C, Indicated that the WLB Is going to let the west coast lumber industry settle its own problems. Ueorge w. Taylor. WLB chair man, said at a hearing in Wash ington that the long dispute over 130,000 west coast lumber work ers' wages would provide the iirst test ol peacetime labor-man agement bargaining.
