shipyards of the Seattle district, voted
last night to extend financial support
to the workers in the wooden ship-
yards who are on strike against the
use of lumber produced in Washington
mills operating on a ten-hour basis.
Decision also was reached, it was said,
to declare a strike if members of the
Council are asked to handle ten~hour
labor.
According to ofllcers of the Council,
their action means that unless the gov-
ernment “succeeds in immediately
affecting the adoption of the eight-hour
day by the lumber operators, the ship
yards making steak vessels will be
closed within a week or ten days." By
but time. it was pointed out, the sup-
ply of labor produced in eight~hour
mills will have. been exhausted.
