Lumber Industry Wages Not To Be Upped This Year PORTLAND, May 13. UB No general wage increase in the turn ber industry this year. That was the agreement reach ed by employers and the CIO In ternatlonal Woodworkers of Am erica for the area from Belling ham to north of Eugene yester day. It is expected to set the pattern lor the industry. There may be minor pay ad justments. For one thing, the agreement set up a night shift differential of four cents an hour and overtime pay for holidays. For another, the Question of pay in certain wage classifications was reterred to companies and lo cal unions, lor settlement. Although it is expected to be only a lormamy, ttie agreement must be ratified by individual em ployers and local unions. Its ac ceptance was recommended by CIO negotiators and the Lumber men's Industrial Relations Com mittee. They had been in negotiation more than three months. When the meetings began, there was talk of a 17'A-cent demand by the union. A slack winter lum ber market apparently killed whatever chance there was of that. It left the base pay at S1.45 hourly in the industry. The agree ment will run to April 1, cover ing about 21,000 Western Ore gon and Washington workers. Continued neeotiatlons with the new agreement before them as a pattern were scheduled by the union and the Pine Indus trial Relations Committee at Kla math Falls today, and Willamette valley and Oregon Coast opera ators next wek.
