STRIKES IN U.S.A.
MOTOR-CAR INDUSTRY
THE PRESIDENT NEGOTIATES
United l'rest Association— Us electric TeJ»crapb—Copyright. (Received March 24, 2.45 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 23. President Roosevelt's negotiations with the automobile labour representatives and manufacturers were continued today after the strike call and were again postponed pending the outcome of deliberations. The unionists indicated that they, believed that the President would uphold their demands for recognition of the American Federation of Labour, while the employers are pictured as willing to grant some concessions, but it is not known if it will be sufficient to avert a strike. Meanwhile from Detroit came word that the major automobile builders, led by General Motors and Chrysler, intend to immediately reduce working hours to 36 weekly while maintaining wages based on a 40-hours week. This is interpreted as a renewal of allegiance to tho N.R.A. and an indication to the j public of,their fairness in dealing with, labour. '
