Must Quit Jobs.

The agitation against the employ
ment of Greeks by the Milton Nursery

terest there. Some weeks ago the
Greeks received threatening letters
from some person or persons, telling
them to leave their jobs or they would
be severely dealt with by an organized
body which signed itself ''The Fedora
tion of Labor" The Greeks were
scared but were induced to return to
work.
Letters were received this week by
the nursery company, charging them
with urging the Greeks to hold their
jobs and threatening to injure the
plant by fire or otherwise, and also
threatening the Greeks with bodily
harm il these warnings are not heed
ed.
The letters are typewritten and are
purposely or otherwise, badly spelled.
The Greeks are much excited but state
their intention of remaining despite
the threats. with the nursery COM
pany. There are six of them and they
ale powerful, athletic men. 1t is said
that clue to the writer of the letters
bas been found.

cooperation from the country dis
tricts. Director Taylor nominated
Professor Klemme, Chairman Stone
seconded the nomination. The ques-
tion put, Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Stone
voted for Prof. Klemme, Mr.. Barrett
not voting.
Next in order came the election of
assistant principal and eighth grade
teacher. Mr. Barrett took the position
that an over plus Of teachers was be-
ing demanded. He wanted to know
what the principal would have to do
when he was given an assistant. and
also an eighth grade teacher. He re-
iterated that the number of pupils in
sight did not justify the employment
of SO many teachers. He stated that
he was speaking for the taxpayers. and
admonished the board that it would
be censured for its action.
M. T.. Watts, S. f. Wilson and B.
B. Richards made remarks in favor of
good high school, and after further
discussion, Prof. Mulkey was elected
to the position of assistant principal.

CONTRACT NOT KEPT
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph
Company Does Not Keep Faith
With Athena Patrons.

Two years ago, when the Farmers
Independent telephone lines were
merged with the Pacific States Tele-
phone and Telegraph oompany's sys-
tenn in this city the company's agent
contracted to put in new equipment
at the central office here.
Instead of putting in the new equip
ment as agreed, the obsolete switch
board. relegated from the Milton Office
when modern appliances were install
ed there. was shifted to the Athena
office and has been doing service after
fashion ever since.
The company's business at lis
point is perhaps greater than at any
other in the county, Pendleton except
ed. Yet in the face of this fact the
company has flagrantly disregarded its
contract and has given the people of
Athena and vicinity inadequate tele
phone service. The local operators
are conscientious and obliging and do
the best they can with the facilities
with which they are provided. and no
blame attaches to them.
The lines in this city cut across lots,
are tangled with tree limbs and are
otherwise in a demoralized state. The
company should be given TO under
stand that if it is to hold its franchise
here, it must give its patrons the con-
sideration due them.
Milton, Weston, Waitsburg and
other towns have first class equipment
and Athena, especially when the CON-
pany is under contract to furnish it,
should by concerted action demand
what is coming to her. At the present
time there is splendid field here for
au independent telephone service.
