Toledo, Ohio (ILNS)—Striking workers of the Chevrolet Motor Company's Toledo plant voted 732 to 385 to accept terms of the management and return to work. Voting followed a stormy meeting at which Francis J. Dillon, Detroit representative of the American Federation of Labor, was denied permission to speak. He favored acceptance of the proposed terms. Dillon left the hall with T. N. Taylor, Detroit American Federation of Labor representative, and later temporarily suspended the local union from the A. F. of L.

Members of the minority who voted against the strike settlement re-established picket lines at the factory.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—The decision of Toledo automobile workers to return to their jobs will go far toward relieving the threat of a general automobile strike by A. F. of L. President Green said. The A. F. of L., he said, stands "squarely behind" Francis J. Dillon, who urged the striking Chevrolet workers to accept the company's compromise terms.
