Labor strife ends with mill workers back to work
In Portland and at Grider’s campsite, a strike settlement resumes production. Mill owners pledge minimum wages of two dollars per day for ten hours and maintain current pay until April. Special rules cover workers stepping up to tougher tasks and non-discrimination for union members. In Grant’s Pass a Gold Hill farmer found gold quartz pockets worth up to 150 dollars each, possibly from a 60 year old pocket. Grider fights a bear in a cave, survives with injuries after a knife strike.
