M. Billings, Manager “of Forest Industrial Relations, published a letter in Forest and Mill, commenting on this ar- licle and tried to localize the issue to those companies who Fallers and Buckers for the wage cuts they haye suffered, It is an example of what would happen to any group of work- ers who attempt to stand alone against the organized em- were violating the Agreement on the matter of Existing Daily Rates. While he admitted that at least seven companies were vio- lating the Agreement in this regard, he attempted to mini- mize the extent of Contract yielation and the amount of -money involved and also local- ized the dispute to this par- ticular point. When we consider the Fall- ers’ and Buckers’ problems generally, which includes the chiselling on Contract Prices since 1952, we find that Fallers and Buckers have lost many thousands of dollars, and it is only unfortunate that a Con- tract provision similar’ to that in this year’s negotiations was not written into’ the agreement at least two years sooner, We place no discredit on the ployers and try and bargain on an indiyidual basis. Agreement has not as yet been reached at this date on. the preservation of that amount which constitutes bonus for fin- ishing quarters, and it involyes several of the large companies. Also there are two large com- panies who in my opinion are attempting to welch on the Contract Settlement in regards to rates paid within the 11- month period mentioned in the Contract Settlement. In addi- tion to this, there are those companies who have violated ” the Agreement on the matter of Existing Daily Rates. These points certainly involve more than a few sets of Fallers, in fact it concerns and affects nearly every set of Fallers on the Coast.” ¥ You cut more wood Ask any logger across _ North America . he'll tell you I.E.L.
