Credit for averting a rail strike, which threatened to become general among all classes of railway labor, except the 'big four" brotherhoods b and telegraphers, was generally con ceded to Ben W.

At many rail centers strikers have been notified they will forfeit all rights and consideration for future employment if they failed to return to their Jobs immediately.

The south generally continues quiet although the jepublieans are ac tive. . The government forces forming the garrison at Uroadford have capitulated to the republicans, whoso forces after a short engagement also captured tho barracks at Patricks Well. CORK, July 5. (By Associated Press). A statement issued from the republican headquarters at Mallow de scribing the military operations in Dublin, represents the republicans as holding important positions in O'Con- nell street, Parnell square and eke- where in that city with intermittent exchanges -of firing and but slight cas ualties. Whllo the free stato troops holding the- principal barracks on the south side of the city aro In a strong posi tion there it is emphasized that vital strategic points aro also held by the republicans. Considerable military activity is re ported in southern Dublin county. The communique declares that the Engirsh are handing over huge quantities of armored transports, arms and equip ment to the free staters. It Is claimed that large territories in mid-Limerlck are under the undisputed control of the republicans and that a flying column, after entering Limerick city and occu pying the barracks and several other strong positions, is negotiating with a view to avoiding armed conflict In the city. 10 In a recent letter from the public service commission of the Stato of Oregon to A. J. Crose of Drown and White, this city, It is stated that the law docs not require that licenses' to carry passengers be purchased by per sons transporting berry or fruit pick ers and thinners to and from or chards. An opinion which has Just been rendered by the office of the attor ney general reads as follows: "In the instance under discussion I as sume that the motor vehicles are proporly licensed to do the business of transporting property for hire, that they incidentally carry persons to and from orchards and herry fields, but that the compensation charged therefor is paid by 'the or chard or berry field owners and Is the same whether few or many per sons ride. In effect tho orchard or berry field owners hire the motor vehicles and drivers a'nd transport their own employees to and from the fields without charging such em ployees any compensation therefor. "It Is my opinion that in such cases the provisions of chapter 10, general laws of Oregon, special session, 1921, do not apply, and that It Is not neces sary for truck operators, under such circumstances, to obtain a permit to carry passengers." , FORCED TO QUIT PETITION FOR SHERIFF RECALL FILEDTHiS A. M. H. A.. Canaday and Ashland Minister Present Petition to County Clerk With 1700 Names Five Days Allowed For Checking Over Names. Petitions for the recall of Sheriff Charles 10. Terrill were fl'ed with the county clerk this morning, and. with them wero also petitions nominating I). M. Lowe, farmer and fair exhibit collector, to make tho nice as the re call candidate. The petitions wero filed by tho Rev. W. .ludson Oldl'ield, pastor of thr Congregational church of Ash land, Stella Leavllt, said to represonl tho W. C. T. U. of Ashland, and Min nlo L'ryant said to represent the W. C. T. V. of this city. Tho petitioning party were accompanied by Attoruoy II. A. Canaday and Frank Redden of this ciy, and two women. It was c'aimed by those having the recall petitions In their chargo that 1700 names had been signed. It is claimed that a large per cent of tho signers wore women, and that tho largest number of names wore scour ed from Ashland precincts. From this 1 700 names tho signatures of about 2 00 signers, who have filed written and telephonic requests that their n a i lira bo withdrawn, will he stricken, and it is predicted that as many more will send in similar re quests, at once. To Check Names Tho county clerk will check over the list of names with the registration curds, and a'l not logal voters v; ill have their names removed. Friends of the sheriff claim they know of a number of signatures who are not within this provision of tho law. The law provides for this checking and allows five days therefor. Under the law, tho official whoBe recall is sought, is given five dayB to resign, which will not come to pass In this instance, as Sheriff Terrill haB announced he will not. If tho check ing shows the required number of names 1235, It Is then the duty of the county clerk, to call a special olection within 2 0 days, which would bring It tho latter part of tho laBt week of this month. No specific charges aro filed against Sheriff Terrill, the recall be ing based upon the following allega tions: "Non-performance of the dutlos of his office," "For malfeasance In offlco as sot forth In, tho published roport of tho 1921 grand Jury, of which Mr. J. W. fildon was foreman." Sheriff Terrill Bald this morning, that "I heard Rev. Oldflold said he had enough affidavits to Bond me to tho penitentiary, but ho would not file them." Tho names of tho sign ers of theso affidavits are not offi cially known. For the lust year, a new rumor has been sprung dully against tho sheriff, always embrac ing some phase of tho prohibition laws, and, it is said the aflfdavits In question relterato nothing but gos sip. It is also reported that tho filing of tho recall petition will haston the development of other more or less Interesting events, which will act In the naturo of a bomb. llecall Opimsltion Strong Opposition to the recull is wide spread and growing, as attested by the number who have and will with draw their signatures, upon tho fol lowing grounds: That tho expenditure of between $3,000 and $4,000 for the special election, Is not Justified by any pos sible results to be gained; That if the sheriff is guilty of doro lictlon, the proper place to adjust tho Issue, Is In tho courts, and not in the political fields; and, That there Is no evidenco against the Bherlff except a mass of gossip long fanned, and that the recall Is dis guised as a reform movemont, for the venting of political spite by dis gruntled and disappointed ofifec soekers. It Is also the general opinion, that with sentiment against the recall as it Is today, and anything like a nor mal vote, it will lose by a substantial majority. Coincident with the recall of Sher iff Terrill, there Is a strong demand, particularly from tho fanning dis tricts, that a recall be filed ugulnst County Judge Gardner, tho com plnlnts ranging from the Hank of Jacksonville failure to small details of the administration of county af fairs. Protests against the county court have been as persistent, hut not as loud as those agulnst the sheriff's office. If a recall Is filed against the county court, legal actTon will be tak ne to Instruct tho county clerk, to de lay the special election, so both can be held the same day, without the double expense.
