MEDCO PLANT TO
STRIKESETTLED
Wage Increase 15c Per Hour
Granted Mill Closed
Since Sept. 24
Medford Corporation sawmill
will resume operations Wednes
day as a result o a wage agree
ment reached Friday night with
the Lumber and Sawmill Work
ers Union, AFL Local 2715, ac
cording to B. L. Nutting, corpor
ation manager. The mill has
been idle since Sept. 24 when
the AFL strike sewed up the
lumber industry in the entire
northwest.
Under terms of the settlement
a wage increase of 15 cents per
hour is granted all employees.
According to the agreement
drawn up, it is the intention of
both parties that the wage in
crease shall solve general wage
problems for 1946, "unless there
is a substantial change in the
marketing or operating condi
tions during the year." Any in
crease in price ceilings granted
by the OPA to compensate for
the wage increase shall not be
considered as a reason for ir.iat
ing wage discussions, the agree
ment stated.
Time To Report
The agreement further stated
that a fair-latitude of time will
be allowed for certain em
ployees to return to work after
the date that production is again
resumed, the latitude being al
lowed only in cases of sickness,
accident or lack of transporta
tion for anyone away from home
and for other reasons only in
extenuating circumstances. It is
anticipated that the work week
for the day shift will be Monday
through Friday and for the night
shift. Monday night through
Friday night, the document
stated.
The agreement was signed by
Thomas M. Gray, president of
AFL Local 2715, Ivan Gay, re
cording secretary, and B. L. Nut
ting, Mcdco manager.
Plenty of Logs
Nutting said it was proposed
to start the sawmill day shift at
8 a. m. Wednesday with the
night shift to report at 6 p. m.
It is hoped to return to full pro
duction as soon as possible al
though it will take some time
to get all the machinery back in
shape.
The company's logging opera
tions, under jurisdiction of the
CIO, were not affected by the
strike. Nutting said, and opera
tions have gone ahead. Enough
logs are now on hand for inde
finite operations at the mill it
was stated.
Nutting said the mill will
have to shut down for about a
month at a later date to make
mill repairs but it is planned to
get a supply of lumber in local
yards before closing. The mill
cuts 350,000 feet daily when
operating at full capacity. The
manger said the mill turned out
90.000.000 feet in 1944 and 70,
000,000 feet in 1945, up to the
time operations were halted by
the strike.
Shipping and dry kiln stack
ing crews are to report for work
at 8 a. m. Wednesday with the
dry kiln unstacking and planing
mill crews to report at 8 a. m.
Jan. 10. Night crews will re

CHIEF WORRY OF
JEALOUS SLAYER
San Francisco, Jan. 5 (U.R)
Mrs. Annie Irene Mansfeldt.
widowed socialite mother of
three children, tonight prepared
for her transfer Monday from
the county jail to the state in
stitution for women at Tchachapi
where she begins serving a one
to ten year sentence for shooting
and killing Nurse Vada Martin.
She was found sane yesterday
on her secondary plea of not
guilty by reason of insanity. The
verdict automatically sustained
the conviction of manslaughter
voted earlier by the same jury
of six men and six women who
found her sane after eight hours
and 30 minutes of deliberation
and four ballots.
The exact Icnglh of Mrs.
Mansfeldt's sentence will be set
by the California adult authority
after she has served a year.
Hallinan said the twin verdicts
would not be appealed because
the legal technicalities involved
would take at least a year.
"Mrs. Mansfeldt, who maintain
ed a remarkable composure
during the verdict and subse
quent sentencing, broke down
and sobbed as she was returned
to her cell yesterday.
Today she said: "The uncer
tainty is terrible. I wish I knew
exactly how many years I'm go
ing to be separated from my
children. Uncertainty is the
thing I cannot stand."

TO END RULE OF
Premier III, Cabinet Due to
Resign As Result of
Directive
Tokyo, Sunday, Jan. 6 (U.R)
The Japanese cabinet met in
extraordinary session today to
consider Gen. Douglas MacAr
thur's political purge order, but
Premier Kujuro Shidchara was
unable to attend because of ill
ness. The cabinet considered im
perial ordinances necessary to
carry out MacArthur's purge
directive, but apparently it did
not discuss the matter of cabi
net resignations which were ex
pected to result from the su
preme commander's sweeping
order.
A spokesman said that "no
important decision" was reach
ed at the morning session. He
indicated that the matter of
resignations might be consider
ed when the cabinet met again
in the afternoon.
The ordinances discussed con
cerned dismissals from the gov
ernment, replacements, mem
bership in the house of peers,
pensions and elections.
Home Minister Zenjiro Hiro
kiri, arriving for the meeting,
was asked if the cabinet would
resign. He replied smilingly: !'I
don't know."
New York, Jan. 5 (U.R)
General Douglas MacArthur's
occupation of Japan Is resulting
in one of the greatest and speed
iest changes in the way of life
of a whole people in modern his
tory. Hugh Baillie, president of
the United Press, said today.
Addressing a meeting of the
University club, Bailiie said
that MacArthur's plan for dis
mantling the Japanese govern
ment, separating church and
state, reorienting Its system of
education all were making ter
rific strides.
Baillie described conditions
in the orient as he found them
on a recent trip in the course
of which he interviewed Gen
eral MacArthur, Emperor Hiro
hito and Generalissimo Chiang-Kai-Shek.
"When I was there," he said,
"Japan was like a vast concen
tration camp run by its in
mates. At that time, MacArthur
had no plans for seeing that the
Japanese got any food other
than that which theyould pro
duce themselves. His recent re
port on the occupation, how
ever, indicates that we are go
ing to have to give some thought
to sending them food in order
to prevent a catastrophe which
would make the military-policing
job even more difficult.
"MacArthur is moving in
more strongly on the Japanese
all the time. When the occupa
tion began he declined, even
when asked, to indicate wheth
er or not he would approve cer
tain leaders for cabinet posts.
Now he has ordered the cabinet
purged of all those who In the
past had anything to do with
Japanese militarism."

