Strike Continues
To Pile Up Dead
In San Francisco
San Francisco (U.R) San
Francisco, city of the unburied
dead, counted Friday more than
840 bodies awaiting burial in 11
cemeteries closed by a 52-day
atrike and lockout.
The city Health Department
reported scarce storage space in
mortuaries is rapidly being used
up at a rate of 10 new additions
a day.
Negotiations in the protracted
dispute resumed today with both
sides hopeful a settlement might
not be far off. The cemetery ne
gotiators were studying a union
proposal for a 27-cent hourly
wage increase in a two-year con
tract. It was the first time the union
budged from its insistence on a
one-year contract, with a 15
cent hourly raise retroactive to
March 1. The union previously
rejected an employer offer for a
three-year contract with a total
of 22'i cents an hour in raises.
Grounds Unkept
Proprietors of the struck ceme
teries, all located in suburban
Colma outside the city limits,
reported the grounds are scenes
of desolation and waste. Lawns
are uncut and full of weeds.
Scattered throughout are decay
ed flowers and the rusted wire
remains of funeral wreaths
abandoned when members of the
Cemetery Workers Union walked
out in April. '
In San Francisco itself, mortu
aries were faced not only with
the problem of storage space for
bodies, but a strike and lockout
involving the embalmers union
That dispute is now in its 36th
day.
United Effort
Mortuary owners met the
problem by uniting to help each
other meet all embalming needs
an unusual situation in a high
ly competitive field. Most mor
tuary owners are licensed em
balmers.
Each mortuary owner posted
a $5,000 bond which would have
to be forfeited to their associa
tion if he gave into the union
The union has asked a pay
raise, but the chief issue in dis
pute is its insistence that only
members of the Embalmers
union be allowed to handle fun
eral details, such as telephone
arrangements, reception of
bodies and office problems.

Milwaukie Plant
. Milwaukie, Ore. (U.R) Flames
swept through the Milwaukie
Box and Veneer plant here
Thursday right, blocking high
way and trolley traffic and caus
ing damage at S50.000-
One man was injured in the
spectacular blaze, which saw all
off-duty firemen called to the
scene. Charles Thomas, 35,
Clackamas county . deputy sher
iff, suffered cuts and bruises
whn he fell through a fire-
weakened floor.
Glen Fisher, a night boiler
fireman, recovered the fire lap
ping from a dry kiln at 6:40 p.m,
In a few minutes flames were
leaping 75 to 100 feet above the
roof. Most of the damage was
confined to the front part of the
building. ..-.
In a matter of minutes traffic
rn highway 99-E was lined up
for blocks and lines laid across
the Portland-Oregon City trolley
tracks delayed traffic several
hours.
The loss was covered by insur
ance, according to R. G. Caffall
. Jr., general manager. The plant
employs 75 people and has been
manufacturing seasonal vegeta
ble box tops and bottoms. ,
Caffall said work will start
Monday on rebuilding, and he
expects the firm to be back in
full operation within a month.
The conquest in 1953 of the
world's highest peak, Mount
Everest, broke the spell that had
guarded other giants of the
Himalayas. Italians in 1954
climbed K - 2, second - highest
mountain. Kanchenpunga (28

feet) yielded in 1953.
