and the holding of him in $4,000 bail
for grand jury action on charge OF
netting to riot. The lawyers for the
strikers were today preparing papers
in an appeal and intended to ask the
higher court to admit the labor leader
to bail pending its decision.
The prospects for speedy settle
rlent of the dispute have vanished.
The strike leaders are particularly
bitter over the manner il which their
demands we're received by the manu-
facturers. Th declare that when
they were presented late yester-
day the committee from the mill own
ers contemptuously tore the written
document up. because 1t was on the
official paper Of the l. w. w

day the manufacturers say they will
not treat sswirL the /. w. w. as an

GRANT CASE CAN
BE CARRIED HIGHER
Judge M. L. Richie Indicates Method
of Finally Disposlng Of Con-
tempt Charge:

So as to give opportunity for final
settlement of the case, Judge NJ. L.
Ritchie of the district court yesterday
modified his decision in the prohibi,
tion proceedings against Harry S.
Harper, justice Of the peace, instituted
by Chief Of Police B. f. Grant to pre-
vent Harper from proceeding with con
tempt charges against the chief.
Judge Ritchie held in his original
decision that the Justice acted without
authority in issuing an order which
the chief Of police disobeyed, and for
which he was cited for contempt.
The modification entered yesterday
strikes out the order prohibiting the
Justice of tho peace from proceeding
with the contempt case. Justice
Harper is now free to call the chief of
police into his court and go on with
the contempt proceedings.
Judge Ritchie IS opinion indicated
that the proper legal procedure would
be for Justice Harper to call the chief
into court and then dismiss the CON
tempt proceedings.
Justice Harper last night said that
Chief Grant would have to stand trial
for contempt and that summonses
were issued yesterday, and id all were
served in time the cases would be
called Thursday morning.
