TIMBER WORKERS TO GO ON STRIKE MAY 1

Menominee, Mich., April Paper mills, lumber mills and all other wood working manufacturing Slants of the nation will suffer on [ay 4 when many thousand timber workers of all kinds throughout the upper peninsula of Michigan go on strike for eight hours work and ten hours pay. This is the greatest timber producing section in the United States so that when the strike breaks the paper shortage as well as all other products depend* ing upon wood will be greatly augmented. Employers assert that they are showing fight by shipping out more lumber than has ever been known here. Great lumber piles which have not been depleted for fifty years today stand nearly empty.
