from coast to coast because of the
great advance In the price of the
necessities, the Spokane painters,
paperhansers and decorators on

The demands, which are to go

Although conditions in the

by the local N. p. officials for some
time, a storm Of protest has arisen
from the wholesale dealers and
shippers along the line of that road

which has been collected by the

According to the statements of
40 or more of these shippers and

GLEN IS
: GIVEN A
NEW TRIAL
Questions of Federal Juris-
diction Settled in His
Favor by Judge
Webster.
MAY ESCAPE PENALTY
MAY ESCAPE PENALTY

Is Paul Clein, the convicted MUIR
dereNof John Saudawski, to re-
eeive no punishment for his crime?
So far as the state courts are
concerned, he will not, for a motion
for a new trial was granted this
morning by Judge j. Stanley Web
ster on the grounds that it was
0bt proven affirmatively that the
crime was committed without the
Fort Wright reservation, and there
fore the state courts have no jur-
isdction in the matter.
Prosecutor Pugh conceded this
morning that Clein has more than
an even chance to escape punish
ment for his crime, while local at
torneys are practically agreed that
Clein will never pay the penalty for
the shooting of his friend.
Prosecutor Pugh has notified the
federal authorities of the action of
the local court and the man will
be tried in the United States dis
trict court.
1t will probably be just as diff
cult to prove affirmatively that the
crime was committed within the
reservation as it was to prove that
the shooting occurred without. The
murdered man was last seen alive
outside of the Fort Wright terri
tory, and his body was found with
in the reservation.
Prosecutor Pugh quotes similar
case in Montana where a man Sc
cured new trial after conviction,
claiming the crime to have been
committed on an Indian reserva-
ton, and was released upon appeal
after conviction in the federal
court.

DEMAND A
RAISE OF so CENTS

OF the master painters have already
expressed the opinion that the de-
mand Is reasonable and are in fa-
vor of granting it. The tradesmen
are now getting $3.50 for a day of
eight hours.
1t is pointed out by the local
men that the members of the
trade in Butte. where living is not
higher than here. get $3.50. In Sc
attic and Portland, where living is
less expensive. they get $3.50. The
trade is highly specialized, it re-
quiring an apprenticeship of three
years to learn 1t. The average
painter is able to work only about
seven months in the year, as both
cold weather and rain interfere
with his work on outside Jobs.
