<DIV>There are a number of books out on the Oregon Logging industry, you
might run a search on them, My grandfather was a logger in 1910 as well as
some of my other relatives, have some old photos.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Cecil......a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and
yours. Thanks for your email. The reason I have made this
post is that I had a first cousin once removed who was a logger living
in a mobile home in Sweet Home. Family legend says he and his wife
died in a fire caused by a union bombing. I have the
coronor's report and they did die in a fire. The coronor's report
says they were seen drinking earlier in the evening and they were both
smokers. This was in 1952. The bodies weren't discovered
until after the fire was put out???? Investigations weren't that
thorough in those days. What are your thoughts about the
possibilities of the bombing theory being correct.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As an aside. I am ex RM2 USN. I was in from July
'59 until November '63. I spent 18 months on Guam and the
remainder of my hitch on the USS Manatee AO-58. Thanks again
for your post. Jim Minneapolis</DIV>

they could do with their union. He was black balled and never

the OR logging industry</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Greetings to all listers. I have a rather intense
interest in finding out the extent to which efforts existed to
unionize the logging industry in Oregon in the late 40's and early
50's. A special focus is on Linn and Marion counties.
Any books, articles, or personal experience/knowledge of the topic
would be very much appreciated. Blessings to all.
