.put in the light.
A committee of three men
from Shelton, Washington, claim
ing to represent 22 Washington
state locals of the Sawmill and
Timber Workers union, held a
meeting Monday night in the
Masonic hall for the purpose of
arousing sentiment among the
union men gaainst Abe W. Muir,
vice-president of the carpenters
and joiners union who has been
at the head of the lumber strike.
The objection to Muir, they as
serted. was that he had effected
the. Longview settlement without
obligating the companies to rec
ognize the union, a vital point
in the dispute, and they urged
that he he required to sever
his connection with the timber
workers union. They denied that
the Washington locals which re
pudiated the settlement are hold
ing out for 75 cents an hour
minimum wage, which they ad
mitted is imposs'' !e under pro-
eent conditions.
