Strike Settlement The back-to-work program based on ratification by union locals and management of strike settlement announced by negotiators here last Saturday under which the sawmill mini mum wage was hoisted from 871 cents an hour to $1,021. The northwestern AFL council pol icy committee, strategy board for the regional strike, has ex Sressed its disapproval of the .lamath basin settlement, but the council's frowns thus far have not affected ratification by local unions.

The Pine Industrial : Relations committee, Inc., which represented employers generally in ine settlement, was not au thorized to bargain for the sash, door and plywood units at Weed, but did represent the Weed mill and box factory. Unions here said that it is possible the Weed locals will not be willing to re turn to work in the mill and box factory until the situation with respect to the sash, door and plywood units la settled. . : Cars Damaged I In Collision J i t A rear-end collision early yes- r--. uy jiiurmug near tne weed ,;.
