The Pottsville Water Company announced its. supply was dwindling, but took no restrictive action.

The public won't to for new PAID BACK BY BRUCE CATTON XEA Service Stall Corremondent WASHINGTON. One of the most unusual "company union" cases the National Labor Relations Board has ever tangled with is moving toward its conclusion, with a group oi west coast lumber companies drawing up brjefs and preparing oral arguments against a sweeping decision just handed down by the board. Under the procedure oeing followed, a final order, putting the decision into effect, may not be issued until these briefs and arguments have been presented. In this case, a union claiming members in a number of different states and employed by several different companies is held to be an "employer dominated" organization of the company union type. Three lumber companies are ordered to break off relations with this union, to ignore all provisions of contracts signed with it, and to reimburse their employes for dues paid into the union treasury via the check off since July 5, 1935.

A trade association of lumber firms is also ordered to ignore provisions of any contracts it may have signed with the union. The union involved is the Industrial Employes Union, which claims some 12,000 members in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and adjoining states. It is an outgrowth of a World War "solidarity" organization, sponsored by the War Department in 1917 and 1918 as a means of combatting "wobbly" sentiment in the west coast lumber camps and insuring fulfillment of the department's war supply program. According to the Labor Board's record, the organization was originally formed under War Department control under the name of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen. During the war, both employers and employes had to belong to it; at its peak, it numbered 75,000 members.

In Remette, Remington Engineers have skillfully combined utility and sturdineM. It will last for many years! Remette has 84 characters, 4 row standard keyboard, carriage return lever, carriage release lever, shift lock, and many other big machine features.

When the War Department withdrew from the scene after the armistice, its members decided to keep it alive and, in the fall of 1919, it was incorporated under the laws of Oregon. The Loyal Legion continued to exist until April, 1937. Its board of directors was made up equally of employer and employe representatives. It received dues of 25 cents a month from employe members; employers paid 25 cents a month for each of their employes who were members. It functioned to adjust wage and hour scales, handle grievances, and, in general, conduct labor relations in various lumber camps and mills.

When the Supreme Court upheld the Wagner Act, the legion's board of directors met and voted to change it into a strictly employe organization. The Industrial Employes' Union was set up to' take its place and the employers withdrew, forming the Willamette Valley Lumber Operators' Association. The association signed contracts with the union; so did three lumber companies the McOoldrick Lumber Co. of Spokane, the D. Johnson TLumber Corporation of Portland; and Potlatch Forests, of Lewiston, Idaho.

Dues wfe'icollected via the check offifTS sorae cases membership in the union was made a condition of employment, and in others it was strongly urged by the employers. Into this situation entered an old line A. F. of L. union, the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union.

After various collisions, this union filed charges with the Labor Board. A series of hearings followed, and the order referred to was the result. In Portland, A. D. Chisholm, president of the Industrial Employes' Union, declares his union is a perfectly valid bargaining agency as defined in the Wagner Act, and announces it will ignore the board's order.
