case of Ray Gerking vs. All-State
Realty company is scheduled to

Hamilton's court
The settlement of the case
which had been on the docket
for today restored the plaintiff's
status as a disabled workman,
and nullifies a former ruling of
the accident commission which
curtailed his accident benefits.
The agreement specified that he
will receive further medical treat
ment, at the expense of the com
mission, and that the case will be
re-examined later. Ward was em
ployed by the Tite-Knot Pine mill
in Redmond, and was injured in a
series of accidents occurring in a
three-year period.
Attorneys Named
H. H. DeArmond was the at
torney for the plaintiff, and T.
Walter Gillard, of Portland, rep
resented the accident commission.
In the case which is scheduled
to begin tomorrow, Gerking
seeks a Judgment lor about $700,
plus interest, which he claims is
due him for commissions earned
when he was associated with the
realty company as a salesman.
The defendants have offered to
pay Gerking $450 in settlement,
but an agreement was not reach
ed. George H. Brewster, of the Red
mond firm of Cunning and Brew

tiff, and the firm of DeArmond,
