WORK RESUMES
Unauthorized
Strike Ends Last Night
AKRON,
O.—Production at the General Tire and Rubber Company resumed last night with
the 10 p.m. shift, Eastern War Time (EWT). This ended the stoppage in
production of both military and civilian tires at that plant. The strike began
four days ago when workers walked off their jobs Wednesday, according to local
union president E.B. Harper, in protest of the firing of six workers by General
Tire. Harper characterized the strike as unauthorized and stated the executive
board of the union local informed the striking workers the dispute would be
pursued, but only if the workers returned to their jobs. The union workers are
members of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).
