With Ita present force of shopmen at Alblna and Brooklyn. lUrrlmin rail road officials In Portland declare that they are able to do nearly aa much work as before the strike was started three weeks ago. J. I. O'Brien, gen eral manager, said yesterday that 70 additional skilled men had been em ployed In the previous 2 hours and that S per cent of the normal fores now Is working. By employing the present force nine hours a day and si days a week In stead of eight hours a day and only five days a week, as was the practice before the atrlke. the company obtains ail the work It considers necessary. On a basis of 100 men working live days of eight hours each, the company would obtain 0u0 hours of work a week. On a basis of ti mjtn working six days of nine hours each. It is possible to ob tain IS10 hours of work a week. By working the men 10 hours a day a maximum of ISO hours is obtained. With this force the company declares It Is satisfied to continue operations. Officials say work at both shops can be carried on Indefinitely. For each unit of 100 men working before the strike, they now have ti men on duty. Striker Dear Efnrleaey. Strike leaders declare, however, that the present force is Incompetent and nnable to do half the amount of work, and that at a greatly reduced degree of efficiency. However, the officials point to the fart that they would not truat delicate and valuable machinery to Incompetent and Inexperienced workmen, and say that the standard of workmanship now maintained is equal to that existing previous to tha strike. The first three weeks of the strike have been remarkable for the lack of disturbances and the confidence main tained on both sides. From the very outset the company assumed a position of Independence that bordered upon de fiance. A time limit was set within which the company agreed to take back all of the old men and restore tbem to good standing on Ita rolls. A very small number of union men returned. Immediately after the expiration of that period the company started to hire men from whatever source they could be gleaned. Many were employed through the employment agencies In Portland and aome were sent from 1'uget Sound. More than 0 men were brought In at one time by means of a special train from Troutdale, the men having been recruited at Puget Sound points. Wra.lag Fare Garalaar. The moat sensational feature of the pntlre three weeks developed a few days ago when Ed Carlisle, not a mem ber of the federation, but a striker, circulated a handbill urging the men to return to work. He was charged by the onion men with being In the em ploy of the company, but Carlisle em phatically denied Uils. General Man ager O'Brien IssueS an official state ment' denying that Carlisle was em ployed by the company. Carlisle's action caused little disturb ance In the rank of the strikers, but while ha was busy on one h.ind the company continued Its efforts to enlist Company reports In the last week show that the number of new men ob tained has een increasing every day. Yesterday's employment of TO skilled men is the greatest number hired on sny single day since the strike started. Harrtman officials believe that with in the next week they will have all the men they need. Then, they say. they will cease hiring and operate the shops as If no strike existed.

CITY CAPTIVE PARDONED GOVERNOR. FREES ROCKPILE PRISONER WHO FLED. Man Who Emypcd to Visit Dying Wlfo Gain ICnlcncy Boy Drag Fiend I Paroled. Revolution In th method of th Municipal Court In relation to the re lease of prisoners after sentence. wa demonstrated yesterday, when two pris oners at the Llnnton rockpll were freed ahead of their tlm by procedure In legal form. In one case appeal was bad to the Governor, who Issued a par don, whll In th other, on motion of Judge Galeps, of the Juvenile Court, the case waa reopened and a new trial was held, after which tho prisoner was paroled. The only apparent flaw in the procedure was that on man was re leased on a pardon from the Governor In the face of a recent opinion of City Attorney Grant that th state execu tive has no uch power In city cases. Until recently there had been much criticism of th court because numer ous prisoners, after being sentenced, were allowed to go by orders of th court entered without publicity, and this practice waa mad an lasu In th trial of A. 8.

He was recaptured and was serving SO day and a 1200 fine when the Governor Intervened. A brother of Merrltt. living In St. Louis, haa for warded transportation, and the broken down man will go to that city. James Buckner. a youth who has played a prominent part In the cruoad against vendors of noxious drugs, re ceived a remission of the remaining part of a 6u-day sentence through the Intervention of Judge Catena, of whose court he Is a ward. Buckner was th alleged go-between of Solomon Miller, a South Portland druggist, and youths who were his customers. Ha gave his testimony against Miller and was plrked up a few week ago, again In the grip of th cocaine habit. His mother made effort to obtain hi release, but was un heeded until she made affidavit that the penalty was excessive, and obtained the recommendation of Judge Catena that the case be reopened. On thla showing th boy wa brought In from th Llnn ton rockpll yesterday, had a new hear ing; In court and waa paroled In th custody of the probation officers. He will remain her until he has given his testimony against Miller on an appealed case In the Circuit Court, and will then loin hla father on a homestead.
