Jury Strikes For $4
Not to be outdone by tbi striking
ship carpenters, the Circuit Court jury
made a mild demand for higher w ages
when the court opened at Astoria.
The jurors, however, did not ask for a
closed shop, shorter hours, trained
nurses or walking delegates. They
said that the cost of living had increas
ed so much that the members who liv
ed outside of the city were unable to
pay their expenses, while attending
court, at the wage of $3 a day now al
lowed. The jurors asked if the pay
could not be increased to (4.
Judge Eakin informed them that the
Legislature fixes the compensation for
jurors and that the court has no juris
diction in the matter. Ke said also
that they could serve at the old wage
or walk out, and the latter would be
contempt of court, which would mean
a t .'rm in the County Jail.

inga for war purposes is getting re
sults and may prove of great benefit to

of the country is evidenced by a tele
gram just received by the Klamath
Commercial Club, which has also been
active in the matter, from Senator Mc
Nary. Tbe Senator has taken the matter up
with the Quartermaster General at
Washington and declares that the
Government will purchase both mares
and geldings at the rate of 15 per cent
