The labor board at Washington Dec. 9 ordered the Ford Motor Co. to rehire the UAW-CIO men fired after the strike of April 1938 at the Long Beach, Calif. plant and give them back pay. The board held that Ford's refusal to negotiate on a layoff when the UAW-CIO was the lawful representative of the employes violated the Wagner act. Enough scabs will have to be laid off to make room for the strikers that were fired. If some of the strikers are still unemployed they will go on a preferential hiring list. If Ford appeals the decision as he has other labor board rulings against him, the cases may be consolidated as they await U. S. supreme court disposition.
