Similar raises were won by the Marine Independent Union SAWMILLS THREATENED s business agent for the striking sail- fors union here, today announced the AFL-lumber and sawmill work- ers had announced their willingness {to shut down the Northwest's lum- ber industry in support of the sail- ors’ demands for employer-approved wage increases And the lid was being clamped down even tighter on Pacific | Northwest waterfrents today as members of the AFL Sailors’ union of the Pacific renewed their pro- test of War Stabilization Board rulings against operator-approved wage boosts Picketing of foreign ships began in Columbia River harbors and in Seattle, Coester said “we're taking up any slack there might be in this tieup immediately.” John W. Massey, business agent for the Portland SUP local, said the port would be “closed tight” to all dry cargo craft. Tankers will continue to operate. Ci ster said the “tightenin will continue “until the wage agree~ ment we negotiated with the ship owners is approved.” Assurance of help in picketing, if necessary to augment AFL strength, came from Howard J. Bodine, business agent for CIO longshoremen in Portland. He said ILWU members took no offficial action but would be prepared for any situation Approximately 50 cargo craft ar tied up in the Portland area and some 29 lay in repair yards and drydeck A flood of name-calling, threats of more walkouts, and intensified picketing is adding to the confu- sion of the big maritime strike The CIO ational Maritime Union, which already has thrown in its lot with the AFL's demands for higher pay, W to meet in New York to discuss a possible strike beginning early tomorrow morning Enforcing the Federation’s pres- sure, maintenance crews which have been permitted to pass picket lines to strike-bound ships in Phil- adelphia, were barred today. A un- ion official says this is a direct re- sult of the Wage Stabilization Board's dogged refusal to give in on higher wages. WSB Statement Incidentally, the Board took pains to point out in its answer 1 night that it was not a questicn merely of opposing an extra five dollars 'a month for men on the West Coast and ten dollars for sca- men in the East. It emphasized that this moncy could +be paid b the operators without the Board's approval if the cost was not passed on to the gov- ernment or to the public in the form of higher shipping rates. The government owns most of the ves- sels in the merchant marine. The Boar pproval is required only if higher rates or higher gover ment costs are involved Under the circumstances, said th majority of the Beard, it was hard to see how the government could be blamed for the what the strike leaders continued to say today, with variations. Dicisica Denoun The Board's decision was de- nounced as a threat to the entire American labor movement. It was characterized as criminal and un- ion-busting. And the Board itself, whose chairman is 34-year-old W. Willard Wirtz, was described as senile. ! The maritime situation has shap- 'ed up as one of the toughest prob- ‘lpms ever to confront the govern- ment. And all eyes now are on President Truman and his right bower on labor matters, Reconver- J.»mn Director John R. Steelman.
