Oroville, Calif.-The tiny town of Feather Falls, Calif., wracked by labor strife, bristled lvith guns as a result of what.management called a "union reign of terror," the United Press reported August 25. Bridges and roads owned by the Feather River Pine Mills were patrolled by armed guards. Lumber workers in the town of 700 carried guns and Sheriff Gillick put on I2 extra deputies. The mill itself was heavily guarded by armed men. William Gamble, general manager of the mills and the Feather River R. R., sent a telegram to the governor about the situation caused by "roving gangs of terrorists and thugs." The lumber workers were reported as thinking of forming a vigilantes committee.

Governor Goodwin J. Knight issued a press statement saying the matter was in the jurisdiction of local law enforcement and he had no word it was broken down.

The mill, now operated by nonunion workers, has been picketed since "June 1954 by the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union of America. A company-owned railroad was burned earlier in the month, cutting off supply and delivery between Feather Falls and here. The FBI entered the case immediately, a new bridge was started, and the union stepped up its supply of pickets with some "imports" and a sound truck.

On August 24, two truckers lvere the victims of thugs; an oil tanker driver was beaten after going through the picket line, and the home of a Sacramento trucker was bombed with $3000 damages. The company then moved its trucks under guard. Union officials denied any connection with the violence.

In his telegram to the governor, Gamble said:

"California has its roving gangs of terrorists who have taken us back to the Dark Ages. They terrorized the apple growers of Sebastopol, beat up the lumber workers at Burney and now have moved here. Who knows the next community on their list? How many decent people must be subjected to acid throwing, beatings, burnings and bombings before firm measures are taken to bring these thugs to justice and stop their reign of terror?"

Carpenters Union Asks Settlement

Luther A. Sizemore, international representative of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, also called on the governor, August 27, to resolve the Feather River Pine Mills labor battle, the United Press later reported. Calling the situation "tense," he asked Knight to contact top union officials and executives of the Georgia-Pacific Corp., mill owner, to suggest they make an "honorable settlement" of this "undesirable labor dispute."

Sizemore accused the mill employes of carrying guns but denied that "union people" were carrying guns. He said he has asked union headquarters to establish picket lines at all Georgia-Pacific lumber mills with union affiliations. This could result in a nationwide walkout against
