Two striking shop-workers were
sentenced to jail, a third fined and
eleven cleared of the charge of con
tempt of court by Federal Judge
"Wolverton, who announced his de
cision yesterday in the strike con
tempt hearing, which grew out of
the demonstration staged at the
gates of Albina shops on August 1.
in violation of the federal court
anti-picketing injunction.
George Scharmann and Robert
Green, pronounced by the court to
be the ringleaders in the disturb
ance, must serve 60 days each in the
county jail and pay fines of J100
apiece. Martin Chutuk. held to be a
mere follower of the agitators, was
fined $30.
Three others, also named as ring
leaders and prime movers of the
disturbance. Roy Baker. Nick Castri
gano and Mike Dubitz. were freed
because it was not proved that they
were members of any of the or
ganized unions. Five men. James
Getty. Emil Gesca, George Melcher.
Jacob Haberman and Conrad Brill,
who produced alibis tending to
prove that they were at home at
the time of the demonstration, were
acquitted.
Appeal Is Likely.
Because the court had viewed the
proceedings from a criminal angle
and because the testimony against
two others, Stojan Vestica and Pete
Mihaijevich, was not conclusive,
these two men were also freed. Nick
Eichner, the 14th man, was acquitted
. because .it was shown that he was
the one authorized picket allowed
by the court order.
Scharmann and Green were not
imprisoned yesterday. Pending the
perfecting of an appeal, a stay of
execution for ten days was granted
by the court. Bail for Green and
Scharmann was set at $1000. for
Chutuk at $250.
The charges grew out of. the
shopmen's strike, which commenced
. July 1. On July 26. attorneys repre
senting the O.-W. R. & X. company
applied for an injunction and a
temporary restraining order, for
bidding the union forces from in
any way molesting workmen em
ployed hy the company. The order
became effective two days later. It
was strict and stringent, and ab
solutely prohibited picketing in the
vicinity of the company's prop
erties. But one union man was al
lowed to be near shops and yards,
and he was to be there simply as
an observer.
Demonstration Auirust 1.
On August 1, three days after the
order became effective, a large
gathering of men and women as
sembled outside of the Albina shops
and subjected non-union men. leav
ing the plant, to a storm of abuse
and indignities.
Twenty men were cited for con
tempt of court by the railroad of
ficials, and but 14 were found by
United States marshals. The trial
of the 14 commenced August 13 and
continued for eight days.
In obedience to a summons of the
court, attorneys for the company
and for the unions, eleven of the de
fendants, labor officials and a
crowd of curious assembled in the
court at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. "Mr. Green,"" said Judge Wolver
ton, addressing the union lawyer,
"are the defendants all here?"
Green explained that three were
at work in the hop field's but that
they waived the formality of being
present when the decision was an
nounced. Evidence la Discussed.
Judge Wolverton, in giving his
decision and in fixing the punish
ments, reviewed the case at length,
quoted numerous legal authorities
and discussed the evidence. He
said :
"Out of due precaution that the
rights of the parties might be
adequately conserved the court di
rected that the hearing go forward
on the hypothesis that the proceed
ing was one for criminal contempt.
"The testimony shows beyond
question that -there was an as
semblage of men and women on the
north ide of Knott street, extending
from Delay street east for a dis
tance of from 30 to 100 feet. The
men were greatly in the majority,
and the number of persons gathered
there has been estimated at from
40 to 50 to 100 persons. They had
formed a line on each side of the
sidewalk, the purpose being to
compel working men coming from
the shops, as they went up the
street, to pass between these two
lines."
Intention Pointed Ont.
" "AS evidence of this purpose,
when one of the workmen took the
middle of the street, some of the
men attempted to head him off, so
as to make him take the sidewalk
and pass between the lines. They
were unsuccessful in this attempt,
as the man ducked his head and
passed rapidly up the street, not
withstanding the attempt to have
him change his course.
"The assemblage was boisterous
and turbulent and the workmen, as
they passed through the lines, were
subjected to various insults and in
dignities, accompanied by the pre
tense of assault and in one or two
instances of actual assault. One
man was shoved about, another suf
fered the gross indignity of having
one of the strikers. R. E. Baker, spit
in his face, and another was tripped
as he went by.
"The epithets applied were such
as 'scab,' 'cur,' 'dirty rat,' 'yellow'
and the like, with threats of dif
ferent kinds, among which was "I'll
get you yet.' The assemblage was
one well calculated to create fear
and terrorize the workmen, which
was unquestionably the purpose.
Three Cases Dropped.
"It is. insisted that Baker. Castri
gano and Dubitz have not been
shown to have been served with
the restraining order, nor has it
been shown that they had any
knowledge of its issuance. The at
tachment for contempt will there
fore have to be discharged as it
respects these three men.
"As it relates to Robert Green, a
different aspect is "presented. Green
was positively identified by no less
than five witnesses, and was very
active on the lines. One witness, a
woman, said he looked right at her
and called her a name.. Another
"I am convinced that Eichner was
there lawfully, in obedience to his
appointment as the single picket
to attend that place, that he .did not
participate in the assemblage on the
north side of Knott street and that
he did what he thought was proper
and all he could do to have those
engaged in picketing disperse and
allow the men to pass from the shop i A
unmolested. K'
"The court finds, therefore, that' (J
the attachment should be discharged M
Getty. Haberman. Melcher. Brill,
Gesca. Mihaijevich. Vestica and
Eichner, and that Green, Scharmann
and- Chutuk are guilty of criminal
contempt of court.
"The order and judgment of the
court will therefore be, that Green
and Scharmann be confined in the
county Jail of Multnomah county for
the term of 60 days, and that each
pay a fine of $100. and that Chutuk
pay a fine of $30."
The case probably will be ap
pealed to the United States court of
appeals In the cases of Scharmann.

union lawyer, announced yesterday.

men saved from imprisonment until
after the higher court passes on the

be added to the defendants in the
$50,000 damagre suit filed in the cir
cuit court last week by Tom Gar
land against Charles Hall, R. R.
Coster and the klan for alleged
slander. Permission to include these
officers was granted on a motion
argued yesterday before Presidine
Judge Stapleton.
Earl F. Bernard, attorney for Hall,
presented a motion to dismiss the
entire complaint on the ground that
it stated more than one cause of
action. Garland conceded this, how
ever, and was allowed five days in
which to amend his petition.
Bernard also specifically attacked
a portion of Garland's complaint, in
which the petitioner asserted that
he is a direct descendant of Patrick
Henry, "one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence," by
the contention that Patrick Henry
did not sign this famous document.
Garland admitted this and said he
would amend his new complaint,
saying, however, that he was quite
certain his eminent forebear would
