In defiance of the law, the places continued to operate without licenses and finally, in May, 1949, licenses were granted to new oper ators.

Later, however, police accused the old operators of still having a financial interest in the halls. After much wrangling, police refused the operators renewals of their licenses in September, 1949. THE DANCE HALLS went into Circuit Court, obtained a temporary injunctfon against the police and asked for a writ of mandamus to force issuance of licenses. Last December, Circuit Court dissolved the temporary Injunction and denied the petition for a writ of mandamus. The court, though, did grant a stay of proceedings until an appeal could be taken to the Supreme Court.

When appeal briefs were filed, the Supreme Court refused Thursday to grant a further stay of pro ceedings.

In his proposal, he also asked the company to pay the full cost of hospital-medical and insurance benefits to its employes. He asked $32.50 weekly payments for sickness and accident insurance.

(The company had offered to pay $28 instead of the current $25.) BOTH THE company and union agreed on one major point that the trust fund would be jointly administered but not "jointly controlled."

A COMPANY spokesman estl mated that only $15,000,000 of the money would be necessary to provide $100 monthly pensions to workers retiring during the five- year contract. The company otter said any money left in the fund after five years would still be used for pensions until the fund was exhausted. It was estimated by the company spokesman that the residue would last at least three years after the contract expired.

IN A PREFACE to its counter-demand, however, the union said the $30,000,000 would not be enough. Reuther and Norman Matthews, union Chrysler department director, issued a joint statement. They said the company proposal was "a step in the right direction" but that it "falls short" of the necessary amount. They estimated the company was offering five cents an hour to cover pension, medical-hospital and insurance benefits. "This is only one-half of the total cost being paid by Chrysler competitors for pension, hospital- medical and insurance benefits for their employes," the statement said.

REUTHER THEN tossed his counter-proposal on the bargain ing table. It said the union would accept the $30,000,000 if the company would add $16,020,000 to that sum during the next five years. The offer was a sharp reversal of Reuther's original demand for 10 cents an hour to be placed in a trust fund. It was the first time the union had backtracked since the start of the walkout.

"Mass education is a great American experiment," he said. "But there is grave danger that we are getting the shell instead of the kernel, for merely wishing to educate everybody does not make that education a fact." "Real students," he added, "must be served a genuine education of the same degree of difficulty and substance as was given by the old preparatory schools." He lashed out at persons who in sist that "no one should work very hard at his studies lest he warp his personality and that subjects such as grammar and. mathema tics, which they themselves didn't like very well, are quite useless."

Another issue, however, remained to be cleared up. In its offer, Chrysler said the trust fund would be hinged to Social Security.
