30 hour
strike ends
at Chrysler
DETROIT (UP!)--An assembly line re-
bellion that shut down a key Chrysler
Corp. plant for 30 hours ended yesterday
when police entered the plant and arrested
two militant leaders.
Baut dissident workers met shortly after-
wards. voted to strike and put a picket
line outside the main gates of the Mack
Avenue stamping plant, where 4,800 em-
ployes produce body parts for all Chrysler
models.
THE COMPANY summoned its first
shift of 2,625 workers to report to work
at 6:30 a.m. today. The effectiveness of
the dissidents' picket line will be tested
when the bulk of the work force ap-
procihes the gate.
The plant was the third hit by an un-
authorized work stoppage in three reeks.
United Auto Workers (UAW) local and
international officers joined Chrysler in
asking the workers to return to their jobs.
The UAW officially disassociated itself
from the picketing at the plant.
THE SHUTDOWN ended when police
arrested Clinton Smith and 'William Gil-
breth on charges of "assault with intent
to do great bodily harm less than mur-
der."
The charges were filed Tuesday after
Chrysler officials said the men attacked
two plant security men with metal pipes.
That incident touched off a sit-down by
about 200 militants that closed the plant.
Chrysler later instructed other workers not
to return to wtork until further notice.
POLICE AT FIRST hatudctuffed till dis-
sidenis inside the plant. Authorities later
said all but Gilbreth and Smith were re-
leased. The other dissidents then walked
out the plant's front gate and to UAW
Local 212 offices demanding that union
officials sanction a strike at the facility.
UAW Regional Director Ken Morris said
thQ vote to establish picket lines at the
plant did not reflect the feelings of all
members of Local 212 'because only
those very much involved attended the
mueeiing"
The workers originally said they, would
not leave until Chrysler met demands that
included amnesty for the militants, re-
hiring of Gilbreth and other men fired
earlier and improved plant conditions.
The unsafe conditions cited by employes
included extremely slippery grease puddles
in work areas and numerous rats through-
out the plant.

TWO CHRYSLER WORKERS walk alone through the company's huge Mack Ave. plant in Detroit Tuesday after they and
some 40 others took over part of the plant and shut down operations for nearly two full days. Police and security guards
removed the wildcat holdouts yesterday morning but the strikers vowed to picket the plant today.

Asst. City Attorney Mel Muskovitz, wha.
will argue the case for the city, pointed
out that if the court ttpholds Chrysler's
claim an "important precedent" would be
set.
SlIighter said he expected a challenge
to the city's anti-discrimination ordinance
"sooner. or later" and the Chrysler case
represents the first test.
