Change In Effect June 1.
OREGOX CITT. Or, April 1. (Spe
cial.) Although the management of
the companies have declined to divulge
the plans. It has been definitely learned
that the 'Willamette Pulp Ac Paper
Company and the Crown Columbia
Paper Company will adopt an eight
hour schedule for its .workmen about
June 1.
The decision to change the schedule
Is largely the result of the 10-hour a
day law passed at the last session of
the Legislature. It Is planned for the
mills to operate continuously, as now,
but the shift men will work only eight
hours a day Instead of 10 one week
and 14 the. next, as at present.
One of the pleasing features of the
proposed change Is the decision of the
management of the mills not to cut
the wages of the men to any great
extent. It Is estimated that the payroll
of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com
pany will be Increased at least $100,000
annually and at least "5 more men will
be employed. More than BOO men will
be affected by the change of schedule
In this mill. The payroll of the Crown
Columbia Paper Company also will be
largely Increased and at least 30 more
men will be employed.
In one or two departments of the
mills, which may be closed for four
hours, the men will work 10 hours.
