FEELS AFL STRIKE
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 18 (ff)
Construction work in four north
west states was scheduled to
feel the pinch of the AFL lum
ber workers strike beginning to
day as the union sought to
tighten its grip on the industry.
Scores of smaller home and
commercial jobs were halted as
affiliated trade unions heeded
AFL declarations that CIO pro
duced lumber was "hot." Build
ing had been gaining momen
tum, using lumber produced at
the rival union manned mills
where operations continue.
An AFL union spokesman
charged operators of CIO man
ned mills were trying to help
break the AFL wage strike
which closed more than 300
sawmills and fabricating plants
four weeks ago.
Tract Deliveries V
Mobile AFL pickets have
traced lumber deliveries for sev
eral days. At Grays Harbor and
Vancouver, Wash., carpenters
have halted work and scores of
construction' projects in - - the
Portland area were idle today,
There were no new orders by
AFL mill operators to negotiate,
although a Willamette valley
group representating about 20
mills may resume meetings with
the AFL early next week. The
union - demands $1.10 hourly
minimum for its 61,000 workers.
Meanwhile CIO negotiations
with operators of big fir mills
continue through the U. S. con
ciliation service over the Inter
national Woodworkers of Amer
ica demands for 25 cent an hour
Increase.
Picketing Violence'
A belated report of picketing
violence came from Astoria.
Sheriff Paul Kearney said one
AFL worker was struck on the
bead by an unidentified assail
nt while picketing the O'Brien
Sram spruce mill Tuesday. He
(vas not seriously injured. The
mill, a CIO affiliate, is still
closed.
Pickets appeared at two more
Lane county mills, but both con
tinued operation.
At Tacoma, a superior court
I u d g e continued injunctions
which prevent AFL picketing at
the St. Paul-Tacoma and White
River Lumber companies, both
inder CIO contract.
The army Is releasing more
than 23,000,000 rounds of shot
gun ammunition for hunters.
Head for the house, folks, and
bar the windows!

Jap Soldier
Finds War Over
MANILA, Oct. 18 (P) A
Japanese soldier, Shljo Fuku
moto, came out of his hillside
cave less than 20 miles from
Manila today, and learned
that the war was over.
He surrendered a bag of
rice, a half-pound of cassava
chips (roots), one can of salt
and two hand grenades, and
was placed in a prisoner of
war camp.
"Now I can go home to

That sounds hard-boiled, sel

and after all self-preservation is
the first law of nature.

But we can't trifle with things
such as the atom' bomb. From

Kagawa said, "If part of the
treasure could be used to pay
for the importing of rice, salt,
raw cotton and other scarce com

prove to be the greatest thing
for the happiness of the Japanese
people."
Addressing MacArthur through
