Portland - IUPH - Wage talks between an employer group and another large lumber union ended in a deadlock here Wednesday. The negotiations between the Timber Operators Council and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union broke off with neither side budging from its previous position. The union wants a wage increase of 30 cents an hour and employers maintain that the industry cannot afford any increase. Identical Demands A meeting Tuesday be tween TOC representatives and negotiators for the Inter national Woodworkers of America broke off in the same manner. The unions are making identical wage de mands for both have strike authorizations from their members. Karl Glos, executive vice president of TOC, said any further meetings are up to the unions. Between 55,000 and 60,000 members of the two unions are working under a two-year contract, but they had the op tion of reopening wage talks June 1, Peniiong Upped Employers at Wednesday s meeting pointed out that a 5-cent hourly hike in pension payments went into effect June 1. They said pension costs added in the last two years are now costing the lumber and wood products in- dustry approximately $2.5 million a year. Glos said when the indus try granted the pension in creases last year, it expected to be out of an economic slump. Instead, he said, the market is worse and political and civic leaders are attempt ing to help the industry. Plight Recognized Representatives of both big unions say they recognize tne plight of the lumber industry, but point to wage increases granted in other industries. Threats ot a strike have been soft-pcrinlled. The TOC says the average hourly pay in the industry is now $2.57 an hour, compared to $2.17 an hour In British Columbia. Canadian lumber has been underselling North west lumber in t h e eastern markets. The IWA, however, estimates the average Douglas Fir Belt wage Is $2.18. The Timber Operators Council represents 191 lumber and wood products producers in northern California, Ore gon, Washington and south ern Alaska. The IWA was scheduled to start wage negotiations with one of the large independent companies, Simpson Timber Co., here today.
