The. afternoon session was brief, the group meeting only long' enough" to allow the "intro duction of. lr"new bills to bring the total introduced for the day to ST. . . - v.; 'r1':': It was a, case of "no- but try again when Representative Nor blad tried to obtain the passage of his bill to raise the salaries of the county officials of Clatsop. The bouse turned down the bill when. Representative Hyde point ed out that the suggested raise would put the Clatsop judge's sal ary at 93000 which is $600 more than any other judge in the state. After defeating the bill by a 32-to-2 rote the house approved re consideration and sent the bill back to committee. Other bills that failed tore in nDTonl vera house. bills seeking to make the positions of coroner and county surveyor non uriiun anrf to make consolidated school districts assume the obli gations of all component districts. '" All Favor Release In contrast to the votes on the comparative minor measures, the representatives, without a single dissenting vote, approved a meas ure to allow prisoners now in the . penitentiary a good-time , deduc tion from their sentences. The bill was passed under suspension of the rules on a favorable committee- report. ' ; Tti, m n r t while under somewhat of a cloud because of warnings by the attorney general's office that it is unconstitutional, is an effort on the part of the leg islature to make good the state's promise to the men lhat they would be granted the good time. Such had been the interpretation of the law until;. the Fehl ruling by the attorney general and its subsequent upholding by. the su preme court which held that the , prisoners could not be automati cally released. - Three other measures passed by the house granted salary raises to officers In different counties, l Tonight is the deadline for the Introduction of bills in the house.

If the strike should end now, the, industry .would apparently be in better position than might be anticipated as result of the strike. However, loss of consuming power during the strike period may in the end tell the tr.o for canners and packers, another op erator points out. Even heavy shipping for the next few months may' not be able to' overcome the loss of buying power - and fruit and vegetable consumption Indirectly and directly due to the strike.
