that out of 105 men only two now are

A feature of the strike has been an
arrantrement whereby farm calls for

union officials in cases Where the union
shops could not do the work. Mechanics
bave been sent into the country in many
cases to repair tractors, spray pumps,

One aim, the officials of the orran

SERVICE TO BE CONTINUOUS
Yamhill Telephone Company Order
ed to Keep Open at All Hours.
SALEM, Or., April 1 9. (Special.)
The Yamhill Telephone company is in
structed" to Atablish a 24-hour con
tinuous service, instead of a 15-hour
service, 4n an order of the Public Serv
ice Commission today. Other outstand
ing features of the order are as follows:
Sufficient revenue to meet the additional
expense is provided by an adjustment of
rates which at the iud time eliminates
several features of unfair discrimination
which appear on the -old schedules. Here
after stockholders must pay the same rate
as non-stockholders and business bouses pro
ducing; heavy traffic- upon the lines must
pay higher rates than residences. Provlsipn
Is also made for a distinction in charges
between multi-party lines and those lines
upon which the number of connections is
limited. The company Ss required, hereafter
to construct and own all lines for service
to patrons tn the town of Yamhill, unless
in special cases such requirement mlfht be
found to oe unreasonable, ana to own or
rent all telephone instruments connected 3i-
rcetiv to its lines within the city. The
latter provision permits any subscriber to
enJov the privilege of services from this
company without, as in the past, having; to
make permanent investment in telepnone
equipment. .
