effort to end the six-week-old
shutdown has not told the real
story of the union rank and file.
Yeoman stated that vote, led
by union agents, was then taken
to Invite J. M. White, Long-Bell
manager, to publicly negotiate
with all the striking workers.
The motion passed unanimously,
ho said.
Yeoman denied that a picked
crew of union hirelings had dis
rupted the meeting by boolnp,
and catcalling. The general atti
tude of the crowd was against
the speakers, he asserted.
The Weed report said the
meeting had been called for 7
p. m. In the afternoon, accord
ing to the story, the union
sent out a sound truck an
nouncing a union meeting at
6:30. When the meeting op
ened, the four AFL representa
tives were present. They wore
asked to leave, the report said,
but were allowed to stay on
the sentiment of (he crowd.
There was no violence al
though tension was at its high
est point since the beginning
of the strike on October 20.
,It was revealed Monday
morning that plans were under
foot to picket the Weed Whole
sale conany and the Weed
Mercantile company, Long-Bell
operated concerns in Weed al
legedly because of a verbal al
tercation between Fred G.
Schweitzer, manager of the
mercantile firm, and a negro
picket.
The pickets were to be
thrown around each firm unless
Schweitzer apologized to the
negro. No action had yet been
taken Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile there wer no
furtlu. -'jvelopmenta In at
tempts to settle the strike In
which the workers are seeking
a week's vacation with pay,
wage increases and a union
sho At union headquarters In
Klamath Falls it was said that
parleys would be resumed Wed
nesday. In Weed, however, Manager
White said ho knew nothing of
the plan. The participants have
not met since Nov. 18.
Additional pressure on the
Long-Bell management was
foreseen hero Monday with the
belief that the mill's fuel was
running low. Exhaustion of
the fuel would mean that the
plant's engines could no longer
operate in keeping water press
ure high enough to cover fire
insurance requirements.
It was said by AFL spokes
men that Insurance firms had
notified Long-Bell to that ef
fect. Present fuel supplies will last
only two or three days, it was
believed.
In the last 10 years, the horse
power of engines has been
