At special meetings Wednesday both the Village Board of Trustees and the Chamber of Commerce voted to have representatives attend the meeting between union men, management and the special mediator, who was expected to be here from Albuquerque. As late as 2 30 p. m. Thursday, he had not yet arrived, officials eaid. Bath Deming Tnistaes and members of the Chamber of Commerce expressed opinions that interest ia the firm is communitywide because it one of the few, if not the oniy, defense plant in the nation, which is community supported to the extent that land, buildings and money were put up by the Village or Deming resi- Essence of the Chambers resolution was a plea to both raannge-men and labor to reach an amicable and reasonable settlement; or to suspend any hearing until both labor and management can give the present woge scale a fair trial.

Dick Hodson, president of the company, said that the union, a It ca! of the Carpenters and Joiners Union of AFofL had taken a strike vote. He told Village officials that the minumum base wage at the plant was 80 cents per hour; but that a special bonus clause (based on employees working 3f hours a week at a minimum) would push hourly wages considerably er thac a mo mt. Hodson said he believed the matt-r could be settled but that any stoppage of work or delay in production would put the firm behind schedule. If we go into the red at the end of the contract, it means the end of the plant. And it means that it will kill any other defense industry from ever coming into Deming, he aaid.

He added that because of the labor difficulty, he and other officials of the firm have been tied up here while they should have been out trying to secure other contracts to keep the plant operation after the present shell contract expires.
