Ha cited figurea from the eta
tiacal department of Ui Weat Coast
Lumbermen'! association and the
United Statea Forest aervice to
aubaiantiete Oregon'a claim aa the
biggest lumber producer of any
atate n thia country.
Baa of the nation's lumbering
activity haa moved from Washing
ton to th Columbia river area-
then aouth to central and southern
Oregon and northern California, be
aaid.
Output Gains Shewn
While most sections which for
merly produced the majority of
the nation's lumber are auffering
a decline, Crow cited the follow
ing production figurea, in board
feet, pertinent to th industry:
County 1925 IMS
Lane 215, 004, MO 1,311.000,000
Devglae .. 41X1,000 7M,0O0,OM
Jacks . e,00O,0 503,000,000
Linn 20,243,000 4(4,000,000
Although Douglas cam out sec
ond beat in total output, Crow aaid
thia county's increase of 010 per
cent over 1925 represented th
greatest growth of all.
Of the nation'a standing virgin
Umber, Douglaa county la rated
top 70,243,0(10.000 board feet or
27 percent of th atate'a Douglaa
fir stand. Thia county, together with
tju. Linn. Coos. Jackson. Jose
phin and Curry counties, holds 7a
percent oi in state a umocr, n
said
"You must keep in mind that th
lumber industry is a payroll indus
try," Crow declared, "and more
than fifty percent of the cost of pro
ducing lumber goes into payrolls
this effect every businessman."
Ha said wages in the industry had
increased bv 2S percent, making it
one of the heat paid large indus
tries in the country.
"You folks should b very
happy," Crow told his audience.
"Of the 1,675 fir aawmilla in the
Northwest, Oregon has 1.263 and
i these are gradually shifting aouth."
I Crow was introduced to the audi
ence by Clem Howard, Sutherlin
I banker, who also introduced eev-

brought here a week ago from the
junglea of India.
He had been free ainre 1 p m
Saturday when he leaped from a
bar less pit, 18 feet deep and scam
pered away while onlookers stood
frozen with terror.
Groggy frm Meat
But an empty atomach and per
haps a yearning for the mat he
left behind prompted th fugitive
to return the same way h left
of hia own accord.
Th leopard waa found groggy
by park employee and a game
ranger aa h waa slinking slleily
toward th bait placed near hia
pit.
Frazier aaid the leopard appear
ed to be in good condition after
ita three days of freedom.
It waa wet from the rain which
fell before midnight.
Thia factor, plus the meat and
an urge to be cloae to ita mate,
probably compelled th leopard to
return through th guarded too
area to the pit.

shortage felt even mor acutely.
More and more industries were
closing down. Schools were closing.
Even some hospitals were having
trouble finding enough fuel to keep
patient warm.
It ia againat the background of
thia picture that government at
torneys presented their contempt
caae in federal court her to Judge
Richmond B. Keech.
The government contends the
United Worker union ia guilty of
both civil and criminal contempt
because the miners have disobeyed
the court'a Feb. 11 back-to-work
order. The strike haa continued in
defiance of the order.
Threat Of Fin Futil
A possible multi-million dollar
fine againat the U.MW, whose treas
ury ia estimated at between $13,
000,000 and S20.000.000, is the only
weapon the government haa at the
moment to try to get the minera
back.
But will they return even after a
fine? Their mood, aa reflected in
comments from the coal fields, is
they won't go back until they get
a new work contract. They may be
ready to forfeit their whole union
treasury.
President Truman so far haa re
frained from taking up the sugges
tion, earlier expressed by some
congressmen, that the administra
tion aeek seizure powers so the
government can operate the coal
minea. That would make the minera
federal employes. But would they
feel any differently then?
Lewia Set iaampl
In the two earlier contempt caaea,
Lewia himself refused to obey the
court. -Federal Judge T. Alan Golda-
borough levied the two prior fines
against mm and the union.
The UMW is again charged with
two kinda of contempt, civil and
criminal. So in event of conviction,
the union ia bound to be stuck by a
fine.
A civil contempt action is design
ed to obtain obedience of a dis
obeyed order. So if higher courts,
on appeal, ruled that Judge
Keech a strike-end order is illegal
because the Taft-Hartley act's
emergency provisions are illegal,
trie civil contempt fin could be
set aside.
But the criminal contempt ac
tion ia designed to be a punishment
for flouting the court'a instructiona
to vindicate the authority of the
court. A criminal contempt convic
tion ia considered hardly likely to
be overturned by a higher court,
even if the injunction were even
tually found void.
Picketing the few scattered non
union minea still operating con
tinued in the coal fields. Violence
flared at a number of these. State
police in Ohio were ordered to pro
tect truck caravana carrying coal
to meet emergency needs.
