made in the complaints.
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.
