STATEMENT OF STAND

The Northwestern Council, Lum-
Der and SaWmill Workers strike
which clamped down Monday morn
ing in the Pacific Northwest, in
cludes the local Lumber and Saw
mill Workers Unions in Lincoln
county. Pickets have been estab-
lished in Libby and work at the J.
Neils Lumber Company mill is at
standstill
The strike followed failure Of the
unions and nuerators to get together
at the meeting called September 18
by Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach in Portland The problem as
stated by the Montana District
Council of Lumber and Sawmill
Workers is: "A demand of not less
than 20 cents per hour increase in
wages and to establish minimum
wage of not less than $1.10 per
hour, all increases necessary to es-
tablish $l.l0 per hour minimum
wage to be applied across the
board

]. Neils Lumber Company today
issued statement regarding the
current strike Of the Lumber and
SaWmill Workers Union in the Lib
by plant This strike is called by
the Union upon an issue which has
never been negotiated between our
employees and the Company, said
Mr.. Walter Neils.
THE only issue raised by the
Union and given as the basis for the
strike by Mr. Kenneth Davis, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the Northwest
Council was that the entire indus
try Of the four northwestern states
must engage in industry wide ne
gotiations in Portland, Ore.
The Northwest Council in state
ments to the United Press and As
sociated Press have stated that the
employers, including the j. Neils
Lumber Company, have refused to
negotiate with the Union on wage
demands. This statement is not
true as regards our Company. On
July IL, 1945 the officials of the
Company met with the Union Com
mittee and negotiated regarding the
wage demands of the Union
The j. Neils Lumber Company
stands ready and willing to con-
tinue negotiations with our employ
ees on the same conditions as have
existed between this Company and
Local Nos. 1881 and 1862 since the
organization Of the Union in our
plant"
Mr.. George Neils reported that
there is grave danger Of an extend
ed shut down throughout the win
ter if the present strike is pro-
longed. Mr.. Neils states that the
strike has interrupted the building
of the logging reads which must be
constructed before the Company
can launch winter logging. Should
the strike be prolonged into the
freezing weather it is quite likely
that the potential of securing logs
for a winter operation will be de-
stroyed.

Jimmy Dorsey In Bridgeport

Jimmy Dorsey, whose contrast ing Music" comes to the Ritz ball. room in Bridgeport on Sunday, Mo- vember 11th, is regarded by musi- clans both popular and classical as the worlds greatest saxophonist. When Toscannini added & saxo- phone to his NEG Symphony or. chestra for one of his recent broad casts, Jimmy Dorsey's absence from New York on tour prevented music's greatest saxophone-playing maestro from making a guest appearance with the worlds greatest conductor.
 Featured with Jimmy's great or chestra is Dick Culver, vocalist. Jimmy was so impressed with his wond arful resonant baritone voice orchestra at once.
 Frank Wojnarowski and his or chestra will play polkas and modern music on Wednesday; the Irv Hintz Farmers feature square sets, Waltzes and modern tunes on Friday night and Saturday night Donny Rommel directs the Casa Ritz orchestra in the playing of sweet-swing.

Washington, June 8 UP - Civilians will get five per cent more meat in July than in June, the Of- flee of Price Administration dis closed today.
 But during the new July 1-28 ra- tioning period they must pay more points for margarine and canned fish.
 OPA raised points on margarine from l2 to IA per pound and on canned fish, currently worth from four to nine points, by two and three points.
 Most meats, butter and canned foods remained unchanged. So did lard, shortening, and oils which were increased from 10 to 12 points pound june IT. OPA added one and two points on seven fat pork cuts but in spite of the estimated five per cent in- crease in meat supply held points

 The agency lowered hard cheeses such as Cheddar and blue by four points. All changes are effective Sunday. The July hike in meat supply was said to. be due to the slash in army requirements and the seasonal in- crease in the movement of cattle to market.
 OPA also noted a slight but def mite improvement in distribution due to its new slaughter control program channeling more meat to federally- inspected plants and its fight against black markets.
