RAIL SHOP WORK
IS
General Manager O'Brien De
clares 65 Per Cent of Nor
mal Force Works.
70 SKILLED MEN HIRED
Railroad Artificer on XIne-IIour
Schedule Accomplish Task That
Required More Hands Before
Strike Company Satisfied.
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.
PATROLMAN IS OUSTED
It. A. Foster Is Suspended After
Complaint by Girl.
On technical charges of disobeying
orders, back of which Is a more serious
allegation that may lead to criminal
prosecution. H. A. Foster, patrolman,
was suspended by Chief of Police Slover
yesterdar and complaint against him
will be filed with the executive Board.
Foster Is accused of Improper con
duct against a young girl who was en
trusted to his care to be escorted home,
two weeks ago. A family brawl had
occurred In Sellwood. and when police
man arrested the participants, they also
took to the police station the girl, to
be held aa a witness. Captain Bailey
thought It WOUia Dm injurious nu Mil- .
. a hniil her. and Instructed '
lirvTVMi J - " "
Foster to act as her escort to her home.
Starting out with his charge, the po
liceman found that tha streetcars had
stopped running. He therefor con
ducted the girl to a down-town rooming-house.
The girl reported tha facts
and has filed an affidavit, but refuse
to commence criminal proceedings.
Foster's offense against the depart
ment Is based on his failure to take
the girl homo as directed or to report
bis reason for not doing so. He has
not been long on th force, and hs
been employed on tho North End beat.

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. Itrlggs. former superin
tendent of th Llnnton rockplle. charged
with aiding prisoners to escape.
Th prisoner who enjoyed th
clemency of Governor West Is Jesse
Merrltt. who. after being sentenced for
vagrancy, broke Jail and ran away to
see his dying wife at the County Hos
pital. 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

There have been several reports
lately of articles being lost In large

the woman who stole tho diamonds has

that she entered tho store to do shop
