How Lumber Looks

Settlement of the steam schooner strike was reached in San Francisco December 4 when the membership oI the Masters', Mates' and Pilots' union voted to accept a new contract, ending a two-month tieup of over 4O ships in the coastwise lumber trade. All of the five maritime unions employed on the steam schooners have sigled new agreements with the Shipowners Association, replacing those which expired on September 30. The strike began on October 4 when the Marine firemen walked out.

Striking workmen at 11 Tacoma sawmills on December 11 voted conditionally to accept a peace proposal put forth by Federal conciliators in an efiort to end a partial shutdown of the Pacific Northwest lumber industry. The mills closed September 30 when their AFL workers walked out. Final approval of the peace plan at the sawmills, horvever, was contingent upon extension of the proposal to four strike-bound logging operations at Morton and Mineral.

The Lumber and Sawmill 'Workers' Union (AFL) at Everett where seven mills have been closed voted to accept the proposal.

Two AFL operations in Warrenton, Ore., also reopened. The Federal conciliator's peace proposal included the following: (1) A 5 cent hourly wage increase instead of the 712 cent raise asked by the union; (2) A week's vacation with pay according to union deman'ds; (3) An economic survey of the Northwest lumber industry by the {ederal government upon which a sliding wage scale would be based.
