Lumber Official Tells of Russian Logging Methods
Hector C. Stone of Duncan British Columbia spoke at the 19th annual Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Committee meeting in Seattle. He described Russian logging, sawing, and plywood operations seen on a 1958 tour, noting limited mechanization, long northern workdays, and 75 percent female workers in some camps. The Soviet timber ministry employs 650,000, with 2,000 boat operators, and unions influence conditions though wages are not negotiated. Following the meeting, officers were elected for the Lumbermen's committee with William M. Black and Richard W. Middleton named to the executive, and long-time officers re-elected including Judd Greenman as president and Henry Dennis as vice president.
