current labor dispute between the
Waterfront Employers association
of the Pacific Coast and the Inter
national
Longshoremen’s
and
Warehousemen’s union, CIO, was
started in U. S. district court in

Arnold L. Couty, Coos Bay, who
says he is an employee of the Coos
Bay Lumber company but has
been out of work six weeks be

a petition of his own phrasing de
manding that both groups show
cause in court why the strike
should continue.
Couty said he was unable to
get an attorney to handle his case

so be did it himself. He paid the
necessary «15 to file his action in of all kinds, phono 5 or 95-L. tic
the federal court. Now it must be
considered by the Judges. The
federal court clerk’s office said the
filing is “most unique.”
In his petition, Couty charges
that the defendants, both manage

dispute to maintain an obstruction
in the loading and unloading of
ships in the ports of the Pacific
Coast and did so impair . . . com
merce as to cause unemployment
in lumber saw-mills and so bring
injury to the plaintiff.”
He asks the court to summon
both defendants before it to an
swer these charges and to show
cause why the court shall not
honor his petition for a redress of
grievances by directing both de
fendants to resume usual opera
