“LUMBER TIEUP

Tacoma Sawmill Operators Submit Peace Proposal Which Lifts “Wages.

SEATTLE, Dec. 11 (U. P.).—The A. P. of L. lumber and sawmill workers’ union at a mass meeting late today votes on a peace proposal submitted by Tacoma sawmill operators in an effort to end the labor tieup of the Northwest lumber industry. It was believed the proposal was patterned after the “Portland plan,” suggested by Federal Conciliator Ernest Marsh, which provides a 5-cent hourly basic wage increase to 67% cents an hour and a week’s annual vacation with pay, followed by industry-wide survey of wages and conditions. Workers in Everett were understood to be balloting on the same proposal. Only those mills struck| last Sept. 30 are affected in today’s balloting. Meanwhile, a survey of the ‘Northwest showed the following atrike conditions: Closed by the A. F* of L.—Twenty mills at Tacoma, three mills and four logging camps in the Puget Sound area, six mills at Everett, Ore.; two mills at Warrenton, Ore., and one mill at Prescott. : Closed by the C. I O. International Woodworkers = Association—One mill at Portland and several logging camps. Struck but since reopened under court injunction are 11 mills in Seattle with which the A. F. of L. had contracts. In all, more than 14,000 men in Oregon and Washington are striking. The industry-wide demand is for a T%-cent hourly wage increase, bringing the base scale to 70 cents an hour, and a week’ s vacation with pay.
