It HOUR
ISaDOPTEDBY
I
Will Go Into Effect March
1; Present Wane Scale
to Be Retained
Beginning March 1, the local lum
ber Industry will bo operated on a
nlnn-hottr day banln. In tho majority
ot plants eight hours has constituted
a basic day, although some of tho
outlying smaller mills and camvs
havo worked nlno and 10 hours.
Thn .dally wago will remoln at tho
present scale. Tho minimum wago for
common labor Is $2.88, but operator
stato that only a small percentarc of
plant employees draw less than $3.20
dally.
Tho chango In hour wn generally
agreed to by member ot thn local
Lumbermen's association nt n rocont
meeting. Operators claim 'that tboy
aro compelled to adopt thin plan to
meet competition of othor lumbering
areas. All tho largo California plants.
Weed, McCloud, Westwood, Susan
vlllo and others will operate 10 hour
shifts this year, It is said. Tho Pacific
Coast manufacturers aro forced lo In
crease tho hours of dally production,
they declare, to compete In tbo mar
ket with tho southern plno mllU,
which operate; ten hours, or moro,
dally, and hlrn labor at exceedingly
small cost. Tho southern wage is said
to rango from ono to two dollars a
day.
Tho operator' attitude Is that thoy
are forced, If there Is to bo any pos
sibility ot profit In 1922 operations,
either to lower wages or Incroese
hours. They chose tho latter courie
as being the most fair to the employ
pes. In the face of conditions. It wa
tbelr ovtnrcm s Mproiicd Ma tht
meeting of the association, they must
Increaso production, reduce costs by
cutting wages, or close tho plants.
Worker havo glron llttlo expres
sion of their attitude. Most of the
local factories notified their em
ployees ot the proposed chango yes
terday. Former Commander of
