Scope and content
W.L. Bundy pulled the whistle cord on Monday morning, August 5, 1935, at the St. Paul and Tacoma mill sending returning lumber mill employees back to work after the settlement of a 13 week walk out. By a vote of 1,391 to 97 the members of the Tacoma local Sawmill and Timber Workers' Union accepted the terms offered by the 22 Tacoma mills affected by the strike. The terms of the agreement included a 40 hour work week, an 8 hour day and time and one-half for overtime. (T.Times 8/5/1935, pg. 1)
