Marsh Will Work
For Sliding Scale

SEATTIE-Feder Labor Con-
ciliator Ernest p. Marsh WAS en-
gagged in acknowledgements activi-
ties today in an attempt TO settle
growing series Of strikes in the
northwest lumber industry.
II is Marsh's hope that, in CO.
operation with Dexter NJ. Keezer,
president Of Reed college, he can
secure an agreement from ALL
and CLIO union leaders to q sliding
wage scale which will boost the
wages OF loggers and mill workers
when the price Of lumber goes up.
An estimated $500 men already
were idle in the Northwest be-
cause Of wage disputes involving
the Lumber and Sswmill Workers
union (AFL) and the Interns-
tionsl woodworkers association
(Co).
Representatives Of CIo workers
employed in five Portland mills
scheduled a showdown conference
with employers for this afternoon
10 present their demands for a
wage increase from 62i. cents 10
20 cents an hour. Negoastors
have been given strike authority
by the 1900 men involved.
AFL union leaders were 20 con-
fer with employers in Portland to
night TO discuss similar demands
They said unless settlement Of diff
ferenees il effected before the
present contracts expire Sunday,
a strike vote viii be taken
The CLIO and AFL have pre-
scented a united front in making
their demands on mill operators.
Their requests for higher wages
are part Of an inous,ry-wide de-
msnd.
