Another factor too in the Union’s favour is

the Company’s pulp mill scheduled for com-
pletion next year which will also need logs.
__ While the Local is optimistic that it can win
its fight for better wages and working condi-
tions for the loggers, it is not overlooking the
possibility of concerted action by the forest
industry to defeat the Union.

strike has aroused a great deal of public interest in Kiti-
mat which, because of the Alcan plant, is a strong union
town.

Freer stated, ‘We have heard strong ru-
mours that MacMillan Bloedel intends to get
involved in this fight between the Union and
Eurocan by supplying logs with highway trucks
directly to Eurocan’s sawmill.

“We cannot legally picket MacMillan’s log-
ging operations or the sawmill which is not in
our jurisdiction, but | imagine that if these
rumours are true and MacMillan Bloedel does
try to break the Kitimat strike by these methods,
the reaction of its employees in other coastal
operations is predictable.

“The expression, ‘an injury to one is an in-
jury to all’ was never more true than it is in
this strike because if the loggers manning the
picket lines are beaten by strike breaking tac-
tics, all of us will lose with them.

“The strikers are sure that this will not be
allowed to happen.”
