It is also understood that the cashing in of war bonds has no ticeably increased here since the strike began. More thon 50 per cent of tho struck workers are now em ployed on farms in the Klamath basin with the sanction of the IWA-CIO, a union spokesman said this morning.

' A rumor that more than 300 men voted to return to work at a union meeting Sunday was branded as "untrue" by CIO officials.
