SEATTLE, June 3.—The general Pacific Northwest lumber strike seemed to be approaching & fork in the road today—one trall leading back to the mills and the other to a strikers’ conferencé and election at Aberdeen, While the awing to work was in- creasing in the Longview and Port- land districta, the decision of the Northwest Shingle Workers’ Union Council at Port Angeles to continue the strike and & threat of increased pleket lines at Aberdeen dulled some- what the outlook for an early termi- n of the industry’s troubles. Steam was up in mills at Portland and Longview, and approximately 3,000 men were returning to work in the huge Weyerhaeuser and Longbell mills at Longview. A total of 1500 furniture_workers were going back to work in Portiand. Officials of the Everett (Wash.) Saw Mill and Timber Workers' Union sounded a gloomy note in saying they were convinced a majority of the strikers were diasatisfied with the “Longview settlement” of 50 cents an hour (a S-cent increase) and a 40-hour week. ‘The strike has drawn nearly 40,000 | men trom mills and logging camps in Oregon.
