SALEM, Auj. 30 OV-Governor
Erl Sncil today told the
10 members of bis te:.v -appointed
foreitry invertifation commit
tee that iu mam problems wiil
be to rtudy the Tillamook burn
ml th divided authority be

The Tillamook bum. which j
has burned this year lor the !
thjrd time iince 1933. present!
a program trial involves jwj v
work and expenditures of mil
lions of dollars, the governor
said.
Committee's Task
He told the committee, hold
ing its first meeting bere today,
that it must determine how and
who should remove snags in the
area, and bow a reforestation
should be financed. It
also should determine, he added f
when logging should be permit-(
ted on the burn, and whether!
ownership should pass to a pub-1
lie agency.
-Personally. I am opposed to;
increased federal ownership of
lands in our state." the governor
declared. "The federal govern-1,
ment now owns 56 per cent of ;
the entire state and in recent i
vears has been acquiring adds-;
iional holdings at the rate of;
100.000 acres per year.
"Vet by the same token. Ij
have always favored federal- j
state cooperation, particularly
in connection with projects that j
transcend state lines, or in those i
case where the projects are ofj
such magnitude that it is entire
ly illogical or impractical for the
state and local political sub
divisions to undertake such acti
vation. Asks Investigation
He asked the committee, to

various organizations, and the
governor has no power over it.
The board then appoints the state
forester. Thus, Snell explained,
the governor has no power over
the forestry organization, but
yet bears the responsibility.

"I was shot down on the

the marine ace said. "I had 20

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE
TRUTH
ABOUT THE
STEHKE 1
AGAINST
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Other Mills and Log
ging Operations Under Contract With the International Wood
workers of America C.I.O.
We endeavored to buy Radio Time to tell the public our itory but Io and
behold, the Radio Station asks $5.00 a minute (5300.00 an hour) for the use
of their Station. We are only working men and women and cannot afford the
luxury of buying; such time.
Men and women of this Community who work in the Camps and Mills
started to organize to correct intolerable conditions and to bring wages up so a
decent standard of living could be maintained. Seniority Rights was one of the
biggest things the Working People wanted. These people asked that their jobs
be protected by Seniority instead of "Boot-Licking" and "Favoritism." Seniority
has been continually violated and many grievances could not be settled with
these Companies, but mainly by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company where the
Strike started.
These Companies tried to discourage people from joining the Union and
many men feared losing their jobs. The workers tried to negotiate a Union
Security Clause into their Contracts but were flatly refused. "IT IS ACAINST
COMPANY POLICY." the men were told. Finally, the War Labor Board, a
United States Government Agency, granted the present Union Security Clause.
BUT THE COMPANIES REFUSED TO ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE V. S.
GOVERNMENT AGENCY and violated the Agreement many times.
Time after time the Contracts were broken but because we were at War
the men and women STAYED ON THE JOB FOR OVER A YEAR without
getting some grievances settled. The last violation of the Contract was the
"Straw that broke the Camel's back" and the Union Members are on Strike to
sea that tht Campania comply with their working Agreements. The only way
that we can be sure that the Companies are in GOOD FAITH IS for them
to grant Union Security Clauses in their Contracts.
This Strike can be settled now, but so far, the Pine Industrial Relations
Committee, Inc. (the Union for the Companies) refuses to discuss the matter
in the presence of the United States Conciliation Service a Government Agency
set up for the purpose of settling Labor Disputes.
The Companies say that they will not grant a Union Security Clause be
cause some of the Employees do not want it. Where the Strike started in the
Weyerhaeuser Camps, only- on man was against iti
The Members of Local 6-12 challenge the Companies to put it up to a vote
of their employees, whether they belong to the Union or not, if they want to
return to work with a Union Shop Clause in their Contracts.

Slugjed With Bat
"On March 7, 1944. I was
transported to a secret navy
camp in the country village of
Una, Japan, for questioning.
"It was here tnat I was given
the baseball bat treatment. It
consists of standing with your
hands tied while a guard slugged
my back and legs with the pat
as hard as he could. Bly rump
was so swollen I could see it over
my shoulder. Then I got slugged

of Maj. Gen. Phil Harris, who
was - captured on Corregidor,
reading an item about Russian

successes in Europe from a news
paper he had fished from agar
oage can.
"The Jap called all prisoners
into formation and then beat
Harris for half an hour with a
baseball bat. knocking him down
20 times. When Harris was fi
nally knocked out, the Jap
kicked him in the face and not
