The fraudulent nchavior ot the

Miller Firm
Found Guilty
By Examiner
SA FRANCISCO 'API
National Labor Relations Board
trial examiner found Thursday
that the Miller Mercantile Co. Inc ,
nad been guilty of unlair labor
practices at its Wenatchee and
lakima. Wash., stores
The examiner, David F. Dnvle.
recommended that the Portland
Ore., firm be required lo bar
gain with the Retail Clerks Union
as the representative of all Miller
employes in Wenatchee and Yaki
ma, except for office help and
watchmen.
He also recommended that the
company be required to furnish
the union with all data it needs
on wages, hours and' working con
ditions in the two stores.
Doyle said Miller had commit
ted unfair, labor practices in re
fusing to bargain with the union,
changing working conditions arbi
trarily at the Wenatchee store and
refusing to provide the union with
data it had requested.
The examiner said he would not
direct that the five-day week in
stituted unilaterally at Wenatchee
be rescinded because it appears
lo be of benefit lo the employes
and in accordance with their de
sires." He said, however, the five
day week issue should be a sub
ject at the bargaining sessions
when the company and union get
together.
Doyle held a hearing in Wen
atchee last September 30 on un
fair labor practice charges brought
against Miller by the union. His
recommendations go to the NLRB
in Washington for action.
In an earlier proceeding which
involved only the Yakima store,
the NLRB found Miller guilty of un
fair labor practices and directed
it on July 26, 1957 to bargain ex
clusively wilh the Retail Clerks
Union as representative of its
employes there.

l.ad happened, he said, when we
fot outside on top.
We scrambled up a narrow lad
o'er.
At the top, immediately at the
foot of the lower, I could see the
trouble as close as my hand
An angle brace was anchored
through the roof to the "I" beams,
and the foot of the tower had been
bolted to it. But the bolts had
been sheared completely away,
Where once there had been paral
lel plates of steel bolted as one,
lucre now were two plates mov
ing away from each other.
The distance between them var
icd, with gusts of wind, from
two inches to four.
But no beams were cracked, or
threatened.
'That thing's moved about an
inch since I was up here, Lar
son said. I'd swear the plates had
moved half an inch in the 10 min
utes I was on top, but certainly
they didn't.
The metal leg opposite the one
taat had broken away remained
fastened to the brace, but the
Drace had slipped from the steel
beam and was digging into the
wooden surface of the roof, with
each gust of wind one end of the
ower rose and the other end dug
in.
Miller and two men returned
soon and fastened three high-test
teel chains to the loose leg. lhat
would hold for a while, he said,
and it held through the night.
More permanent repairs would
depend on the wind's behavior.
The wind continued tnrougn me
night, but did not reach gusts
ycater than the 46 m.p.h. sweeps
mat shook the tower loose.
Vern Schortgen, city building in
spector, watched the action from
below. It was he, he said, who
erected the tower in 1940 when he
was working for a private firm. He
estimated the angle of tilt at 5
to 8 degrees, but thought the tower
would stay put.
Gel at v said the tower "never
has been bothered by wind before.
Ir must have been hit just right,
lie said neon men, painters and
roofers had been up to the tower
many times and never noticed
anything wrong.
