Harold J. Prischett. president Of
the International woodworkers OF
America. was in Tacoma Wed
nesdsy. eonferring with sawmill
union heads and civic leaders. He
declared the local strikers were
anxious to put their case before
any fsir-mined group Of officials
or public-minded citizens.
Meanwhile. SLRB investiga-
tor. J. Haley. arrived To check on
the st. Paul mill companys plea
for an election to determine
whether or not the Go affiliate
here or the ALL should represent

The company asked recently for an
election. The CTO group has bar
gained at the mill for two years.
II am satisfied a reasonable and
fair-minded attitude on the part of
both sides could settle this situa-
ton in short order" said Pritchett.
There really are only minor points
TO be negotiated. We want no
jurisdictional fight, and believe
that issue should not be raised at
this time.
THE NLRB can throw out the
petition for election. call consent

see which group should bargain"
