This feuturo bus been disregarded In full by tho IWA-CIO locul, lie stated. Tho west count lumber com mission, which is a part uf tho war lubur bourd, handed down a decision grunting miiintenuuco uf membership to the locul mid in a purl of tho agreement to run concurrently with tho ugreo menl. Tho prcsont controversy slurlcd will) the IWA-CIO un ion's attempt tu force u union shop while the 'agreement dictat ed otherwise, Lovuy stated, Lovuy further churgud thut thu inunnor hi which tho strike vote of thu mill employes was taken could not bo Justified by any clear thinking individual und reflected Irresponsibility on the purl of thu officials of the locul IWA-CIO. Voted August 6 Tills strlko vote was taken at a meeting August 8, cullod by tho issuance of a circular that wus unsigned and circulated to nil operations in this area, Lovuy wild. During the general discussion lit this meeting, some ono sug gested that a strike vote be token, heuleclnrcd, of tho em ployes In kho mill. This wus done by u show of hnnds with out determining whether thuso voting woro actually working lit tho mill and It has been estab lished thut somo voted who wero employed In other places, ho uddud. No record In the min utes of the meeting shows the number uf voters, us well as the denial of the privilege of those working on tho night shift to vote, Luvny said. The constitution of tile IWA clenrly stales thut the muttor of voting on strikes must bo by se cret ballot, which point again brings out the illegality of the strike so called. Lovay claimed. Lovay quoted from the last paragraph of the agreement that: "Normnl opcrntinna shall not be NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES ON STRIKE Your dues for medical care under Klamath Medical Service Bureau's prepaid medical program becomes due Sept 1, 1945. -" .. .... ;, ".'..I-- To derive benefits from your medical care program, dues must be paid by Sept. 5, 1945, at the Klamath Medical Service Bu reau office, 355 East Main Street, or at union headquarters.

Tho IWA-CIO local did not avail itself of this machinery, Lovuy said, and as a result dis regarded all other opportunities that might have produced re sults, Tho machinists union, which also holds an agreement In the plant, was nut consulted us tu tho Intentions of the IWA CIO prior to the action taken, although the IWA-CIO knew full well Unit an action of Hint nature directly affected tho ma chinists. In conclusion Lovuy dcEliircd that: "Wc firmly believe that when an agreement is written und ratified by tho membership involved, duly signed by the proper representatives and for a given period of time, that whut Is embodied In thut agreement must be lived up to until tho ter mination dale. All grievances that may develop must tako tho steps us outlined In tho agree ment which are set up to correct such complaints. Unforeseen sltuullons not covored by the agreement must be met by mu tual consent of both parties," "We will now or In the future respect and support any picket lino ur legitimate fight that is directed agulnsl any company and done us prescribed in the laws uf tho organization,, In the Woycrhacuscr case it has been recommended to the member ship involved that they return to work In a body, feeling that wo arc doing the work assigned to us and no other.
