VANCOUVER
O)
The
Vancouver
Sun
publishes
a
special
dispatch
from
Ottawa
saying
the
Dominion
government
has
decided
to
take
over
British
Columbia's
box-making
plants
"almost
Immediately,"
place
controllers
:n
these
factories
and
order
the
men
back
to
work.
The
story
says:
"A
well-informed
source
said
today
that
the
.government,
convinced
of
the
food
emergency
created
at
home
and
abroad
by
lack
of
production
In
box-making
plants,
is
determined
-that
I.W.A.
leaders
must
'quit
falling'
and
union
mehbers
must
return
to
the
Industry
on
which
salvage
of
British
Columbia's
vitally
needed
crop
depends."
It
continues:
"Announcement
can
be
expected
almost
hourly
from
Arthur
McNam-ara,
deputy
minister
of
labor.
Taking
over
the
box-making
plants
may
be
a
prelude
to
further
moves
which
might
result
in
action
In

with
sawmills."
Another
dispatch
says
that
the
appointment

Gordon
Bell
of

The

which
paralyzed
the
British

timber
industry
for
over

is
not
yet
over
although
loggers
and
sawmill
workers
have
offered
to
return
to
their

Last
night
the
International
Woodworkers
of

Council
recommended
that
the
strike
be
called
off
on
the
basis
of
tne
report
of
Chief
Justice
Gordon
Sloan
providing
the
federal
government
authorized
a
membership
referendum
ona

clause
In
a
new
contract.
The
Sloan
proposals
had
previously
been
accepted
by
the
operators
but
rejected
by
the
union.
The
operators
later
announced
refusal
to
ccept
the

vote
Idea
Insisting
on
the
voluntary

as
recommended
by
Chle'f
Justice
Sloan.
The
operators,
In
turning
down
the

proposal,
demanded
the
full
acceptance
of
'
the
Sloan
proposal
and
analn

upon

It
was
In
the
Interests
of
the

and

of
the
country
that
the

should
terminate.
The
reservation
on

report
called

would
provide

of

after

became
effective.
The

would
not
apply
to

now
in
the
industry.
The
I.W.A.
statement
emphasized
that
workers
would
not
return
to
their
jobs
until,
the
operators
agreed
to
accept
the
ref

if
authorized
by
the

the

through
