Dissolution of the union was announced by E. N. Wightman, treasurer, who accused the CIO International Woodworkers of America of "maneuvering" through the national labor rela tions board for a scries of elec tions in which ballots provided only for a choice of the CIO or no union. The probability that workers would accept the CIO rather than abandon representation elude numerous educational as sociations, and he has served as president of the department of superintendents of the Oregon State Teachers association, vice president of the Inland Empire Education association, and presi dent of the Eastern Oregon Edu cation conference. Gralapp was selected from among 60 applicants for the lo cal position. Of this number, 10 men were invited here by the school boards for interviews. The boards of both districts col laborated in all the interviews and in the selection of Gralapp. Boards Agree Final action was taken by the high school board Monday eve ning, and on Wednesday eve ning the city elementary school board took the same action. The movement to unite the administration of the schools here has been in an active stage for more than a year. Many joint meetings have been held, and the problem was discussed with prominent educational experts of the state. Under the flan finally adopt ed, the two districts will retain their legal identities, due to the difficult technical problems ot physical consolidation. The boards, however, will collabor ate closely and operate the schools, from a practical stand point, as a single system under the single head after July 1, 1942. Such a plan has been used successfully in other communi ties, according to local school officials. Looking for Bargains?

Approximately 1000 1EU mem bers already have switched to the AFL, Wightman added. The IEU was established In the Willamette valley and west ern pine regions on April 29. 1937, after federal legislation outlawing employer employe combinations forced suspension of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen (4-L). It survived an attack by the CIO, hi which tho AFL partici pated, before the NLRB a hearing which occupied months and produced huge volumes of testimony. The decision to disband was assailed by Ralph Peoples, sec retary of the Oregon State In dustrial Union council, CIO, as "a last desperate effort on the part of this company-dominated organization to stop the success ful membership drive now being conducted in the Willamette val ley by the IWA. "In our estimation it points toward collusion between em ployers, the IEU and the AFL." Joe Boyd, AFL organizer, Thursday morning claimed a ma jority for the AFL at four form er IEU mills in southern Ore gon and northern California and said a charter had been issued at each place for the establish ment of local chapters. Most employes of the Crater Lake Box and Lumber company and the Hoseley Logging com pany, both of Sprague River, the Butte Falls Logging company of Butte Falls, and the Hilt Lum ber company of Hilt, Calif., have indicated their intention of AFL affiliation, Boyd asserted. National Labor Relations Board hearings on unfair labor practice charges filed against both Sprague River firms have recently been concluded in Klamath Falls, both accusations involving the IEU. The Inter national Woodworkers of Amer ica (CIO), instigator of each charge, asserted the firms were interfering in union activities. The IEU was the bargaining agent for both companies at the time. Boyd said all four of the new mill locals will be associated HUH with the Klamath district coun cil of the AFL-Lumber and Saw mill Workers union. It was believed that negotia tions between tho AFL and mill employers would begin in the near future. Roosevelt Keeps Silent on Plans For British Aid WASHINGTON.
