WLB Indicates It Will
Step Out Of West
Coast Dispute
While Klamath's lumber strike
situation appeared to be stale
mated today on the union shop
issue, a WLB official in Wash
ington D. 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. The indi
cated intention of WLB to stay
out of dispute settlement may
mean that there will be little
government action in the Klam
ath strike, it was believed.
This was in line with the
board's new policy to take gov
ernment out of labor r-lations,
he said at the opening of a hear
ing in the dispute, some phases
of which date back 18 months.
- Production Fears
Claude Ballard, international
president of the CIO Woodwork
ers union, and Jerry Simpson,
representative of the national
labor bureau, urged the board to
Issue an order. They insisted
that further delay by negotia
tion would hamper production,
sorely needed for reconversion
to peacetime economy. '
The AFL Carpenters union
Jook a different position than
that of the CIO. recommending
that the case be returned to the
parties for negotiation. Kenneth
Davis, executive secretary of the
mortnwest council of carpenters
union, said the ultimate settle
ment would depend on ability
of the parties "to see into the
future."

Tho new veterans head de

whether tho measure would be
desirable from an economic or

er he considered it in accord

Declaring that his administra

especially In education, Bradley
testified that any condition as
suring more or less continuous
work would have decided effects
on veterans and the veterans ad
ministration. In those circumstances, he
said, fewer would apply for un

said experience showed that
many veterans with partial dis
ability would not claim com
