three hundred pickers in tho Camp
bell & Tliornsbury hop yard, north
west of Eugene, went out on a strike
yesterday. They have been receiving
SO cents per 100 pounds, but now de
mand $1 per 100. As pickers are
hard to secure it Is probable that tho
owners of the yard will accede to tho
demands of the pickers, it will re
quiro 10 days or two weeks yet to
harvest tho crop In this section, anJ
as the rainy season is approaching,
growers are beginning lo feel un
easy. With plenty of help and dry
weather the crop may bo harvested,
but from tho present outlook many
of the hops will be damaged, If not
lost altogether.
