewis Agents Absent.
The conferees were called to the
premier's Queen's Park office to start
their dealings at. 1 p.m. (Eastern
atandard time). Meanwhile, two Lewis
lieutenants, who formed the C. I. O.
leadership of the two-week-old strike
affecting 3,700 men and women, were
away from Canada.
Hugh Thompson, U. A W. A. or
ganizer, left Oshawa last night for
W’ashington, D. C., to join his chief,
Homer Martin, president of the union.
Hepburn, bitter In his opposition to
the Lewis labor movement, has termed
Martin and Thompson Lewis “hire
lings'* and twice caused collapse of
peace negotiations by refusing to per
mit C. I. O.’s influence, recently in
sisting that he be present at all con
ferences.
inompson said ne worn a return to
night to Oshawa with Martin, but the
union president sent Hepburn word
that neither would enter Canada until
negotiations were completed.
C. H. Millard, president of the
Oshawa local, and J. L. Cohen, counsel
for the union, agreed to appear at the
premier's conference as "representa
tives of the Oshawa workers"—not
representatives of C. I. O.
Strike Goes on Peacefully.
The Oshawa strike went Into its
fifteenth day as peacefully as it started.
Picket lines at the plant’s 20 gates
Were broken only when workers lined
up today at the pay window to collect
a week’s wages that was due when
the walkout came. The amount for
distribution totaled about $150,000, the
company estimated.

rowly missing a sleeping child. Tw'o
other homes were stoned.
The Shoe Workers’ Organizing
Committee, in addition to dispatching
telegrams to Secretary Perkins, asked
Gov. Barrows to order the National
Guard to protect strikers’ rights.
Hapgood. returning yesterday from
a Washington conference with John
Xi. Lewis, said at a mass meeting, “We
are going to continue the strike.”
Police laid down a tear gas barrage
yesterday as marked tension burst Into
an open flare-up when 1,000 strikers
sought to cross a bridge over the
Androscoggin River, which links the
two cities of Lewiston and Auburn.
Strikers flung stones as police followed
behind the gas. swinging night sticks.
While the Guardsmen at the bridge
head walked back and forth In a
drenching rain, and only a few curious
peered from doorways or braved the
downpour to appear on the streets, the
scene shifted temporarily to the Mu
nicipal Court, where the three leaders
and two strikers arrested with them
were arranged.
Judge Pulsifer told the five prisoners
that the time had come fop “a dis
continuance of leniency.”
He continued the hearing until April
29 and set bail of *2,000 each. This
was immediately protested by Ben
jamin J. Arena, Maine C. I. O.
counsel.
Arena declared the bail “excessive”
on the grounds that the alleged act
constituted a misdemeanor.
THOMPSON ARRIVES.
Canadian C. I. O. Organiser Is Here
to Confer With Martin.
By the Associated Press.
Hugh Thompson, United Automobile
Workers organizer, who has been di
recting the strike in General Motors
plant at Oshawa, Ontario, arrived here
today to confer with Homer Martin,
< union president.
Thompson did not immediately see
Martin, who was in a closed meeting
of the U. A. W. Executive Board.
In their session yesterday the board
approved a resolution affirming alle
giance to the Committee for Industrial
Organization.
Martin said the resolution could be
interpreted as meaning the automobile
workers’ union has "grown up.”
“We have reached the position
where we no longer need help from
the C. I. O., but can aid in its or
ganization campaigns in other In
dustries,” he said.
The automobile industry was one
of the mass production industries
which Lewis and his C. I. O. set out
to organize when they broke with the
American Federation of Labor. Aided
by C. I. O. leadership and financing,
the United Automobile Workers In a
year's time, leaders say, grew from
40,000 to 300,000 members.
Two Sessions Held.
The Executive Board held morning
and afternoon sessions, but aside from
announcing the adoption of the reso
lution, Martin would not disclose any
definite action taken. He said “or
ganization matters” were discussed.
Other board members said, however,
there had been no discussion of a
strike of General Motors workers in
this country in sympathy with strikers
at Oshawa, Ontario.
Martin said he had kept in touch
with the situation at Oshawa, where
3,700 General Motors’ workers are idle
because of a strike and was "hopeful”
a settlement would be reached soon.
Any ^ttlement, he said, would be an
nounced at Oshawa or Toronto.
Martin said he intended to go to
Oshawa to address the workers after
settlement of the strike.

BEER
Good appetite demands flavors that contrast
.. . yet harmonize. Whether it be an aristo
cratic broiled Pompano with a water-cress and
endive salad or deviled crab with coleslaw, en
joyment is made keener by the contrasting yet
harmonizing flavor of Senate Beer; because
Senate Beer flavor is as carefully and skill
fully planned and achieved as a banquet by a
