CHICAGO, July 6. (By tho Asso
ciated Press) Railway shopmen
Avho walked off their Jobs last Sat-
i:urday played a lone hand In the rail
f strike today when fears that other
unions would Join the striking shop
I men were virtually dispelled,
ifet Tho first wide lift In railroad
I'-, strike ctouds showed yesterday when
I .maintenance of way employes who
ii. lncludo track workers and other
common labor, definitely abandoned
the idea of a walkout at this time.
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. Hooper, chairman
of tho United States labor board, W.
L. MoMenim, labor member of tho
board, and E. F. Grablo, president
of tho maintenance men; tho "big
three" In yesterday's conference. As
8 a result of tho holiday conference,
nearly 400,000 maintenance of way
men who for a week hovered on tho
verge of a strike, after voting over
whelmingly in favor of a walkout,
w'ill remain at work.
Maintenance of way men will stay
on the Job "under protest" against
tljp $60,000,000 cut In their wages,
pending negotiations for a readjust
ment of wage scales upon an appeal
by tho employes.
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. Many
roads were accepting new men for
work In the shops. .
Union officials predicted that
other classes of railway labor would
become Innoculatcd by tho shopmen's
strike and that the effect of the
walkout would begin to show on
transportation soon.
I Itlmutum Issued.
Strikfng shopmen of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad and
tho Burlington system, have been
given until July 10 to return to work.
After that date, according to the
railroads' notices, tho strikers will
forfeit all seniority rights and if
later re-employed will be taken on
as new employes.
Conflicting statements were mane
on tho strike situation on the Pacific
coast. Officials of the Southern Pa
cific said more than one-third of tho
-shopmen remained at their posts and
that others who had gone out were
returning. Some new men were
iihlred. Union officials reiterated
their statement that ninety per cent
rf the Rhnnmpn were out. TWO men

non-union men brought in to work,
and are holding the shops this af

MOSCOW, July 5. (By tho Asso
ciated Press) The soviet govern
ment's first internal loan is a suc
cess, according to the Russian news
papers, the ten million pood bread
loan having already been subscribed.
Although exact figures in the pro
vinces are lacking It appears that the
peasants have directly subscribed
4,000,000 poods, the workers 3,000,
000 and the state institutions 3,000, -000.
Russia's 1922 grain crops, .accord
ing to present estimates, will reach a
minimum of 3,500,000,000 poods (63,
000,000 tons) or 1,000,000,000 poods
more than those of last year. Acting
Premier Kameneff told the corres
pondent today.
From practically all sections of
Russia, except the north reports are
pouring into Moscow, showing that
the' grain is flourishing in ideal
weather beyond the fondest hopes of
early spring. If the yield Is as large
as expected it probably vill be Rus
sia's greatest crop since tho war.

mountains, according to State For
ester Fred E. Papo here today, tend
O'Reilto county reports 18 fires, all
under control at present, but out

ging operators having advocated; such
a course.

in Cowlitz county is tho most serious
blaze reported today. The fire has
been burning for somo time and late
yesterday got out of control and

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.
