As the sweltering heat of a Portland summer subsided, over 26,000 unionized lumber workers streamed back to their jobs, following a tumultuous showdown with industry leaders. The battle for control of the lumber yards had raged on for weeks, with union leaders Kenneth M. Davis and his team fighting for fair wages and working conditions. The union’s executive secretary, Davis, hailed the return to work as a major victory, with all 26,000 AFL members expected to be back on the job by Thursday.
