MONTREAL, Que. The National
Council of the National Maritime Union,
CIO, representing 65,000 seamen, last
week sent a message of “solidarity and
support” to the Canadian Seamen’s Union
in its struggle against the internment of
President J. A. Sullivan without charges
or trial under the Defence of Canada
Regulations. The resolution deplored
“such fascist destruction of civil liberties
as is reflected in the internment.”

ALGOMA, N.B—Members of the Al-
koma Steelworkers’ Union were awaiting
the report of the conciliation board this
week conéerning their claims for higher
wages and improved working conditions.
Confidence was expressed that the cap-
able manner in which the committee
under President Ivan Campbell presented

_ the case to the board would be reflected

in the board's findings.

BRANFORD, Conn.—The plant of the
Malleable Iron Fitting Company was shut
down by a strike of 600 workers recently.
The walkout was called by the Steel
Workers’ Organizing Committee, CIO,
when the firm refused to increase wages.

NEWARK, N.J.—An i1-month strike
and consumer campaign against the L. E.
Waterman Company recently forced the
big fountain pen firm to sign an agree-
ment with Local 134, United Rubber
Workers, CIO.

The company agreed to reinstate 190
locked-out workei's and to fire all scabs
and strikebreakers. Other terms included
a closed shop, the union hiring hall, paid
varations, wage adjustments and sen!-
ority rights for the 350 workers. The ex-
isting weekly minimum is $18, As part
of the settlement, the union dropped its
charges with the Labor Board.

SALT LAKE CITY.—Locals of metal
miners and smelter workers accepted by
a vote of 2,283 to 714 the new state-wide
agreement of the International Union of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, CIO,
bringing $385,000 annual wage increases
and a week's paid vacation to 5,000 men
employed by 13 companies.

Electricity consumers in Penn Yan,
N.Y., will enjoy the novelty of- getting
2 receipt instead of a bill for the amount
of current they used in July.

Reason is that the electric plant is
municipally-owned and operated and is
doing so well that the municipal board
takes this Way of paying dividends on
plant earnings, This is the tenth time
since 1980, that the 2275 residents have
had a month’s electricity free.

Company Bows To IWA Power;
Grants 10 Points, Wage Raises

KLAMATH FALLS, ore. — after 719
days of strike, the loggers of the Lamm
operations, in, whose hands rested the
fate of IWA progress in this area, re-
turned to work victorious.

The strike of the Lamm loggers was
one of the most important struggles car-
ried on wjthin the International union
for some time. Backing the Lamm op-
erators was the powerful employer or-
ganization, the Western Pine Associa-
tion which made a “test case” of the
strike.

The victory of the Lamm loggers as-
sures the continued “wildfire” growth of
the IWA in the Klamath Basin. The in-
dustrial democratic unionism of the CIO
is here to stay.

The points won by the strikers in-
clude:

(4) Reinstatement of Roe Roberts, fired
after the strike was called, with full
seniority.

(2) Company to furnish tools and filer
for fallers,

(3) Log loader operators to be paid
$1.50 an hour. Woodbucks to be furnished
power saw. Log truck drivers to be paid
80c per hour. Water truck driver to be
paid 75c an hour with first chance as
log truck drivers in case of opening,

(4) No restrictions on water usage.
Camp to be brought up to and kept at
State Sanitary Board requirements. Each
family to have private toilets.

(5) Free sale of merchandise at camp.
(Heretofore residents of camp were
forced to buy from one peddler).

(6) Company agrees to recognize prin:
ciple of seniority,

(1) Promotion to be in range of ability
and qualifications. (Union gives recom-
mendations on promotion).

(8) All monthly men to be put on
hourly rate of pay. (Time-and-one-half
over eight hours in any one day or 42
hours in any one week).

(9) ‘The company will not discriminate
against any man for going on strike.

(10) The company to furnish mess hall
for union meetings.

Besides these concessions the company
has agreed to effectuate all promises
made since negotiations began with the
union last December. Among these are
new floors in bunkhouses, private lockers
in each bunkhouse, fly-proof lids for
toilets and repairing the water system.

COMFORT AND

He's leaving in the morning,
Away upon the ocean,
Shipping on a steamer—
A steamer, the “Chelohsin.”

Swinging up the gangplank,
Leaving town once more —

And he'll be feeling better
Just to reach that logging shore.

For he’s out to make another stake,
Just for another blow;

So he's going back to the timber
And lay the big trees low.

Now he’s a hi-ball faller,
And fast an axe can swing,
And stand upon a springboard
And make the long saw sing.

He’s working on a contract,
And makes his money fast;

But once again when he’s in town
It doesn’t seem to last.

Perhaps he has a girl,
And she's his only rose;

And so he spends his hard-earned cash
And dolls her up in clothes.

Or maybe he likes liquor
And drinks his money fast;
For once when he starts rolling
‘The bankroll long won't last.

‘Then when he’s spent it all
Once more he makes his way
Out to the tall timber‘
For another dismal stay.

And sure as winter's gone
And again has come the spring,
You'll find him in the timber
Making the long saw sing.
