SECOND STRIKE

charges against Kalpine which
were filed with the National
Labor Relations board some
time ago, claiming the company
' refused to bargain on proof of
a CIO majority.
The Kalpine plant on March
4 was closed down by a CIO
strike which prevented opera
tions for four weeks. On April
1 work was again started when
approximately 40 men, some
of whom were said to be mem
bers of the AFL, . walked
through CIO picket lines. On
April 22, the CIO withdrew
their pickets and called oil ine
strike.
ChargM Pending
The company on April 2 of
fered to recognize the CIO as
holding a majority of workers
"until legal means proved other
wise' and sporadic meetings
were held from that date be
tween the CIO and Kalpine.
Still pending before the labor
board are unfair labor practice
charges filed by both unions
claiming the firm refused to
bargain on alleged proof of
majorities held by each. Boyd
said Wednesday the AFL would
withdraw its charges.
Also before the NLRB is a
comnany petition for a board'
sponsored election to determine
which union holds a majority.
Meanwhile two more Klamath
district lumber mills announced
five cent horizontal wage in
creases to all employes, follow.

Tuesday.
The sprawling Lamm Lumber
company mill at Modoc roini
- and the Klamath Long-Bell
plant both revealed their in
creases would be retroactive to
May 1, as were the other boosts.
Pelican Bay Lumber company
Wednesday posted notices to em
ployes that the firm was plan
ning a wage change to corres-
pond with the average wage pre

new scale would be effective as
of May 1.
Chiloquin Lumber company
at Chiloquin and the Shaw Lum
ber company were still working
on wage revisions. It was under-
stood that the Ivory Pine cora

week, thereby paying time and
one-half for eight hours which
would bring Ivory's scale con

minimum. Executives of several
other mills were out of town but
it was presumed the wage .in
crease would soon be general for
all lumber firms.
Joe Boyd, of the AFL, stated
Wednesday the union looks on
the pay boosts as merely an ap
peasement to employes and con
tends that the workers should be
consulted on every wage revis
ion, either up or down. An
arbitrary change robs men of
their self-respect, Boyd said.
GLEE CLUB TO BID
Klamath's Business and Pro
fessional Women's Glee club,
winner of last year's state glee
club contest and also winner in
1938, will make another bid at

As the prime minister made
his way out of the crowded
chamber after the vote, groups
of members collected around
him and cheered him enthusi
astically. He paused and bowed.
No Retirement
The prime minister pro
claimed, too, a halt to the Brit
ish retreat in the Mediterranean
basin with the flat declaration:
"We intend to defend to the
death and without thought of
retirement Crete and Tobruk."
It is on Crete, big island to
the south of the Greek main
land, that the British and
Greeks are making their final
stand as allies; it is in Tobruk,
Libya, 80 miles from the Egyp
tian border, that a British gar
rison is holding out behind the
axis advanced lines.
Strong Points
Confidentially, Churchill de
clared, "We have every reason
to believe we shall be (success
ful" in holding the valley of the
Nile, Suez and the mid-Mediterranean
island bastion of Malta.
With a touch of acrimony,
Churchill declared that Lloyd
George's speech was not "par
ticularly helpful at this period
and not the speich one would
have expected from a great war
leader."
The prime minister disclosed
that General Sir Archibald Wa
veil, British middle east com
mander, "has under his orders
at the present moment nearly
half a million men."
Churchill said he has "re
ceived assurances of the con
struction of merchant ships by
the United States which, added
to our own large program of
new building and repair, should
see us through 1942."
After Lloyd George criticized
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden for withholding the fact
"that Turkey allowed German
ships to pass through Bosporus
into the Dardanelles" to seize
Greek islands, Churchill said
"Turkey not being a belligerent
had no right to prevent mer

"So far as German invasion
of the Balkans Is concerned,"
Churchill told the house, "we
had long and ample forewarn
ing of what was in prospect.
It is three mouths sincu it Was
stated publicly on the broad
cast that the Bulgarian airfields
were being occupied with the
knowledge of the Bulgarian
government by advance parties

force." Iraq Revolt
Churchill told the house "we
need a great deal moro help
from the United States and I
expect we shall get it."
"It might bo that the Ger
mans will arrive in Iraq .before
we have crushed the ruvolt, in
which case our task would be
greater," Churchill warned, "or
it might be that the revolt went
off in half cock in consequence
of our landing troops at Basra.
"We intend to assist the
Iraquis to get rid of their mili
tary dictator as soon as possible."
More Tanks
Churchill met former War
Secretary Leslie Hore-Bclisha's
criticism of production with
this assertion:
"We are making every month
now -as many heavy tanks as
there existed in the British army
at the time Mr. Hore-Bcllsha
left the war office and we shall
very soon, before the end of
this year, be producing double
that.
"This takes no account o( the
immense production on foot in
the United States."
Churchill defended Eden's
reticence about British dealings
with Spain and Russia, assert
ing: "I am not sure how these
things that could be said about
Spain could be touched on in a
way which would be helpful
to our affairs. Much might be
said about Russia but I am not
quite sure that we should gain
any advantage by saying it and
I am not quite certain we
should receive any thanks from
the Russian soviet government."
He declared, likewise, that he
saw no possible profit in dilat
ing "at length upon the sad,
sorry and squalid tale of what
is going on at Vichy."
Churchill appeared restive
under Lloyd George's prodding.
The little, white-haired Welsh
man lacked his old fire and his
voice sometimes faded to in
audible whispers but he turned
on the heat in demanding a
"real cabinet."
