Each of the three strikers asks $15,000 in general damages, $10,000 in punitive damages and $5,500 attorney’s fees. Diversity of citizenship, the plaintiffs in Washington and the defendants in Oregon, was given as the basis for federal jurisdiction in the case. Almost every day since the dispersing of the pickets last Thursday, strikers have concen- trated near the mill and the state police and county officers have been called out. Each time most of the pickets climb into automobiles and head for Port land without awaiting orders when the officers appear in sight. Union leaders declared that they had rented the land north of the road to the Stimson mill and charge the sheriff and the state police with evicting pickets from the rented land.
