MEDFORD, Plywood Firm lo Close Down Willamina -IUPH- U. S. Ply-: wood Corp. will shut down its plant here indefinitely while 1 it tries to determine if con-; tinned operation is economi- j cally feasible, plant manager Donald Stevens announced Thursday. j The firm normally employs 300 men. Stevens said the plant's 12-foot lathes and other equip ment will be installed at U.S. Plywood's Lebanon opera tions. He indicated the shut down was necessary because of increased production costs brought about by the recent strike settlement, in which unions won a 30',i cent an hour wage increase. "The decision is between shutting down completely and remodeling for production on a substantially reduced basis," Stevens said. "The logs which are avail able now are quite different from those we used 15 or 20 years ago, and the equipment is no longer suitable for hand ling small second - growth logs."
