Union Men
File Protest
0nLunber Cut
Write Strong Letter to Code
Authorities on Smallness
of Local Quota.
SAY RESULT rs
LESS EMPLOYMENT

The Lumber and Timber Worker
Union of Libby has filed strong pro
test with lumber code authorities be-
cause of what they consider an unfai
quota of log and lumber cut grantee
the ]. Neils Lumber company. Because
of the unfair quota and the resulting
small cut, they state they are being de-
prived of labor and income that is just.
ly their due.
Three hundred union men have
mailed identical letters to the Western
Pine Manufacturers association, the
code authority at Portland, Or, and also
to the national code authority at Wash
ington, D. c., protesting against this I'M
fair quota. A copy of the letter follows
Libby. Montana, April 5, 1884
Western Pine Manufacturers Assn,
Yeon Building,
Portland, Oregon.
Gentlemen
The local lumber and timber workers
of this community wish to make pro-
test against the quota of logs to be cut
and lumber manufactured by the J
Neils Lumber company here at Libby
On investigation we find that the
lumber mills located to the west and
south of us are running their saw mills
and planners full capacity, while the J.
Neils Lumber companys quota is cut
down SO that they can not even operate
their saw mill one shift full time and
this one shift is divided among two
crews of men SO that the average hours
per week for each man is about 20
hours and our local industry has been
operating in this manner ever since
the Recovery Act was first put into
effect.
For the reason that the quota Of lum-
Der to be manufactured and logs to be
cut is SO low the J. Neils Lumber COM
pany is forced to buy stock from mills
In Spokane, Washington and on the
coast to fill their orders and are turn
ing away orders daily for lack Of stock.
thus taking local men out of employ
ment
There are approximately six hundred
men In this community depending en-
tirely on the local lumber industry for
a living and If the quota of logs to be
cut and lumber manufactured could be
raised SO that the j Neils Lumber COM
pany could operate on a par with other
companies, these men could then make
for themselves reasonable living and
establish their credit with the local
merchants. This would also be biz re-
lief to our local relief organization and
take care of the EMPLOYMENT Of many
who are now being laid off from the
CWA and PWA projects.
For the above reasons /. a member of
the Lumber and Timber Workers Union
No. 1895, affiliated with the A. f. of
L., demand that the Code Authorities
Of Washington, D. c., and the Western
Pine Manufacturers Association Of
Portland, Oregon investigate the IN
fair low quota assigned the J. Neils
Lumber company of Libby, Montana,
and raise the quota so that the mill NAV
be operated two shifts on a par with
other mills.
We have waited three years Tor bet
ter times and now that better times are
here our living conditions have not been
bettered one bit through the unfairness
of the administration of the lumber code
quotas and our patience is nearly
reaching the point Of exhaustion.
Yours very truly,

in the shadows of st. Raymond's

passed the money, at time when
Colonel Lindbergh's infant son

I This was obviously one Of the
