UP TO ITS OLD TRICKS
(By The Federated Press

Portland, Ore. Peonage On a scale
almost IS vast as that il the coal fields
of West Virginia exists in the numbering
camps and sawmilI towns Of Northern
California. Men are chained to the
land and forced to work whether they
wish it Of not. No open labor organ
izations are permitted to exist and per-
sons not meeting with the approval If
the managers Of the cities. who are for
the most part company officials, are
placed on trains. owned by the log
ging companies and shipped out Of the
country.
Ownership of vast tracts enables the
few holding and operating companies
to maintain themselves in power on a
scale Of feudal magnificance that de-
flies all state authority. Iii wild and
isolated spots, far from any towns Of
large cities. the owners of the land have
erected mills, built railways that run
in hundreds Of miles Of heavy construc-
ton and their logging operations are,
for extensiyeness and magnitude. UNI
equalled anywhere.
The timber logged and manufactured
into lumber IS principally yellow and
sugar pine both very valuable woods
that bring high prices in, the markets.
The product is used principally for box
making, Logging camps. sawmills and
box factories. which hire many women,
are the only industrial plants found in
the company-owned towns.
The Weed Lumber Co., at Weed,
Cal, has recently been taken over BY
the Long-Bell Co. This company has
extensive lumber operations in the
south Mississippi River valley and is ac-
customed TO using negroes and the
poorest class of southern labor. 1t has
ANNOUNCED that it is going TO pay as
little and work as long hours in their
northern camps and mills as they do
in the South. The attempt to bring
back the l0-hour day at Weed is part
of their policy.
The same company has purchased
thousands Of acres of timber in north
ern Oregon and southwestern Washing
ton. Ii has begun operations on
large scale at Kelso, Wash. on the CO.
lumbia river. about SO miles west Of
Portland. Labor leaders around Port
land declare that the Long-BeII will,
if successful in beating down the work
ers in Weed, do the same thing in their
spruce and fir camps.
