20 cities and towns of Oregon ano
Washington were closed. In addi-
ton, workers quit on at least eight
log booms, and nine logging camps
already were down.
Boom workers-those who handle
water shipments totaling millions OF
feet of logs every day-were expect
ed to join in the general walkout
during the day.
Boom Workers Idle i'm Tacoma.
A complete shutdown of logging
operations in the Puget Sound area

pia was forecast by nightfall by
Hiding Lindberg, operator of two
logging camps already closed.
Some boom workers already were
idle in Tacoma where $500 AFL and
CIO lumber union members quit,
closing a dozen mills.
Men at four large log booms on
the Willamette River, in Oregon,
stopped work and Chester F. Soren-
son, chairman of the Pacific North

ging operations.

ready was closed. Only a small saw
mill remained in operation.

plants voted to ''go fishing" today.
The general walkout by both AFL

authorized by union leaders who ap-
pealed for the men to stay on the

minimum wage of $105, a 15-cent
increase.
