MILL STRIKE

Fifth Place in War
Loan Drive Sales
Kesterson mill employes were
still out on strike Friday. The
entire crew of about 200 men
and women workers walked off
the job Wednesday.
Today the IWA office, with
which the crew is affiliated, is
sued the following statements as
to the reasons for work stoppage:
Statement of plant committee
of Kesterson Lumber corporation
on issues listed below:
1. Company's announced can
cellation of Working Agreement.
This agreement was signed in
January of 1944. The union sin
cerely attempted to complete
this contract by negotiations
over a long period of months af
ter their certification as bar
gaining agent in December in
1942 but with only stalling on
the part of the company. The
company was finally ordered by
the war labor board to execute
this agreement. The company
now attempts to cancel the agree
ment after only being in oper
ation for approximately six
months.
2. War Labor Board's Direc
tive on Vacations.
The company refuses to pay
their employes on the basis as
set forth in the war labor board's
directive. This action, in our
opinion is a direct affront to the
established agencies of govern
ment and their directives.
3. War. Labor Board's Direc
tive on Union Maintenance. -
The company refuses to com
ply in any manner with this di
rective clearly indicating that
they do not intend to abide by
any actions of the established
agencies of government.
The crew stands ready and
willing to return to work at any
time that the company agrees to
the three points listed below:
1. Placing the working agree
ment back in full force and ef
fect. 2. Pay vacation pay as direct
ed by the national war labor
board and paid by the large ma
jority of employers on that basis.
3. Abide by the directive or
der of the national war labor
board on. union maintenance.
