cated they would fight any conv
pany attempt to move an ore
train througn ineir lines.
The company declined to

tives said the plant's ore supply
was low and they believed a
train load might try to get
through their lines.
Constant Watch Orders.
Multnomah county Sheriff
Terry D. Schrunk ordered a
constant watch at the strike
scene and District Attorney
John B. McCourt went into con
ferences with company and un

AFL lines, but CIO steelwork
rs were entering the plant and
work was proceeding as usual.

unfair list of the Portland Cen
tral Labor council last week and

ter the girl's body was found

duction scene allegedly bore
Utah's fingerprints. The sus
pects' car had a piece of bone,
