Harvester Plants
Tied By Strikes
CHICAGO IIP Nearly 50,.
000 workers at IB International
Harvester company plants
throughout the country were on
strike today.
The farm equipment division of,
the United Electrical Workers
(IND) Sunday ordered its 27,000
members on strike in 11 plants.
The strike call brought the Dig
implement manufacturing firm's
operations to a standstill. Kight
other harvester plants have been
shut down since Thursday by
strike called by the CIO United
Auto Workers, who represent 22,
000 workers.
Announcing the KE-UE strike
after a mass meeting Sunday, Ger
ald Fielde, director of the union's
harvester council, termed the com
pany's withdrawal from a tenta
tive contract agreement last week
"the most brazen double cross in
modern labor industry."
He said the company's action
was an attempt to impose a "wage
freeze at the time of its greatest
profits in history."
W. J. Reilly, Harvester's labor
relations manager, said "the com
pany has been and is willing to
make very substantial wage in
creases for employes."
Fielde said the union now will
settle for nothing less than a 15
ccnt general hourly wage incrase.

of the persons gathered in front of the bandstand and speakers' platform. Mrs. K. J. Murphy and
Emma Hodden, co-chairmen for the celebration, are shown in photo at upper left, cutting two of
the mammoth birthday cakes contributed for the occasion. Seven of the cakes were given by the
Douglas county court and the large cake at right was a present from the Umpqua National Bank
of Reedsport. Only casualty of the morning's parade was the covered wagon in photo second from
left. Driven by Kenneth Whitlow and "Mom" Smith, fhe wagon drew applause in the parade, but
reversed double-trees fouled up the "steering gear" and tha wagon was forced to drop out. Miss
Emma Hedden, in photo third from left, was busy Sunday directing the day's entire activities.
Known throughout Douglas county as Scottsburg 's postmistress, Miss Hedden is the granddaugh
ter of Cyrus Hedden, one of Scottsburg's earliest residents, and now runs the general merchan
dise store her grandfather founded 99 years ago. Picture at right indicates the interest the small
fry took in the day's proceedings. Hoop skirts were much in evidence and even a few "Indians"

Centennial Celebration Draws Hundreds To Historic Scottsburg
New Methods Of Mapping
County Forests Cheaper
(Continued From Page Ont)
may be determined. It is compar
able to the methods employed by
our armed forces to map large
areas rapidly, accurately and at
low cost. With this base map and
the photos the cruisers go to work,
planning and expediting the oper
ation with these tools. From the
cruising reports the timher vol
umes and other information are
compiled and put on record forms
for the Assessor.
Reference Value High
A by product that will more than
pay the cost of the photographing
is a detailed base and forest cover
map. When completed, it will be
the most accurate, controlled map
of its type in the stale. It will
show roads, clearings, timbered
areas, logged areas, types of for
est cover, and man-made features
as they appeared when the areas
were photographed. This map will
he used by the county assessor's
office as well as other county de
partments and, according t o
Kleiner, made available lo the pub
lic for a nominal charge.
The cost of th eproject is further
minimized by the employment of
a small, but highly organized staff
of nine persons. Under Kleiner,
who performs much of the field
work, is William W. Knupp, head
rruiser, and cruisers Earl T. Clark,
Herbert B. Smith and Gene E.
Johnson. Mapping engineers are E.
E. Given, Jack r. Bathrick and
George E. Lipp. Miss Rosalind
Randall fills out the staff as typist
and stenographer.
Long Task Ahead
The project will he one of from
live to seven years duration and
will produce a complete map of
the entire country except the solid
block of national forest on the
east. Aetna Iv this lust the first
but most difficult-phase because
... ,. ,, . .
of the continually changing timber
picture. This initial phase will ter-
minate with statistics on every
acre of county and private land,
... . , ..
with information as easily acces-j
sible as the nearest index. Most
important it will provide means
for enuitable taxation of all types
of forest properties in the county.
Thus tax values will be based on
a recent inventory which included
all the important factors govern
ing forest values.

Packard, giving terms following

its 8,000 workers.

agreed to a five-year contract
which follows almost to the letter

of S1O0 to $125 monthly, including
social security, and an expanded
insurance plan along with liberal
ized vacations and other benefits.
