1862 met with the negotiating com
mittee of the J. Neils Lumber Co.

discussed. The company offered a
raise straight across the board of

The union accepted the company
offer on condition the same be-
come effective January l. The com
pany's response to this, was that
no other mills throughout the Mon

increase, therefore they did not
think it right to go back beyond

without a settlement being com
pleted.
