VANCOUVER, B. C., May l6.-- The strike of British Columbia log gers and sawmill workers, although only one day old. began today to affect other industries in the Pro- vince.

 Towboat men who pull the log bccms down the coast to mills have enough to keep them going until Tuesday but after that about l,200 in that industry will be idle.
 Meanwhile special dispatches from Ottawa to Vancouver newspa- pers quoted Federal Labor De- partment officials as saying they will take no action until they re- ceive the report of Chief Justice Gordon Sloan whose 11th hour ccnciliation attempts failed.
 Harold Pritchett, District Presi- dent of the International Wood- workers of America tCIO-CCL), said today that the camps are out solid" The IVA ordered the strike after failure to obtain a satisfactory working agreement with logging and sawmill operators. .

Price Vigil

HING ON, Sept. "a
! (LPA) - A pledge to keep a
continuous vigil on prices of
dairy products was made last
week by the Price Decontrol
Board at the end of hree-day
session at which they heard re-
ports from the dairy industry,
government agencies and con-
sumer representatives.
prices are reaching a critical
point" PDB Chairman Roy L.
Thompson asserted. This was
believed to confirm views pre-
sented to the Board by OPA's
Labor Policy Committee, under
the signatures of Boris Shishkin
for the AFL, Donald E. Mont
gomery for the CIO, and Jonas
A. Mcbride for the railroad la
Dor organizations.
The Labor Policy Committee
presented q brief to the PDB
pointing out that prices of milk
and milk products can be ex-
pected to rise sharply in coming
months because of the seasonal
drop in milk production with
the coming of colder weather.
The continued rise in butter
prices, they asserted, along with
the decrease in output, will re-
suit in higher prices for fluid
milk under the present program
of calculating prices admins
tered by the Agriculture Depart
ment.
The rise In prices of cheddar-
type cheese-from an average of
Alb cents in June to STA cents
in August-is viewed with spe-
cial concern by the labor COM
mittee. With the shortage of
meat expected to cont n u e,
families will turn
more and more to this type of
cheese as a meat substitute. If
the price rises much further, the
union spokesmen point out, 1t
will work a real hardship on
such families, and should be
considered an unreasonable"
price boost.

For Price


WASHINGTON, Sept. %
(LPA)-As the pinch of the
meat famine began to hit the
nations heavy workers and the
workers in the nearly shut down
meat packing plants, two AFL
union presidents last week de-
manded the removing of price
controls from meat.
United Mine Workers Presi-
dent John L Lewis telegraphed
the Price Decontrol Board that
miners cannot perform the la
borious and hazardous work of
producing the nations coal on
cereals and vegetables" He de-
manded the exemption of meat
from price regulation "in view
of grave unrest" in mining COM
Also demanding decontrol of
meat prices were President Earl
w. Jimerson and Secretary Pat
rick E. German of the Amalga-
mated Meat Packing and Butch
er Workmen-AFGL. Within a
period of two weeks time the
OPA has almost wrecked the
meat packing industry" they
stated.
Both AFL union presidents
were going counter to the de-
mands of the AFL as presented
to the Price Decontrol Board
and to OPA. The Labor Policy
Committee of OPA, on which an
AFL representative sits, present
ed a detailed brief to the De-
control Board last month urg-
.ng that price controls be re-
placed on meat.

Restaurants Fight
Meat Price Cut

/ WASHINGTON, Sept %
(LPA)-A well-organized cam
paign of protest from the res
taurant industry may smother
the OPA orGer rolling back res
taursnt meat prices to the June
30, 1946 level, labor officials
warned here last week.
After the OPA announcement,
spokesmen for the hotel and res
taurant industries descended on
Washington in force. Led by
men employed by Schrafft's tea
room chain in New York City,
and the high-price Statler Hotel
chain, they bombarded OPA
with claims that they would
have to either close up or 60
broke.
OPA officials pointed out,
first, that restaurants are now
enjoying their most prosperous
days in the history of the in
dustry. There are lines at every
restaurant door, OPA men re-
minded the protestants.
In addition, OPA has allowed
restaurant operators consider
ably higher profits on meat
items for the past three years
than they have allowed retail
meat stores. There was a roll
back in the retail prices of meat
in June, 1943, but restaurants
were not required to cut prices
for meat dishes at that time.
Any person who has eaten
meals out knows, the OPA Off
cials add, that restaurants have
been allowed to cut their por-
tions drastically during the war
period, without a corresponding
decrease in prices.
Commendation of the OPA ac-
ton came from the CIO Cost of
Living Committee, which urged
a vigorous enforcement program
by the price agency and re-
establishment of requirements
that restaurants post ceiling
prices.
