AERO MEN 100% IWA The Editor: Regarding the story published in the March 19th issue of the B.C. Lumber Worker, on the fir- ing of the Hooker at Aero Camp. We believe the action taken was justified as the hooker did not understand his job and so imperiled the safety of his crew. A new position was offered to him which he refused. This left the company n6 other alternative than to advance his return fare. Aero Camp is now almost 100 percent Union. The only diffi- culty is to get the members to attend the monthly meetings. The camp Grievance Commit- tee had a talk recently with My. Bell and camp conditions are steadily improving, Thanks for this are due to the Job Stewards who are on the job signing up prospective new members. This is about all for now, the cookhouse seems to have a short- age of help, but perhaps this will be remedied shortly. We hope to have news of tthe camp’s Safety Committee in the next letter.

LINDEN, 115 W. Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C. LOW-DOWN The Edito I don’t write very often to The Lumber Worker but thought I would give you the low-down on this outfit, As you all know, Panicky Bill is Superintendent here. and the name speaks for itself. He has been around for years but not as Camp Supt. What I want to say is he has a very bad manner in handling men. All he knows is “you so and BO. ees Another bad point about Bell is everyone gets into a jackpot. It doesn’t matter how good a man you are but if you go to Bell and tell him, all you’ get is a lot of yapping instead of cooperation. He keeps everyone riled yp, so when he has a big train wreck everyone says “good”, The woods foreman here is a good, sensible man and a good logger, but he gets no coopera- tion, Neither does anyone else. This yapping gets men down and hollering and roaring all the time. I thought some of those fore- men went to school to learn how to handle men. If this is okay to put in the paper, put it in and I hope our Union paper gets more Camp letetrs, Union Member, Kelly Logging Co.
