The article focuses on the technique of the employers in breaking the Pacific Northwest lumber strike. According to the author the lumber operators made two significant advances, they managed early in the struggle to get the use of the state police and the National Guard, and they successfully cultivated the cooperation of the old-line union officials in breaking the rank-and-file movement. The operators agreed to collective bargaining with their own employees only on condition that the union be reorganized on the basis of plant locals. The greatest benefit derived from the strike has been the education of the rank and file of the workers.
