ganization was seen in the issuance of
sixty subpoenas for railroad officials and
union men to appear before the federal
grand Jury here Wednesday.
The Jury will consider the outlaw strike
situation and the arrest of Grunau and
other leaders for alleged violation of the
Lever' 5 law.

ping him out of the state, was chosen
by Alvin Steigerwald, a well-known
Washougal dairyman, as punishment
for Walter Groth, an employe, whom
he accused of attempting to violate
the sanctity of his home, according
to a statement made by the former
to county officials.
According to the information gained
by the investigators, Steigerwald re
turned to his home and found his
wife in tears, sobbing out Groth’s
name.
Stiegerwald claims to have taken
his shotgun and hunted Groth.
He changed his mind, he said,
about killing Groth, and determined
to brand and horsewhip him and send
him out of the state.
Attorney Yates, investigating the
affair, stated that Steigerwald told
him he paid Groth's fare out of the
state and that, realizing that Groth’s
wife and 14 day-old baby would be
entirely destitute, took them under
his protection and provided for them
until he found their relatives in Port
land.

The box office drawing power of Wil
