Tonner Files or
State LEGISLATURE

MARTIN CITY-A nominating
petition was to be filed Thursday
for L. P. "Cy" Tonner, Martin City

Coming AF of L lumber and
Sawmill workers strike will have
less effect in this section of the
F1athead.
The AF of L union which seeks
1871 cents an hour wage increase
does not have bargaining agree
ments with Plum Creek, Superior
or Rocky Mountain mills in Col
umbia Falls, nor with mills in
Martin City and Coram. Hence
there will not be a strike for wage
increases at these operations. Plum
Creek granted a cent wage in
crease June /, Rocky Mountain, S
cents early this spring, and Super
ior an average of 5 to 10 cents.
The Stoltze mill at Half Moon
has the AT of L union as its en-
ployee bargaining agent. However
the Half Moon local has not yet
taken a strike vote.
Robert Weller, business represen-
tative of the lumber and sawmill
workers, Wednesday evening, COM
mented that status of the strike is
fluid as far as the Flathead and
Lincoln counties are concerned. He
felt that any prediction as to the
date of the strike starting was pre-
mature.
Locals at Bonner and Libby
have voted to strike for a wage
increase, and this is the situation
over much of the Pacific North
west. A July 20 date is being used.
A Kalispell news report has
Walter Neils, general manager of
the Neils operation at Libby, ex-
pecting start of the strike in July.
