HARDER TO HEAD
Speed Essential In Raising
County's Quota of $2400
Volunteers Requested.
To help answer the cry of In
nocent European war vlctimi
for assistance from a merciful
nation, Jackson county chapter
of the American Red Crosa will
launch a awft 'irWe tomorrow
to raise ita quoia of $2400 to
ward the national goal of $10,.
000,000.
Ben E. Harder was named
director of the Jackson county
drive yesterday. Immediately he
issued call for small num
ber of volunteers who could
work with him for a few hours
each day. Those in a position to
serve on his staff were asked to
report to Mr. Harder at his of
fice In the First National Bank
building or to telephone him
at 350.
Tim Is Essence
Tomorrow Mr. Harder will
organize the campaign, stream
lining the organization for
speedy work. He emphasized
that the time element is import
ant if the victims of the war in
Europe are to receive even the
superficial help they so badly
need. The terrifying war ma
chine has struck in innocent
countries so suddenly and so
savagely that every element of
relief must be mobilized with
out further delay if any help Is
to be administered at all, Mr.
Harder pointed out.
It is the campaign director's
expectation that the county's
Quota will be raised in a week.
The quota, he said, is a reason
able sum, small in comparison
with the good it will accomplish
for the hundreds of thousands
suddenly blasted from their
homes by a war In which they
wanted no part.
Plan Central Ofllca
The county's quota, Mr. Har
der related, probably will be
broken down into smaller quo
tas allotted to the different com
munities of the county.
A central headquarters office
will be established at the Jack
ton County Chamber of Com
merce, he said.
The Red Cross fund is to be

Belgium, including destruction
of bridges, railways and flying
fields. The French claimed sim
ilar successes in the unremitting!
war of the air. I
The still-fighting Belgians'
said the forts at Namur and
l.icge were holding out. even
though the Germans already I
had passed them and captured!
Brussels and Antwerp.
Although the French told ofi
Mill violent German assaults all;
day Saturday, they theorized :
that some of the great flame-'
throwing German tanks which
lead the charge had dropped
back for refueling.
Ntw Surge Hinted
Some inkling that perhaps the
Germans were preparing to
draw on their second wind was
given In a German report that
"pacification" of The Nether
lands, nearing completion, would
release another 800.000 Nazi
troops for the surge Into France.
The British military spokes
man, who contended the Satur
day situation certainly was no
worse than Friday, while ac
knowledging that the allies still
were falling back, said the Bri
tish and Belgian withdrawal In
Belgium was taken to conform
to the German advance in
France.
Vnawarr of this strategy, the
troops in Belgium were Indig

SHOW EFFECT OF
STRIKE HOSTILITY
Window of One Smashed,
Eggs Splatter Another
Drivers Deny Implication.
Third day of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen strike on
the Pacific Greyhound bus
lines passed quietly here yes
terday as striking drivers con
tinued a sort of passive picket
ing at the stage depot.
Striking drivers reported that
one northbound bus arrived
here yesterday with its driver's
window smashed in and an
other arrived splattered with
eggs.
The striking drivers, how
ever, had nothing to do with
either incident, said Sam D.
Koehler, Medford driver and
chairman of the Oregon griev
ance committee.
Deny Violence
"We do not advocate and we
are not engaging in any kind
of violence and while we ap
preciate the sympathy of the
public we hope that none of
our friends will do anything
not approved by the brother
hood," Mr. Koehler declared.
"At the same time we want
to call the public's attention to
the practice of collusion where
by acts of violence are perpe
trated purposely and then
blamed on peaceful strikers."
Mr. Koehler said there were
about a dozen drivers on strike
here and that all of the Broth
erhood drivers in the western
division were out excepting
three in Oregon. Twenty-seven
newly hired drivers have join
ed the strike, he added. But
patronage had declined notice
ably, he averred. The company,
however, declared operations
were normal. Mr. Koehler said
he had received a message from
San Francisco headquarters
saying the police had com
mended the strikers for their
exemplary conduct.
San Francisco, May 18. fPt
Receipt of a message from
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
urging A.F.L. unions to oppose
a strike of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen against Pa
cific Greyhound Lines was an
nounced today by Edward Van
deleur, secretary of the state
A.F.L.
At the same time, F. W.
Coyle, deputy president of the
Brotherhood, said the strike of
member drivers was "increas
ingly effective" and that more
than 500 were on picket lines
at 45 points in seven western
states. He said passenger traf
fic was "gradually dwindling."
F. W. Ackerman, vice pres
ident of Greyhound, denied
Coyle's claim, and said only
about 200 of 781 drivers were
on strike and that operations
were "practically normal everv
where." He said the A.F.L.
Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employes was sup
plying all drivers needed.

CENTRAL PL MILL
HIGH BIDDER FOR
UNiON CREEK PINE
25 Million Board Feet In
Rogue River Forest In
sures Five Year Operation
Southern Oregon Sugar Pine
comoany. whose mill is situated
at Central Point, was high bid
der on 25.000,000 board feet of
t'mber on the Rogue River na
tional forest, it was announced
by forest headquarters yester
day. The bids were opened in the
U. S. regional forester's office
in Portland Friday. There were
four bids and competition for
the choice timber was said to
be particularly keen. The suc
cessful bidding was considered a
feather in the hat of the local
company which has taken the
lead in opening up quality tim
ber areas in southern Oregon,
especially in western white pine.
Five Year Operation
The local company bid $7.10
per thousand board feet for the
entire amount of timber offered
for sale. The 25,000.000 board i
feet comprised 21,000.000 board
feet of sugar pine and 4.000.000
of western white pine. The
minimum advertised acceptable
price was S8.25 for the sugar
pine and $7 00 for the western
white pine. The sale will yield !
a total of $177,500 to the forest j
service.
The timber must be taken out j
in five years, the contract speci-
fied. Thus this tract alone will;
give the local company five!
years of operations, it was,
pointed out. j
The timber will be cut under
U. S. forest service supervision
and the customary forest service
practice of sustained yield op
erations will be carried out. The
cutting therefore will be done
on a selective basis to carry out
the government's policy of con
servation and the preservation
of scenic values.
In Woodruff Meadows
The timber tract is in the
vicinity of Woodruff Meadows
north of Crater Lake highway
in the Union Creek district of
the Rogue River national forest.
As is the case of all such re-
ccipts. 25 per cent of the money!
received by the forest service!
from this sale will be divided
among the counties in which
Rogue River national forest ex
tends and another 10 per cent
will go to road and trail con
struction. mm vote
