highest quality timber. and that
the thousands employed In the
timber industries receive the high
est wages paid in any country be-
cause Of the high quality Of the
timber.
This region" he said. "once had
extensive export trade in finished
timber products developed through
decades of persistent efforts. This
market practically has disappeared
because foreign countries desire to
employ their own labor just as we
do. They know they can get the
raw material from us because our
government has not taken any
steps to protect our own industries
and labor"

indispensable to the welfare Of the

material which permits our wood
working industries to expend a.
much As SIS per ton of finished
products in labor at Is cents per
hour. 1t is also this raw material
which only involves 81 per ton in
wages covering telling and trans

AT the present rate Of cutting,
these stands win be exhausted long
before new crops mature and the
nation will Be- deprived Of high
grade timber products and eco
nomic disaster IL certain to ensue
in the northwest.
I'VE. therefore. proposed to pro-
hibit the expectation Of high grade
Douglas fir peeler logs and all Port

own future needs unless we con-
serve them"

Appeals Court UphoIds
Contempt Sentence.

District Court has the power to
regulate the practice Of law outside
the court, as well as within, the
United States Court Of Appeals in
dicated today.
The appellate tribunal sustained .
District Court order, relating to
Edmond G. Fletcher, former Assist
ant Attorney General, adjudging him
ito be in contempt of that court
District Court and sentencing him
to pay a fine of 500, or, on default
thereof, to be committed to Jail for
80 days." for allegedly conducting
himself as member Of the bar, in
violation Of its order.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals recalled today that appellant
was disbarred by an order of the
District Court on December IA, 1881,
and forbidden either to practice law
or to hold himself out to be an
attorney at law in the District" and
that the disbarment order was up
held by the higher court.
Although the appellant contended
that the sending of q letter to the
United States marshal did not con-
stitute representation by him that
he was authorized to practice law"
the United States Court of Appeals
said today "but we think that it did
and that the holding of the lower
court to such effect was correct"
The Appellate Court held without
merit the contention that the con-
tempt proceeding was void because
not initiated by an affidavit rather
than by the report of the Grievance
Committee, and also brushed aside
the contention that the sentence of
contempt was invalid, because it
failed to specify to whom the pay
ment of the fine should be made.
