Editor, The Times: I just saw

sawmill and logging employees
are now working under wage in
creases Of four and five per cent.
This involves 46 mills and log
ging camps.
How in conscience can local
AFL leaders keep nine hundred
men "on the bricks to try TO
force a few mills in Tacoma TO
pay more than the rest of the
industry?
These 1900 men are work

OF course. before she can
really commence working for

undergo thorough overhaul and

and another. That work Is be-
ing done at Seattle for techni-

Meanwhile the Martinac

the small craft type.
That sort Of setup is right in
line with the one now in opera
ton at the Western Boatbuild-
ing Co. yards here.
The latter plant is currently
remodelling the small purse
seiner Majestic, recently in from
Southern California for CONVEX
sion to navy use as a mine
sweeper.
Nobody asked this depar-
ment but we can't get very
enthusiastic about the navys
plans for the Majestic.
The vessel is undoubtedly con-
structed well enough and she
probably came at an attractive
price.
But the csft just simply isn't
built with any finesse when
judged by standards of con-
struetion which have made Ia
coma fishboat building famous
in the civilian world, at least.
And early indications lead us
to believe the navy is going to
assign about twice as many men
TO the vessel as she'll comforta-
bly, hold, regardless Of her task.
Neither do we understand the
theory Of installing a gigantic
auxiliary engine which will be
several times as large and
powerful as her main propelling
engine. That's almost the same
as man biting dog. accord
