Abstract

General Motors Strikes Back

The article presents information on conflict between the labor and General Motors Corp. The Chevrolet workers of Toledo have come into the limelight again. Their first spectacular appearance on the national scene was made last spring, when for several weeks it appeared likely that they would accomplish by themselves what the automobile workers in the whole industry had failed to do, defeat the General Motors Corp. That they did not succeed at the time was no fault of their own, the responsibility rests on the shoulders of Francis J. Dillon, present appointive head of the A. F. of L. Auto International, whose coercive and disruptive tactics saved the automobile industrialists from the threat of a general strike and an organized industry.
