h v hove lost about $8,000,000 in
wages so far.
The effect on bus ness is less
easily figured Hor some
things that have happened as re
sult of the strike:
The California-Hawaii Sugar
company has laid off 800 employ
ees, representing a payroll of
$400,000 a month.
The Eldorado 0:1 co many dis
missed 125 men. The payroll was
I*'1 disclosed.
Some west coast lumber mills,
unable "o move their product, have
reduced operations.
And there appears to be no im
mediate prospect of ending the
strike. There have K'" no nego
tiations since Soph 1.
The waterfron‘ em ’oy-'rs asso
ciation says there are real eco
nomic issues involved.
It said the leadership of Harry
