MATED TIMES FRIDAY, NOV. 2. Plant Closed On Striking Boat Employes NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2-JU 5 )Andrew J. Higpins scrapped 000 000 reconversion program today and sent 3,000 striking employes to look for jobs some place else.

Ends Abruptly Higgins, whose tiny pleasure boat manufacturing business mushroomed to a huge war-time industry, abruptly ended his peace-time manufacturing at his three plants yesterday. A fourth plant, employing nonunion workers on atom bomb work and the manufacture of airborne lifeboats, will continue to operate, Higgins said, but the other three valued at $10.000,000, will be closed down for good. The three main plants had already shifted to peacetime work and were manufe-turing pleasure boats, commercial craft, and patented building blocks. Leaders of the striking AFL metal trades council said they were stunned by the announcement Higgins" had threatened many times to close the plants," Norman de Lapouyade, of the council press committee, said, "but we never thought he'd actually close them. Higgins promised 500 "loyal workers" who continued on their jobs despite threats to them and their families by "goon squads that they would get 30 days pay while he tried to find them new job's.

The other 3,000, Higgins said, would have to get jobs on thir own. Fights Discouraging The shipbuilder, who had fought to have a clause inserted in a new contract which would exempt returning servicemen from closed shop provisions, said he was not going out of busines because of a labor-management dispute, but because of a jurisdictional fight between the AFL and the CIO. He gave as another reason for his dissatisfaction with the Wagner labor act "Under the pernicious Wagner act," Higgins said," an employer would be guilty of unfair labor practice were he to defend himself or clarify his position against ridiculous charges made by labor unions. Critizes Unions "We have long realized that these plants could not operate productively and competitively under onerous conditions imposed upon management with never ending quibbling by rivalous disputes and jurisdictional disputes," Higgins said.
