200 Mill Workers
Strike in Row Over
Stalled Contract

About 200 mill workers failed
to report for work in Washing
ton architectural woodworking
mills this morning in a protest
over stalled contract negotia-
tons.
The workers. members of Local
1894 of the Carpenters Union,
AFL, have been seeking a 10
centS-an-hour wage raise. The
current scale is $2.10 an hour for
journeymen and 1920 an hour
for layout men.
A union spokesman said he
could not say how long the strike
will last.
Ray Simm of the Washington
Woodworking Co.. Inc, a member
OF the Negotiating Committee
representing mill owners. said
the strike will slow up delivery of
interior finish woodwork for
commercial and private con-
struction jobs here. If it lasts
long enough it could seriously
hamper building activity, he
added.
Mr.. Simm said the employers
have been hurt by competition
from mills outside this area
where wages are much lower
than those paid here.
