NLRB Election Expected To Clear
Way For Resumption Of Negotiations

Next Saturdays bslloting on
neutral ground viii decide the
issue Of which of two unions shall
be the collective bargaining sgen-
cy for s96 eligible employees of
the ST. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co.
With polls open from 10 a. m.
TO p. m. this will be the first
time the national labor relations
board has conducted an official
election Of the kind in Tacoma
The election is expected TO clear
the way for resumption of nego-
tiations looking to settlement of
issues which brought on strike
affecting all ST. Paul 4 Tacoma
Lumber Co. operations and COM
plete shutdown last May Is.
Reach Agreement
Agreement Of the company's rep
resentativeS and the AFL-affiliated
Lumber & Sawmill Workers, Local
25o6. preceded the consent of CO.
affiliated IVA, Local ., which sub
mitted the question to vote of its
membership Saturday afternoon
and obtained favorable reaction.
Boommen. rsfters, clerical en-
ployes, shingle weavers and super
visors ranking as foremen or high
er will be excluded from the cleo
ton; also excluded will be en-
ployes who have quit or have been
discharged for cause since the
strike started. However, it was
understood there are 995 eligibles
based upon company lists of all
employees employed during the last
normal payroll period in May in
the company's sawmill and woods
operations. including employees who
did not work during that period
because of sickness or vacation.
State Preference
The ballots are to be provided
by the NLRB, under whose entire
direction the election will be held.
These ballots will enable eligible
employees to state their preference
for a collective bargaining agency
either the International Wood
workers Of America, Local 9,
(CIO), or the Lumber & Sawmill
Workers, Local 2506, (AFL), or
nathan ~ ithaca ,antnnc
No Election Held
Recognition of IVA Local 9 as
the collective bargaining agency
for the employees in August, 1887,
was based on action of Regional
Director Hope of the NLRB. who
determined the preference from
payroll check. No election had
then, or since, been held.
Affairs drifted along without
definite action until the middle of
July when the Lumber & Sawmill
Wo4kqp ---tAFL) made claim to
majority representation, filing its
claim with the NLRB and the COM
pany.
About To Fail
Efforts at first to bring
consent election to which all
parties would voluntarily agree
seemed about to fail. To the pro-
posal, Local 9, IVA, insisted at the
outset that the company agree to
sign the June l rejected terms
whatever the outcome of such an
election. This the company re-
fused to do.
Then, continuing efforts to bring
the factions together. Elwyn ].
Eagen, present regional director
of the NLRB, came to Tacoma
with his staff last Friday and after
a prolonged conference upon terms
which he had drawn up. succeeded
in agreement of all parties to the
election to be held Saturday.
Some Excluded
Boommen and rafters, single
weavers and clerical employees were
excluded because they are under
other union charters.
