Lumber Strike
Hits Log Fleet
VANCOUVER, B. C, May 21
(CP) A large part of British
Columbia's log-towing fleet may
be forced Into idleness as a re
sult of the seven-day-old strike
of 37,000 loggers which contin
ues to spread. However, moves
to settle the strike were expect
ed in union and company circles
today.
One company's entire towing
fleet is tied up and others will
be effected when the last logs
from strike-bound logging camps
have reached Vancouver. How
ever, there have been no layoffs
and towing operators said they
were hopeful of finding other
work during the next week.
In Victoria, Labor Minister
Pearson said "I have been hope
ful that we might have some
thing" in the province's labor
department, while from Ottawa
came indications the federal gov
ernment might already be ar
ranging moves to settle the dis
pute. Federal Deputy Labor Minis
ter Arthur MacNamara said in
a telephone interview with the
Vancouver News Herald last
night that the department was
keeping in close touch with the
situation and "we are anxious to
get them back to work at the
earliest possible moment."
"I am not saying that no
steps have been taken," Mr.
MacNamara said In a reply to a
question.
