Aberdeen, Wash. - The Grays-Willipa Harbors District Council of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union has announced it will proceed with court action to quash the temporary injunction issued against it in the McCleary strike.
The injunction was secured by the mill operators in McCleary to restrain the union from maintaining a picket line.

Firm Found Guilty
Washington, Dec 27 - Charges of anti-labor practices filed by the International Woodworkers of America against the Henry McCleary Timber Company in the state of Washington have been upheld by the National Labor Relations Board.
The Company was ordered to bargain with the IWA as sole union representative for the production employees at its sawmill in Shelton, Wash., and to sign a written agreement embodying any understandings reached with the union. Two employees fired last March for union activity were ordered reinstated with back pay.
Old Growth Fir Properties LLC
"Question: When did you form Old Growth Fir Properties LLC?
Maurer: We actually formed that company in order to purchase this building. It’s very difficult to get a loan on a commercial property, and commercial properties are valued by how they perform as a business. There weren’t records for this as a business and so it was very difficult to purchase the building."
Martial Law
"In McCleary, Washington, a lumber town where workers are on strike against low wages, long hours and industrial serfdom, martial law prevails. The strikers' wives and families have been gassed and beaten by the cossaks of the state."
