DOIUUS, Calif., May 9. 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
