(To the Editor) Twelve hundred men and women hit the bricks at the Long Bell Lumber com pany operation, at weed, Cali fornia, Monday morning, to get a humane wage ana worKing conditions. Last soring when the various operations here In Klamath Fall raised their wage scale 6c an hour, the Long Bell operation at Weed did not, and when the union came Into the picture nd the negotiation committee asked for this Be Increase, they were told bv the Long Bell manage ment at Wed that their demand was not moral. The wage scale' In the box fac tory at Weed Is low: 871c, 7sc to 10c tn hour lower than here In this area. In the sawmill it Is 68c low or 8c lower than our scale here, apd 10c lower than many other places In the pine area- Anyono going to work at common labor has tg serve a two or three months' apprenticeship at 60c an hour before he can draw 83c an hour as a regular common labor workman. The Long Bell company gave their employee In the Longview, Washington, plant a three-day vacation with pay period this summer, but when the employes In Weed wanted a vacation witn pay, the management refused to consider lt. I presume it loo was an immoral demand. The hospital set-up at Weed I the rottenest I know of any. where, and that makes lt pretty rotten. The employes of the Long Ball operation at Weed have worked under these conditions for years, this strike has been coming on for a long time, and the Long Bell Lumber company have no one to blame but themselves. The union exhausted every pos sible peaceful means to avoid this strike. A federal conciliator of the United States defense mediation board wa called In by the union, and Mr. Tennant, the general manager of the Long Bell properties, refused to con cede anything. There wasn't any alternative but to strike. The strike wis not voted on the spur of the moment. On meeting was held by the union, at which ell the Issues were dis cussed, and then a vote waa taken as whether or not a strike should be voted on, and they voted that they would hold a meeting one week later, at which time a vote would be taken as whether or not the union would vote to empower their negoti ating committee to call a strike, and that every member of the ualon he notified In writing, tha date this meeting was to be held, and that a strike vote would be taken. That was two week ago Sunday night last. At this meeting the membership voted 99 8-10 per cent to strike. Last Saturday night when final action wis taken, there were 900 men and woman In the hill, The vote wa unanl mous to back up their commit- vm. I saw women crying when this vote was taken, wiping th tear out or. their eye with one hand and voting ye with th other. Their cause 1 Just. They are entitled to- the support of every true American. Mr. White; the manager at Weed, dealt and stalled with the union committee for three week. when he had no authority from Mr. Tennant, the general man ager of the Long Bell Lumber company properties, to give or grant anything. , The Lumber and Sawmill Worker union, AFL, did not want this strike, but now thtt it has been forced on us by on of the largest lumber trust in existence we are ready, our members at Weed are not going to suffer, no one Is going hungry. and no one is going to lose their cars or other possessions that they have bought on contract. All the merchant In Weed but one butcher shop, hi agraed to extend credit to all their regu lar customer. They too, know that the cause of the men and women on strike In Weed 1 Just, And Mr. Average American, put this in your pipe and smoke It, the cost of lumber to the con sumer from August, 1940, to August, 1941, Increased 29.9 per cent, wage Increased In th lum ber Industry U per cent, and this 11 per cent wage Increase, Increased the cost of lumber 8.6 per cent, a net Increase ol 26 per cant to the consumer.
