PRESIDENT CALLED.
Mr. Roosevelt To Intervene In Detroit Strike.
Press Association—Copyright. Detroit, January 10.
The possibility that President Roosevelt will be asked to intervene in the automobile strike was forecast to-day when Governor Murphy boarded a train for Washington with the avowed intention of conferring with Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary ot Labour, who said she knew of no appointment with the President. Before his departure Mr Murphy issued a plea to both sides to remain calm and await further negotiations. No disorders arc reported from the strike zone, where troops are still on duty.
Mr Martin, after a brief meeting with General Motors officials to-day, announced that the conference with the employees would be suspended. He indicated that General Motors had refused to open negotiations because the workers still occupied the Fisher company’s plants.
