the subway and elevated car lines
struck today. and joining the striking
surface carmen.
Rioting continued at Kensington,
resulting in a clash in which shooting
occurred between the sailors from the
League Island navy yards and the
police.
Three hundred of the victims of the
last night riots are in the hospitals
and the number is being increased.
The subway lines from fifth to sixty
ninth streets are completely tied up.
Many Are Injured.
The attempt of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company to run its cars
with non-union men resulted last
night in number of riots. 1t was the
first effort to operate the lines at

to get the cars through the mobs they
were sent back to the barns. AT least
one hundred men were more or less
seriously injured in the rioting.
In the Kensington district, where
many mills are located, feeling ran
high. Mobs of men, women and chill
dren pulled the motormen and con-
ductors from their cars and beat them
severely. In many instances cars were
set on fire. The police were powerless
to control the strike sympathizers.
When they charged the mob it separ-
ated only to form again in the vicinity
of another car Several policemen
were injured.
Special police were rushed to every
elevated platform as soon as the strike
was declared on the elevated lines and
within thirty minutes some trains were
started by the strikebreakers. The
clash between the sailors and the po-
lice occurred after twenty men from
the navy yards had boarded the car
and yelled "scab" at the motorman.
The police attempted 10 arrest the
sailors and shooting followed. No
body was wounded and the marines
were driven back to the navy yards.
Several hundred special policemen,
half negroes, were sworn in today. Be-
cause he made no effort to stop the
rioting last night Lieut. John Skies
was suspended today by Director Clay
pending an investigation by the ariai
board.

clubs and different organizations to
come to the front and assist in in
creasing the fund.

Postmaster ]. T. Brown gets 500
increase in his annual salary as a re-
suit Of the healthy increase in the
business of the Pendleton postoffice
during the past year. The report OF
the office for the fiscal year ending
March 81 showed the business for the
office to have been s20,675.75 for the
year. Previous to this year the an
nual business had been under the
$4,000 mark and the postmaster re-
ceived but s25OO per annum. He will
now draw s2600, while Assistant
Postmaster Harry Rees will be given
$4,000 per annum.
Some idea of how the business Of
the Pendleton office is increasing
may be gained from the following:
For the fiscal year ending March 81,
1908, the total business amounted to
s,409.S7, the increase for the year
being s2260.3S, or a trifle over IL
per cent. Three years ago, when the
last previous increase was made in
the salary of the postmaster, the Of
flee did but $4,000 business during
the year. Consequently it will be seen
that rs per cent gain has been
made during the last three years. The
last previous increase was made lust
at the close of Lot Livermore's term
as postmaster.
The following is detailed list of
the salary changes for this state.
Pendleton included:
Corvallis, $4,000 to s24OO; Eugene.
$500 to s27OO; Hillsboro. s17OO to
$500; Hood River, $4,000 to s2400;

not be until a slight rearrangement
of the high school work is COM
pleted. The board is now looking for
a strong man to place at the head of
the science department, as it is in
tended to make this department even
stronger in the future than it has
been in the past.
The board is also arranging to
strengthen the high school normal
course. This has been maintained
for the past two years, but now that
the normal school is to be abandoned,
for two years at least, an effort is to
be made TO make the Pendleton high
school take the place OF the normal
school inso far as it is possible to do
so.
