<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

<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>

Unionizing 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.
