Fallers Leave

Alaska Pine

An unsettled dispute over rates
for falling and bucking at Al-
aska Pine Logging camp, Powell
River, has resulted in most of the
fallers leaving camp. John Me-
Cuish, President IWA Local 1-71,
states that in his opinion, most
of the trouble was sponsored by
McKenzie Burton, bullbucker in
camp. He remembers when Bur-
ton was driven out of Bloedel &
Donovan’s camp in Washington
during the early ’20’s, by the
men. Brother McCuish has con-
tacted the company and has been
assured that a different attitude
will be taken in this camp im-
mediately.
