Officials of Salem and Oregon
Wednesday from a national conference of teamsters m Chicago, 111.,
announced the 12 1-day -old dispute between teamsters and the Pacific
Fruit and Produce Co., had "developed into a national issue.
Ward Graham, secretary of the Salem teamster local 324, said
he returned with pledges of moral and financial support for local
teamster unions from other locals
throughout the nation
Dave Beck, executive vice pre
sident of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters, charged the
Pacific company with using Ore
gon "as a test battle-ground to
aestroy labor's historic five-day
week.
Graham said the Chicago meet
ings, held for the purposes of per
fecting the organizations of na
tionwide teamster trade divisions,
passed a strongly-worded resolu
tion condemning the Pacific com
pany and recommended a "final
conference" between labor and
management representatives.
Beck appointeda committee to
confer with high officials of . the
company in Minneapolis, MinnL,
soon, Graham said. If this con
ference fails, the Chicago resolu
tion urges the "entire resources of

In Salem the local plant of the
Pacific Fruit and Produce Co.
was struck nearly four months
ago. About half the strikers re
turned to their jobs, later and
were expelled from the union.
About 17 union members are still
out on strike. The strike was call
ed over the state when, during
contract negotiations, when the
company sought to eliminate a
clause calling for a five-day work
week, which the union had for the
past several years.
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics reported that a sample
survey showed five persons re
ported injured during the first
four months of 1948 for every

Damage Suit
Involves Sale
Of Timherland

$48,000 and charging alleged
breach of contract involving Call
fornia timber lands was filed here
Wednesday against Lee U. Eyerly,
Salem.
W, R. Thomas, Nevada City,
Calif., ; filed ' the suit in Marion
county circuit court. He alleges
that a contract was transferred to
him entitling him to purchase tim
ber on lands owned by Eyerly in
Sierra county. California.
Since the contract was original
ly signed in 1947, Thomas charges
in his complaint, Eyerly sold the
land to another party. The new
owners refused to admit Thomas
on the land to harvest about 11,-
000,000 feet of timber.
Because Eyerly sold the lands
and cannot honor the alleged tun
ber contract, Thomas demands $3,
000 on the lost timber and $49,000
on allegedly lost profits.
