Several AFL Lumber Plants In Basin
Area Start Operations After Strike
Wheels turned again today in
several AFL lumber plants in
: the Klamath basin district coun
cil area, after a three-month
strike shutdown.
. ODeratlons were resumed thl
morning in the box factory and
planing mill of tne major juam
ath Falls mill involved in the
strike the Bia Lakes Box com
pany. The mill proper will start
hummlna tomorrow.
Kalplne Plywood company of
Kiamatn rails ana tne itaipn jj,
Smith Lumber company of
Klamath Falls. Canby and Al
turas went back to work, as did
' the Associated Lumber and Box
plant at Dorrls. All AFL opera
tions at Lakeview were cleared
for action, and AFL headquar
ters here said that work resump
tion would be generally affected
through the area within a day
or two.
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. Where meetings
have been held, ratification has
taken place.
A remaining trouble point is
- at Weed, Calif., where the big
Long-Bell company plant's sash
: ana door and plywood opera
, ions are still involved in a
; wage issue. 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. .

counted here today. '

The Mitchell xar struck the
washout and was swept into Salt
creek, Porter Mitchell, 8-year-old,
and 5-year-old Brenda
climbed to the car roof; the
mother clung to a fender.
As the man tried to help his

waters swept the child away.
Seconds later a wave captured
the second child; then the moth
er. ,
Mitchell plunged into the
water after them, and disap
