Fadling, IWA Pres.
Says Strike Legal
KETCHIKAN, — (^) -^J. E.
Fadling, international president of
the CIO International Woodwork
ers of America arrived yesterday
from Portland in connection with
a dispute between local 232 of
the union and the Juneau Spruce
Corporation.
The dispute has halted opera
tions at Edna Bay logging camp

Fadling asserted that a strike
to gain recognition is legal. He
met with members of the union
this afternoon and said he may
go to Juneau later this week to
meet with Hawkins.

relations official of the Coos Bay
Lumber Company of Oregon was
