it cross-secons the entire country-s shown in the
above listing of cities in which General Motors plants
are located.
lts quite natural that when you view the new General
Motors your interest should be what they have
to offer of immediate benefit to you and your family.
But we believe you will find these new models of even
greater interest you Likewise look them in the light
of what they mean in larger sense.
By providing work for your neghbors, a market for
many local industries increased opportunities for the
country large they have served your broader welfare
even before they begin to serve you.
1t is the policy of General Motors to continue h;s
extension of service to the nation even as we continue
to extend the service of each to its purchaser.

Rift of Employer, Worker
Delays Timber Operations
Failure Workers Agree Wage Scale for Woodwork
Retards Operators Launching Prophecied Record
Cut the Coming Winter.

Providing the Timber Workers or
ganization and the Timber Operators
can agree on scale of wages for woods
work, this winter promises to be the
best experienced for several years in
this section of the state.
The contract between the workers and
operators expired Sept. /. A Sched-
ule has been submitted to the opera
tors by the workers and the same is
now being discussed. A meeting of OPP
orators was held in Virginia this week
and the wage scale mulled over.
The feeling is general among the OPP
orators that the demands of the worker
is more than the logging industry will
bear and negotiations are being carried
on to adjust the wages and other con-
ditions to a more negotiable level.
Harry j. Homer, one of Ely'S opera
tors informed the Ely Miner this week
that it would be impossible for him to
meet the demands of the workers and
that unless some adjustments could be
made, he would be compelled to dis
continue operations for the winter.
Other operators in this vicinity have
expressed themselves in a similar vein.
Some have even gone SO far as to make
no arrangements for winter work.
Should the timber industry go into a
winters decline, large number OF
men will be out of work.
According to reports the Timber
Workers Union is holding for wage
scale ranging from $50 to 500, overtime,
shorter hours, and several other condi-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-10-14

lions the operator will be sore put to
meet. Out of the wage scale, board
will be charged at the rate of $50 a
month.
Should no agreement be reached, the
prospective large timber cut prophecied
earlier in the season will not be made.
Several of the larger operators have
about cleaned up their cuts and intend
to initiate no new ones unless some
modified settlement is reached with the
Timber Workers Union organized last
year under the banner of the CLIO and
kept camps in idleness for some time
last year. To further complicate mat
tiers, Governor Benson has declared
himself in favor of feeding all strikers
at public expense again this winter the
same as was done last season.
The pulpwood industry is menaced
by Canadian timber The expectation
of Crown land pulpwood without pro-
cessing is permitted by the province of
Ontario by an order in council which
expires August 1, 1888. Should an ex-
port tariff or an embargo be placed
after that, lake states paper mills might
be compelled to buy ground wood or
pulp in Canada rather than the raw
wood.
Under the favorable conditions fur
niShed by the Canadian government,
about twice as much pulpwood has been
imported from Canada in recent years
as has been cut in lake states forests.

PROTEST OPEN
deer SEASON
John Linklater Chapter Also
Against Opening of State
Game Refuge.

At meeting of the John Linklatel
Chapter of the Izaak Walton League OF
Tuesday evening resolutions were
passed in opposition to the Conservation
departments plan of declaring an oper
deer season this fall as well as opening
the state game refuge to hunting.
Members expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of the action at the
district meeting of the League at CHS
holm where steps were taken to secure
an injunction against the governor on
the grounds of of illegality in declaring
a season for this fall. Individual testi-
mony brought out the fact that there
is no starvation in this area and GER
tainly no overcrowding of deer war;
ranting such an emergency conServa-
ton measure as the department. con-
templates.
The Chapter was particularly OPP
posed to the opening of the State
Game Refuge except through public
hearing and for valid reasons. The
Minnesota state game refuge is the
last large big game refuge Of its type
in the entire middle west and members
felt that to begin opening it up and
placing it in the class of small refugees
would destroy its chief value as an ex-
tensive wilderness preserve.
There was some discussion on the
matter of introducing small mouth bass
into the area and it was suggested that
at the next meeting on November 9,
DR.. H. C. Newgord be invited to ex-
plain his proposed exchange of northern
pike for Missouri small mouths.
Two new members were voted on.
Roland Ericsson and Matt Kapsch were
admitted as members.
