CIO Agrees On
Lumber Wages
Portland, May 13 W) No gen
eral wage increase In the lum
ber Industry this year.
That was the agreement reach
ed by employers and the CIO
International Woodworkers of
America for the area from Bel
lingham to North of Eugene yes
terday. It is expected to set the
pattern for the industry.
There may be minor pay ad
justments. For one thjng, the
agreement set up a night shift
differential of four cents an
hour and overtime pay for holi
days.
For another, the question of
pay in certain wage classifica
tions was referred to companies
and local unions for settlement.
Although it is expected to be
only a formality, the agreement
must be ratified by individual
employers and local unions. Its
acceptance was recommended
by CIO negotiators and the Lum
bermen's Industrial Relations
committee.
They had been in negotiation
more than three months. When
the meetings began, there was
talk of a 1714-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 $1.45
hourly in the industry. The ag
reement will run to Aprlll, cov
ering about 21,000 western Ore
gon and Washington workers.
Seeks to Deport
Charlie Chaplin
Washington, May 13 W) Sen
ator Cain (R., Wash.) demand
ed today that Screen Actor
Charlie Chaplin be deported,
and accused him of coming "per
ilously close to treason" against
the United States.
In a statement submitted to
senate judiciary commitee.
Cain said the incident was a
year ago when deportation pro
ceedings were brought against
Hanns Eisler.
Cain said Chaplin sent Pable
Picasso of France a "treason
able" messags, as follows:
Can you head committee of
French artists to protest to the
American embassy in Paris the
outrageous deportation pro
ceedings against Hanns Eisler
here, and simultaneously send
me a copy of protest for use
here. Greetings!"
Cain called Picasso a "self-
admitted French communist."
Hanns Eisler is a brother of
Gearhart Eisler who has fled
from the United States as a
stowaway on a Polish ship. The
ship is due at Southampton,
England, tomorrow and the Jus
tice department is arranging to
have Gearhart returned here.
Chaplin, Cain told the sub
committee, "has had numerous
connections with communist
fronts and communist control
led organizations."

Laborites Lose in
British Election
London, May 13 W Conser
vatives scored thumping victo
ries over the ruling labor party
in today's results of town coun
cil elections.
City voters throughout Eng
land and Wales turned sharply
to the right in the voting re
garded as a dress rehearsal for!
labor's general election test next
year.
British Press association re
turns from 392 boroughs out
side of London showed that the
conservatives held 2245 of the
3213 council seats and labor had i
only 296. This was a gain ofj
670 for the tories, a loss of 580
for the labor party.
In London labor held on to
reduced majorities in nine bor
oughs but lost four to the con
servatives. One of those won by
the tories was Wandsworth,
heavily unionized "gashouse
district" the labor stronghold
which elected Foreign Secretary
Bevin to parliament.
Communists were re-elected
to only six council seats in Lon
don, elsewhere communist can
didates were wiped out.
A labor party spokesman said
that while the election results
so far "are very grave," they
did not form a reliable forecast
of the 1950 general elections.
