Abstract: A smooth, proper family of curves creates a monodromy action of the fundamental group of the base on the $\textrm {H}^1$ of a fibre. The geometric condition of T. Saito for the action of the wild inertia of a boundary point to be trivial is transformed to the condition of logarithmic smooth reduction. The proof emphasizes methods and results from logarithmic geometry. It applies to quasi-projective smooth curves with étale boundary divisor.
