(From Monday's Dally.)
That tlio saw mills of tho Western
Pino Manufacturers Association will
noon bo operated on nn eight-hour
day basis Is Indicated In newspaper
reports following tho recent special
meeting of tho association In Spo
kane J. P. Keyes, manager of tho
Brooks-Scanlon plant In Uenil, who
returned from Spokane yesterday, re
ports that tho meeting discussed the
eight-hour day matter but that any
doflnlto action, sue has reported In
tho news dispatches, must havo been
taken following his departure.
According to Mr. Keyes, the nttl
tudo of the West Coast Association
on tho eight-hour day was felt to have
such an important bearing on tho sit
uation that a special committee was
appointed to confer with that associa
tion before reaching any decision.
Tho Orcgonlan report of the adop
tion of tho eight-hour day, appearing
in tho Sunday edition, Is as follows:
SPOKAXE. Wash., Dec. S. By a
vote of nearly 3 to 1, heads of or
ganized lumber companies operating
in tho Western Pine Manufacturers'
association last night decided to In
stall tho eight-hour day in camps,
mills and allied plants of tho north
western lumber industry on January
1, according to the announcement of
A. W. Cooper, at tho breakup of a
two-day executive session of the body
this noon.
"Tho payrolls will remain the
same," Mr. Cooper said, "and tho
action will be taken by simply lop
ping two hours off the working day.
I cannot say who Introduced the reso
lution. All members of the associa
tion wo expect will abide by the de
cision." No attempt was made to conceal
the fact that a bitter internal fight
had "waged In tho organization during
tho discussion of the matter. Threats
to withdraw ifrom tho association had
been mado by the minority.
It Is known that tho lumber oper
ators In Eastern Oregon were the
chief opponents of the policy. About
5 separata companies are involved in i
the association, whoso operations cov
er Idaho and Montana, as well as
Eastern Washington and Eastorn
Oregon.
"The vote will not be rescinded."
Socrotary Cooper said, "the associa
tion members having taken their

"You will bo happy to hoar that
tho Western Pino association, guided
by n broad-minded conception of pat
riotism, has Just advised your com
mission of tho voluntary adoption by
It of tho eight-hour day within Its
own lumber field, to become effective
on January 1. In addition tho as
sociation will Initiate In tho new year
a far-sighted programme of dealing
with tho complex problems of Indus
trial relations peculiar to tho lumber
industry of tho northwest. This
mentis that tho national policy as to
working hours, conditions, conducive
to stability, and standards Justifying
expectations for maximum productive
efficiency havo been Introduced Into
tho great Inland Empire, embracing
vast sections of the states of Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon,
having nu annual cut of 2,200,000,

16,000 men. Tho pioneer action thus

northwest In Its entirety will soon
adopt a policy which will bo a unique
contribution toward the effective ex
ecution of the war program.
