An agreement between the Heppner Lumber company and
IWA-CIO local 6-312 which would prevent any work stoppage
at the local mill in the near luture. appeared certain today ac
cording to an announcement by Orville Smith manager of the
mill.
Terms of the agreement, which had not yet been signed
by either party because both were still conferring on the terms,
were not revealed, but Smith indicated that it meant that "woik
will continue at the Heppner Lumber company."
The agreement is the result of a mill-union discussion of the
strike question Tuesday night and a meeting of the local Wed
nesday night at which its members apparently voted to stay on
the job.
On June 1 the mill had received a two-weeks notification of
a possible work stoppage, which was required in a previous agree
ment between the mill and the union, and which if put into effect
would have meant a shutdown by June 15. The new agreement
apparently has no deadline period.
Smith said the new agreement, when signed, will not be a
new contract, but it will keep the men on the job and the mill
running.
