THE B.C.

OCI CREWS START
NEGOTIATIONS

Following on the decisions of a
mass meeting of Queen Charlotte
Island loggers held in the Hastings
Auditorium, Monday, Jan. 5, at 1
p.m., the work commenced last fall
in obtaining signed union agree-
ments for all Queen Charlotte
Island camps got under way this

week,
With all Kelley’s, Morgan’s, Carstairs’,

and Camp B-40 crews members of the
IWA, except for 15, and with a good
union crew already hired for the Allison
camp this spring, as a result of the éf-
forts of the IWA, prospects for the com-
ing season look favorable.

The Queen Charlotte Island loggers’
meeting selected delegates to see that:

1. Organization functions from the
time the crews hit camp,

2, Requested Local 1-71 to send the
Loggers’ Navy motor vessel “Annart”
back to the Queen Charlotte Islands by
the end of January.

8, Formulated a policy and outlined
proposals for carrying forward negotia-
tions to a successful conclusion, and

4, Endorsed the action of the annual
meeting of IWA Local 1-71 in lining up
a strong union crew for the Allison
camp.

The meeting also endorsed the IWA
program for increasing and stabilizing
Queen Charlotte Island log production
and for working for the establishment of
a Civilian Defense Corps. Following up
the decisions of the meeting, a delega-
tion composed of Brothers Dick Roche,
John Carlson, and Einar Eckman met
the Kelley management in Vancouver to
negotiate an agreement. Unable to reach
a satisfactory settlement at the first
meeting negotiations will be continued
and failing a falr settlement, the union
may be forced to go to arbitration as in
the case of the Lake Logging Company.

However, in view of the need for uninter-
rupted production for an all-out defense
program, every effort will be made by
the committee to reach a peaceful and
amicable understanding.

The boat fund needs $1500 more to

off on the loans, which will leave
only $800 on the mortgage to be paid

We urge that in camps where a
collection has not yet been taken
our members get busy and take one
among themselves and friends to
boost the boat fund over the top.

Poor Conditioms at
Bis Creek Log

Advice to cooks to stay away from
Don Jong’s Camp at Alert Bay was con-
tained in a report received from the
former cook recently. Hired out by the
camp superintendent, Harold Hender-
son, at Alert Bay, the writer reports no
water, no flunkey, wet wood, no hot
water for the bunkhouses, no sidewalks
around the cookhouse, and a bad fire
hazard. “About the only good thing that
can be said about the camp was that I
got everything I wanted to cook with,”
the report concluded,

What did one little bird say to another
while flying over the camp?

“Cheap, cheap!”

Protests Treatment
At Claydon Bay

Shortage of food at Earle & Brown's
Claydon Bay Camp was protested in a
recent report to the B.C. Lumber Worker.
According to teh statement, the last day
the workers received nothing but crack-
ers, tea and cake. He also pointed out
that the life preservers on the boat
are being carried in the engine room in-
stead of in a more accessible place. An-
other condition very unsatisfactory to
the members of the crew there, is the
compulsory deduction for War Savings
Certificates.