munist leaders have agreed to
a cease-fire order halting Chi
na's civil war and Gen. George
C. Marshall has agreed to arbi

Gen. Chang Chun, nationalist
governor of Szechwan province,
will be the central government
member of the committee. Gen.
Chou En-Lai, ranking commun
ist delegate to the peoples con
sultative council, will represent
the communists.
The swift success of Marshall's
special mission to China as Pres
ident Truman's personal envoy
raised high hopes in American
circles that the agreement may
permit Chinese troops to take
over the duties of the American
marine garrisons in north China.
Gen. Chou told Chinese re
porters that the agreement on
restoring communications in
cluded lh"i opening of railways,

GOVERNMENT ACTS
TO END PACKERS,
STEEL
Fact Finding Board Moves
To Find Wage-Price
Formulas
Washington, Jan. 5 (U.R)
The government's steel fact-finding
board tonight called on the
U. S. Steel' Corp. and the United
Steelworkers (CIO) to resume
collective bargaining on the
union's demand for a $2-a-day
wage increase.
Meanwhile, federal Labor Con
ciliator Edgar L. Warren said he
hoped current discussions here
would clarify the government
wage-price formula for the meat
packing industry sufficiently to
aid a quick settlement of that
dispute at Chicago mediation
conferences next week.
These developments came as
the labor department revealed
that prices resumed their upward
trend at the end of the war but
that the average wage earner
finds himself with $4.43 less a
week to meet this rising cost of
living.
In both the nleat packing and
steel industries, government
agencies worked against strike
deadlines. The steel union walk
out is scheduled for Jan. 14, In
volving 700,000 workers and the
300,000 meat packing union
workers plan to strike two days
later.
Nathan P. Feinsinger, chair
man of the steel panel, said he
had telegraphed company and
union heads asking them to re
sume the steel negotiations and
report to the panel. No date for
resumption of collective bar
gaining was set.
The labor department's wage-
price report came from the
bureau of labor statistics as the
OPA and the agriculture depart
ment began studies to determine
how much producer prices for
meat and steel can be raised
without increasing retail prices
of the commodities further.

islation program and may tako
the stump in mid-session if de
lays persist.
The president's advisers are
convinced such over-all strategy
would pay off in results and
prestige for the administration.
They feel, also, that Mr. Tru
man has found a satisfactory
middle-of-the road course to.
ward democratic political suc
cess in next November's con
gressional elections provided
the democratic house and sen
ate will travel the same path.
Telegraphic response to Mr.
Truman's Friday night appear to
(ho public to goad congress to
action has been good, white
house secretary Charles G. Ross
said today. He estimated that
favorable messages were In a
ratio of about five, to one which
was unfavorable.
Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., In
a broadcast reply to Mr. Tru
man described some of his pro
gram as "communistic" and
"left wing." The communist
newspaper "Daily Worker."
published In New York, how
ever, complained that Mr. Tru
man had failed to "denounce"
what the publication regards as
the refusal of business to "ne
gotiate with labor or quit it
sit-down against reconversion."
Instead, the "Worker1! lament
ed, the president had "called
for congress to pass his anti
lnbor coollng-off bill banning;
strikes for 30 days In labor dis.
putes."
After 48-hours study, (lis
Washington concensus is that
Mr. Truman Is following close
ly the New Deal pattern of tho
late Franklin D. Roosevelt's
policies, but with somewhat
more sympathy for the moder
ately conservative wing of tho
Democratic party than the latn
president possessed. That, in any
event, is sub s t a n 1 1 a 1 1 y tho
course Mr. Truman's advisers
are urging him to chart and ti
follow.
There is , considerable evi.
deuce that any Important de
vlation from that course toward
the more conservative point of
view would put unbearable!
strains on the New Deal-Demo-cralic
coalition. Maintenance of
that coalition Is essential to
democratic control of the fed
eral government. Mr. Truman
will keep it Intact If he can. If
ho goes too far to tho right, the,
loast penalty he can expect will
be a chilling of the enthusiasm
with which organized labor and
the loft wing would support
him In 1948. If organized labor
gives him only half-hearted sup
port, his political future short
ly will be behind him. If th
Truman administration and tho
left wing of the coalition for
mally parted there might be a
third party movement in 1948
which would make election of
a Democratic president next to
impossible.
Such factors importantly bear
on the shaping of administra
tion policies. It is not surpris
ing under such circumstances
that some of Mr. Truman's ad
visors believe the president
should take the stump to tell
his" story to the people If con
gress remains balky. No travel
plans have, been made since
White House strategy will de
pend largely on congressional
performance In the next two or
three months.
