LUM BER WORKER May 26, 1939 At the Loggers’ Ss Ball” by ROVING REPORTER "Y muscles are weary, my joints are all sore; My long-suffering feet just won't track any more; I lope like a crab when I move o’er the floor— T've been to the Woodworkers’ dance! SAW H. Pritchett doing jitterbug stuff. (I never thought he had ambition enough), His action was fast—if it was somewhat rough— ‘When he danced at the Woodworkers’ dance, I SAW Nigel Morgan of large girth and beam Discover the Hambo is not what it seems— He sneaked off the floor with that gold tooth agleam, As I watched at the Woodworkers’ dance! + SAW Ernie Dalskog’s immovable grin— If he’d worn a meter made fast to his chin We'd all be amazed at the beers he chucked in When he went to the Woodworkers’ dance, UR Reporter? Well, time hasn’t seemed to improve The lines of my figure—I shake when I move; Tve got so blamed fat I can’t get in the groove When I go to a Woodworkers’ dance, ‘ND did we have fun? Well, I'm crippled and weary, My pulse is quite feeble, my vision is bleary; But next fourth of July I'll be there bright and cheery, To see the next woodworkers’ dance. | ae use foundation garments and girdles and straps— Til get a long belt and take two extra wraps; And I, if it kills me, will make a few laps When the Woodworkers throw the next dance!

One cold-decker with a skelton crew on the A-frame (sky-lining). Approximately 80 men employed. Wages: chokermen, $4.50; rigging slinger, $5.50; chaser, $5.05. Our reporter states that this is a fair camp as camps go. The grub is fair with lots of buttermilk thrown in at $1.20. The lunch table seems to be skimpy and runs heavy to California round steak. On the whole there is not much room for complaint when com- pared with some camps in this cate- gory along the coast. This one outfit that put their em- ployees on the “down” boat when they are leaving camp, contrary to the prac- tice of some camps in the same vicin- ity.

[COURTENAY HOTEL COURTENAY, V.L * Recognized as Headquarters for Loggers GTATER - - PROP. Loggers’ Navy ‘Steams On’ the navy has covered a lot of territory. Visiting camps in Seymour Inlet, includ- ing Maigrot's, Dumareq’s, Ashley's and Zoney's. After leaving there the next camp visited was that of the Kelly Log- ging Company, Queen Charlotte Islands. In all these camps the reception was good and many new members were en- rolled into Local 1-71. In contrast to the camps of the Pioreer Logging Co. and the Wood & English Logging Co., mentioned in the last Bulletin the wages paid in the camps mentioned in the above paragraph are from 10 to 15 per cent higher and in some brackets the differ- ence is even greater, This does not mean that the wages are the highest on the Coast, for there are other camps, pat- ticularly on Vancouver Island, where the difference is as great again, Thus, we have a variety of wage scales which could be eliminated by or- ganizations on .the part of the workers effected. In regards to conditions these were found to vary in the last camps visited, but on the whole they compare favorably with the accepted standard. Our next move will be into Morgan's and Allison’s which will be reported on next communication. Eric Graff Memorial It is the intentions of the council with the help of fellow-workers of the late Bro, Eric Graff to place a memorial plaque on his grave. However, there is still a bill of $57.82 to be met before the funeral expenses are cleared, and we hope that soon all pledges made will be filled and that the necessary funds for the securing of a suitable plaque will be forthcoming.
