Army May Divert
SKiDDina Business
Portland, Sept 9 IP An army
spokesman said today a large
amount of army shipping busi
ness may be diverted from Port
land to Tacoma, Wash., because
of refusal of striking CIO long
shoremen to handle military ves
sels. Dock workers at Tacoma are
affiliated with the American Fed
. eration of Labor anld are not on
strike. Tacoma is open to any
ships with east coast non-striking
crews, and to all foreign vessels.
The army, if . necessary, will
send SRips with east coast crews
to Tacoma to load wheat and
ihosphate. ' Seven ships will be
n Portalnd within the next two
days to await wheat cargoes. All.
were destined for Japan,
v Even before the strike started,
ships were behind on wheat ship
ments. Grain arrived in such
large quantities from the wheat
producing areas of the northwest
that ' most terminal elevators
were filled to overflowing.

We Don't Want It
That, of cpurt9, is only natural. Consumer, military, agricultural
and industrial need for oil, gasoline and other petroleum prod
ucts is higher than it has ever been. We want to meet our public
responsibility by keeping production at highest possible levels.
The Public Doesn't Want It .
Many people up and down the Coast are already feeling the
effects of a shortage of gasoline . . . more will feel it soon
The Oil Strike Can Be Settled Quickly And Fairly
Through the years, the industry has en
joyed excellent labor relations. Workers
have thus benefited from good wages,
job stability and other advantages. The
public has benefitted from reasonable
prices for our products . . . constant im
provement in quality . . . and steadily in
creased production.
Now, for the first time in history
any place in the country , . , there is a
. widespread oil strike.
Why a Strike New?
Recognizing that there has been a cost
of living increase in recent months, the
industry offered the OWIU-CIO an in
crease of 12 cents an hour a full dol
lar a day retroactive to July 3.
Our Offer More Than Meets the Cost
of Living increase

equivalent to the increases accepted by
the same oil .workers' union in other parts
of the country.
The offer more than makes up for in
creased living costs. According to the
latest government figures, the cost of
living is up 72 since 1941. The wage
schedule offered is 83 above 1941
rates.

in the public interest to keep refineries running.
Many of Our Employees Don't

They've told us so. And few families can be happy at a loss in
wages which will total hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.

Canoe Trip Down
Coast Thwarted
Seattle, Sept. 9 UP) A project
ed 1,000-mile trip down the Paci
fic coast in a 14-foot canoe by a
Chicago logger yesterday had
been thwarted by the coast guard.
Coast guard headquarters here
reported one of their crews pick
ed up Owen Douglas Young, 49,
Chicago, 10 miles at sea off the
Washington coast yesterday. .
Young said he had planned to
travel from Victoria, B.C., to San
Francisco in his steel canoe, car
rying only five gallons of drink
ing water and a Tittle food.
He was reported to the coast
guard py a fishing boat which
spotted him paddling along over
high ocean waves. He was
brought to La Push, Wash., and
held for questioning by customs
officials.

Each oil company sincerely hopes that
this strike can be settled fairly . . . fairly

worked conscientiously and bargained in "
