Hopes Rise for Early
Peace in Chrysler
Labor Dispute
Basis of Agreement
At Hand, Federal
Mediator Indicates
By h* Associated Pr*»ss
DETROIT. Nov. 18. Optimistic—!
though siill wavering -signs of;
peace in the long-drawn Chrysler
labor fight indicated today a pos
sible earlv settlement. ^
Statements from both sides in the
stalemate which for 44 days has
blocked Chrysler's production of its
automobiles and kept 100.000 men
idle gave rise to hopes for an agree
ment soon.
Ask°d if Chrysler's plants might
resume operations Monday with
S8.000 employes returning to jobs.
President R. .1, Thomas of the C. I.
O.-United Automobile Workers said:
Thar's up to the corporation."
"Nothing is impossible,” said Her
man I,. Weckler, vice president in
charge of Chrysler operations.
While both men were obviously
cautious about, any predictions,
•lames F Dewey, Federal mediator,
had indicated a basis for agreement
was at hand.
"T expect to bear today proposals
from each side on all matters neces
sary to end this difficulty.” Mr.
Dewey said.
Negotiations over a new contract
between corporation and union were j
scheduled to resume today. Mr.
Dewev said "some tentative agree
ments'’ had been attained yesterday, j
An early settlement of the dispute,
which has caused idleness for
workers in allied industries as well
as for Chrysler employes, probably
would coincide with appeals for
State unemployment benefits.
