Paul Stevens, manager of the
WCLA office hore, admitted the
possibility of army control had

the letter to which Lowry re
ferred. Doyle F. Pearson, assistant
secretary of the AFL Lumber
and Sawmill Workers northwest
ern district council, atso eherged
the lumbermen with paving the
way for army Intervention,
Pearson said that while he was
In Washington last August, 3, B.
Fltigerald, WCLA Industrial re
lations chief, was there "pre
senting misleading Information
to war agencies In an attempt to
confuse the northwest lumber
situation and discredit labor."
The, purpose of this was to
cause the government to send
in the army, Pearson said. ,
, The labor charges came as the
war manpower commission con
tinued Us new progrnm to return
loggers who have left the In
dustry to take higher paying war
jobs In shipyards and elsewhere.
