MORRIS MOTORS TIME WORKERS' PROTEST
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
OXFORD, JUNE 24

A spokesman for Morris Motors workers today described 'as "nonsense" a statement made by the management that the complete labour force walked out yesterday "in protest at the amount of time lost recently through strikes at other factories."

The time workers believe that they should not be sent home because they, unlike piecerate workers, cannot make up their earnings.
Today the 300 Pressed Steel Company workers who were sent home yesterday were back at work, as were the 4,500 Morris Motors men who were sent home later when the flow of bodies from the Pressed Steel factory stopped.
