Employees Strike At Hudson Plant
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 7.—0>— The automobile industry's second major strike within two weeks tied up production today at the Hudson motor company plant.
The strike occurred in the department which produces bodies for Hudson automobiles. About 3,000 workers participated and presented a list of 12 demands to company officials.
With production of bodies stopped, an additional 3,000 men in the motor and chasis departments were forced to quit work.
Company officials charged the trouble was brought about by the “same Communist leaders” who engineered the Briggs company strike 13 days ago and forced all Ford automobile plants in the country to shut down at an estimated loss of about $1,000,000 a day.
The strike at the Briggs’ plant, which makes bodies for Ford, resulted in the company offering a new basic wage scale. Em-polyes went back to work last week and produced bodies enough so that Ford plants could resume operations on a curtailed basis.
Hudson officials said the strike came at a critical time as the company was increasing production schedules in an effort to fill new orders and planned to place a maximum of 8,500 men at work by Thursday.
The list of demands was presented by a committee of 20 workers. Wrhile officials were considering lt, the 3,000 employes walked out.

Police in Search For Abductors
By Unitsd Press
Search for the kidnapers of Mrs. Mary B. Skeele, 65-year-old college professor's wife, waa redoubled tonight when Pasadena police disclosed the attempted abduction of a former woman student of the dean.

Miss Smith's description of the kidnapers was given to detectives conducting the Skeele inquiry, which previously reached an impasse because of Mrs. Skeele’s inability to describe her assailants. Four men and a woman composed the group which kidnaped the elderly woman.
Mrs. Skeele, wife of Dean Walter Skeele of The University of Southern California Music college, was returned to her home 24 hours after she was spirited away by a telephone call.
