Unions Urge Housing
Program To Improve
Home Lumber Markets

A giant housing scheme to bol-
ster British Columbia's dwind-
ling lumber markets was pro-
posed Friday by union leaders,

The proposal came as the mul-

faced with strikes and layoff of
workers because of over-product-

mn.

Following scattered layoffs in
recent weeks, 500 men were laid
off in the’ big mills of MacMillan
and Bloedel Limited, one of the
largest producers of’ plywood in
Canada,
