More than 10000 lumber
and sawmill workers remain
ed idle in the Pacific north
west Monday while a strike of
bakery employees gave Detroit a
threat of a bread shortage and AFL
mechanics at San Francisco defieo
a war labor board directive to work
more than 48 hours per week.

to Pennsylvania and Maryland
points was halted after $50 drivers

seniority and other grievances.
TRY TO END 1T
Government officials conferred
with company officials and leaders
of the AF'L union in an effort to
end the strike which if continued
will seriously impede travel over
the Memorial Day holiday.
In the Puget Sound and Portland,
Ore, regions lumber workers con-
tinued a strike, now 10 days old,
as members of the AFL union
charged that the war labor board
lacked jurisc iction to end the walk
out because it had failed to inves-
