that there were only a few men| We held a very good meeting and
in camp, the rest of the crew had | discussed negotiations. The men

MAY 17, Kelly Spruce, Tea-
kerne Arm—Called in and held a!
meeting this afternoon. Ray

Ward is still Camp Secretary and
Dick Stuart is a new Job Stew-
ard.

The camp has its full crew now

that the camp had just closed
down. The last of the crew were
leaving by plane today.

Harvey Logging, Minstrel Is—
It seems that this outfit has a
hard time keeping its crew. We
wonder what the reason is? They
lost 11 men in three days. Even
with this big turnover, the camp
is still more than 75% organized.

We had a good meeting here
and the morale of the*men in re-
gards to negotiations is very.
good,

The following men are now on
the Committee: Jake Wines, Joe
O'Gorman, Stewart Murray and
Charlie Greene, They are going
to hold another meeting tomor-
row night to fill the vacancies in
their committees,

MAY 21, McCorkell Logging,
Thompson Sound —’ We held a
good meeting and had a good

ecutive: Vern Hudson, Bert Fox,
Tony Jellano, Joe Ross, Lorne

good case.

cers ands Committees at this

MAY 20, Minstrel Island—On
calling here for supplies we met
the cook from Port McNeil Log-
ging at Cutter Creek who told us

to the head of the class. Their
membership is 100% and the at-
tendance at the meeting was also
100%.

We had a very good meeting
and- discussion on negotiations
and the case presented by the
Union. The morale and the out-
look of the men in camp is ex-
cellent.

The following are the names |
of the men who are in the camp |
committee: Bob Milne, Len Pe:
cock, M. McMillan and John Lea-
vesque.

MAY> 23, Charles Creek Log-
ging, Kingcome Inlet — At the

This camp has only one set of
fallers and a road crew at pres-
ent. They are expecting an in-
crease in crew to about 50 men in
about two weeks’ time.

Garry Schnider is acting sec- |
retary till they hold. another
meeting and camp elections.

In closing we would like to get
the members straightened out on
one point that concerns Locai
1-71. The general belief seems to
be that there are quite a number
of camps shut down. This is not

so.
