The strike of box factory workers which has paralyzed the lumber Industry here since March 1, ended with the resumption of operations today by the Associated Lumber & Box com puny and the Dorris Lumber & Box company plants. The factories re sumed on a nine-hour day basis. Tho end of the strike was unani mously voted Saturday evening by the strikers, following a meeting at tended by citizens, operators and strikers. About forty men are working to day, but it is believed the plants soon will be operating at capacity when the former employes who left this region when the strike was call ed, return. A .cport is current he that an attempt will be made this week to operate the plants at Klam ath Falls. The ending of the strike Is taken to mean that the local strikers, who became members of the Internatlon al Tlniherworkers' union at the out set of the strike, have given up the fight as a hopeless proposition, and relinquished all connection with the Klamath Falls labor organization T DROPPED DEAD AT ii TABLE The deaths of Mr. and Mrs. John Nichols came three days apart.
