Workers Approve
Wage Agreement
The 1944-45 Wage Agreement
covering 33 pulp and paper plants
in Oregon, Washington and Cali-
fornia has been overwhelmingly
approved by a referedum vote of
union locals, results of which
were tabulated in Portland. The
vote was seven to one in favor of
the contract changes. This will
be the tenth successive contract
signed between the Pacific Coast
Association of Pulp and Paper
Manufacturers and the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Pulp Sul-
phite and Paper Mill Workers and
the International Brotherhood of
Paper Makers. Fifteen thousand
organized workers are covered by
the agrement.
' Manufacturers will now join
the unions in requesting approval
of the wage changes by the V.'ar«
Labor Board. I
‘ Major contract changes are:
A night shift differential of 21/;
cents an hour additional to the}
job rate and a second week’s;
annual vacation with pay to em-
ployees who have worked five
years without interruption andl
who have fulfilled qualifications
{of hours worked in five succes-
;sive years. The one week's vaca-l
:tion with pay to employees who
have qualified by hours workedl
in single years up to five, Will be
continued. Agreement was reach-
ed also on a liberalization of the
vacation qualifications for em-
ployees now in military service
when they return to work.
The manufacturers, who repre-
sent 33 coast pulp and paper mills,
agreed to a joint committee to.
study insurance and retirement
plans which the union had re-
quested be financed by the manu- l
facturers. Health transfers were
agreed to where practical.
Rayonier Incorporated is includ-
ed among the manufacturers sign- ;
ing the agreement.

flower, Calif.) went back into the
black bomb bay and with nothing
between him and the seas but the
narrow catwalk loosed the bombs
with a screwdriver.
Battered by Storm
“As we turned away we found
ourselves in the worst kind of
Weather possible. We dodged
about through giant thunderheads
and through fronts that buffeted
our ship like a feather in a wind
tunnel.
“We flew until dawn on our
meager instruments. The engineer
(S/Sgt. James J. Fitzpatrick, Jr.,
of Pittsburgh, Pa.) worked the
whole time on the electrical sys-
tem. And when the morning sun
broke through the clouds We still
were over water. We had dodged
about so much that the navigator
(Second Lieut. Paul Sohen of New
York City)
course. We were lost.
The weather was still bad and
we flew into another front, mak-
ing it impossible to fix our posi-
tion by the sun. But the engineer
had done a marvelous job. After
working many hours he finally
got the electrical system work-
ing again and we radioed to
friendly bases to find our posi-
tion.
“Finally we received an answer.
We learned that we had missed
our home base by miles, had flown
past it in the heavy weather. By
that time We were about out of
gas. We were half way between
friendly bases and our own home
base, so we decided to try for
home.
“Before the last few gallons
of gas were used up we knew we
had to land in the water and hope
for rescue.
“I was in the front of the ship
with Lieut. Case and Sgt. Fitz-
gerald and Lieut. Cohen. The rest
of the men went back to the
waist and fixed themselves se-
curely, using chutes and flak suits
land anything else for cushion
against the shock to come.
Into the Sea
“When we finally hit the water
after what seemed to me to be
an age of skimming along the
tops of the waves, the plane prac-
tically dived under the water. The
whole ship went under, slowing
down with a mighty jolt, and then
it came up to the surface again.
“Sgt. Fitzgerald did a marvel-
ous job. The co-pilot and I got
out through the side windows in
Ithe cockpit. The engineer, Fitz-
gerald doesn’t have the slightest
idea how he escaped. He can‘t re-
member anything but suddenly
finding himself bobbing about in
the water. He immediately swam
to the plane and pulled out one
of the life rafts.
“Cohen had escaped through the
bomb bay and came up under the
wing. He swam under water the
length of the wing before com-
ing up. He had a. small gash on
the top of his head. The engineer
inflated the raft and paddled ar-
ound to pick us up. When he got
to Case, who was hanging on the
wing close to me he discovered
that the co-pilot had a broken
leg and he had to work gently to
drag him into the small craft.
“At 10:30 in the morning some
of us were in the raft and the
rest—all but three of whom we
never saw after the landingwwere
hanging on the still floating wing.
A friendly destroyer, cruising in
the vicinity came close by only
a few minutes after we landed.
Lauds Navy Men
“They "sent a small boat to pick
us up. Those navy guys really
were wonderful. They handled the
injured co-pilot like a baby. The
radio operator (Sgt. Samuel A.
Klock of Oil City, Pa.) had a
painfully dislocated hip.
“The rest of us were all right,
except for bruises and minor cuts.
There was a. doctor aboard the
destroyer who went to work on
the injured men the minute we
were on the ship. Then we pulled
along side another destroyer and
her doctor came to aid.
“Later in the day We were
transferred to another destroyer
on its way to an advanced base
and from there those of us who
were well enough including an-
other gunner (Sgt. Warren R.
Melcum, of Shelton) were return-
ed to our home base."
Lieut. Rauch, known among his
friends in the squadron as one of
the most eager young pilots in
the outfit, was asked if he needed
a rest after his harrowing exper-
ience. He turned down the offer.

CONVICTIONS AT THE
PRIMARIES JULY 11
Now everyone, interested in our
local, state and national govern-
ment, has registered for the pri-
maries we can expect more inter-
est in the coming elections.
Although figures have not been
made available, it Lis hoped the
results are gratifying to those
who were interested in getting
people to register and to those
who registered.
There are subjects of interest to
every locality to be discussed and
voted upon such as school prob-
lems, port problems, taxes, high-
ways and the question of small
business individually owned and
operated as well as the safe-
guarding of larger businesses and
I payrolls.
