During the enforced lull in or-
ganization activity due to the dry
weather conditions, the Loggers’
Navy has been on the ways for
copper painting of the hull. The
upper structure now appears in
the new and popular colors of
green and gold, giving the IWA
cruiser a more attractive appear-
ance.

Neglected Injuries

Report received from the com-
mittee at_Aero Camp, Kelley
Logging Co., Queen Charlotte
Islands, alleging neglect of an
injured logger is being investi-
gated by Local 1-71.

It is claimed that a young log-
ger received a severe knee injury
on July 2nd. As the first aid man
was on vacation, he remained in
camp for almost a week, when he
was given a few days’ treatment

‘Loggers’ Navy’ Readied For Duty

in hospital at Queen Charlotte
City.

Although not completely re-
covered, he was returned to camp
to recuperate. The disablement
persisted, however, and prevent-
ed him from working. ‘

The camp committee reported
that he was confined to the bunk-
house and was compelled to rely

on fellow-workers to bring him |

food from the cookhouse and at-
tend to his wants.

He was allowed to remain in
this plight, it is stated, until sey-
eral weeks later, when he was re-
moved to Vancouver for further
treatment.

Local Union officials state that
if the facts are verified, appro-
priate action will be taken to
prevent recurrence of any such
neglect of injured loggers.

tough roasts since | got these WATSON'S GLOVES!”
