Lumber Accord Predicted PORTLAND (AP) Agreement between the two big lumber unions and an employer group representing some "40,000 workers was predicted late Monday by the employers. 'There should be a settlement reached before the end of the week," one of them was quoted as saying. If borne out it would be a sharp reversal of the view held generally last week that a strike was likely throughout the industry in Oregon, Washington, Northern California and some plants in Idaho, Montana and Alaska. The group said to be nearing agreement was the Timber Operators Council which represents more than 200 small to medium companies. Still engaged in talks on which progress has not been hinted are large companies.

The Timber Operators Council fas said without confirmation to have made an offer in the area of $1.10 an hour increase over three years, breaking down to 30 cents an hour this year and an additional per cent in each of the next two years, plus various fringe changes. The unions--the International Woodworkers of America and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers-had set a goal of 50 cents an hour this year and 8 per cent additional the next two years. Their members authorized their negotiators to call a strike if needed. The so-called Big Four--Wey erhauser, Rayonier, tional Paper and Crown Zeller- back-are in contract talks with the unions today. Georgia-Pacific and U.S.

Plywood, which negotiate independently, were said to have made last week offers similar to that reported made by Timber Operators Council.

An investigation into locations of poison hemlock growth will conducted Wednesday morning in Centralia, Public A'orks Commissioner Edward Conzatti said Tuesday. Conzatti said that Ralph Soffler, county extension agent, and City Engineer Oscar Olson rould make the inspection. AH poison hemlock found on city property will be disposed of, Conzatli said. Private property owners will be notified if the plants are growing on their land, he added.

The city of Centralia had been unaware of the growth of the deadly plants until publication For Poison Hemlock City Search Ordered ol a story in Monday's Daily Chronicle, Conzalti said. He added that city heads felt Roffler should have notified them as well as the newspaper in order to expedite timely removal of the noxious weeds. The greatest danger from poison hemlock comes when the large stalks die, Roffler said. Children sometimes pick up the hollow stalks to use as blowguns, getting poison into their mouths. The plant has a fern-like leaf which resembles the greenery of.a carrot.

The.seed stalks, which grow to heights of four to eight feet, have a white umbrella-type bloom. i emphasized that pulling or cutting plants is not enough. They will remain toxic even after they are dead jnd should be destroyed. If a human is poisoned by the weed, induce vomiting i i a and call a physician. Give the victim a tablespoon of salt in a glass of warm water and continue treatment until the vomit is clear.

Make the victim lie down and keep him warm and quiet until the doctor arrives, according to a Washington State University bulletin.
