trolley Strike Ties Up North
Jersey, But Little Disorder
Continued from page -

With the exception of one mail
trolley, also used to transport some
track workers, who do not belong to
the union, the entire complement of
the Public Services cars vas tied up
hard and fast this morning.
The single operating trolley was
used to transport mail from New
Brunswick t o South River and South
Amboy, Fords and sections between.
On the first trip this morning it a r
ried a gang OF the track workers to
South River from New Brunswick. 1t
was one of the cars of the Raritan
division n was manned by a super
intendent as motorman and an in
structor as conductor.
No attempt has been made here to
place strikebreakers aboard cars, to
operate them and the only surface
cars operating today in this city are
those of the Jersey Central Traction
Company to South Amboy and the
shore resorts, with a shuttle line run
ming out State street to the Wood
bridge creek bridge.
Strikebreakers were expected in
an attempt to run the cars, but no
cured from officials of hat city or
from the Public Service. Mayor
FRANC Hague, of Jersey City, has de-
clared that he will not allow strike
breakers to work in the territory I'M
der his jurisdiction. The union men
professed to have heard nothing about
strikebreakers being employed and
the leaders declared they would do
nothing to stop them if they attempt
ed to run the cars.
Buses and other passenger carry
ing vehicles sprang into prominence
here and at New Brunswick this
morning and from all indications the
strike had not seriously hampered the
transportation of persons about the
county. In New Brunswick there arc
innumerable bus lines operating to
carry employees to and from the
plants in that section of the county.
Local workers depended upon rail
road lines to take care of them II
there was not a sufficiency of buses

EYES OF THE WORLD ON
ARMY OF OCCUPATION

Among the recent letters received
from the boys in the army service is
an interesting one from Private En-
nest w. Hogue TO his mother. Mrs.
P. N. Hogue. Ernest is with the End
Field Battalion, Signal Corps. OF the
First Division, U. S. army, and had
reached Alsace when the letter was
written. After joining their division,
Earnest wrote, they hike one day
and rest day, and 1t is pretty tough
going on account Of the heavy packs
they carry.
The young soldier states he has
seen more than any human could
ever describe in a hundred years, not
even a Cobb or a Blythe. They passed
graves of all nations, and some that
needed graves. Some Of the boys
got souvenirs off the last, Ernest
stated, but he didn't care for them
himself. They meet many war pris'
oners on their march returning to
France. This means home for some
of them, but for the most their homo
is gone.
Our captain told us we are to be
with four crack divisions each oi
French and British troops" he furth'
er stated, so We would have to be
mighty neat in our dress in everi
way, for the eyes of all would be or
us. We ought to be the happiest
bunch on earth, and guess the mos'
OF us are. The Others who saw ser
vice tell US we are sitting on the
world
Ernest further stated that he hasn'
got cooties yet, but is awaiting an at
tack any hour.

ASHLAND BOY HEARD FROM
AFTER LONG INTERVAL

j. Farlow received long looked
for letter last week from his son. FL
bert. who is with the 65th artillery
in France. This letter was particu-
larly welcome to Mr.. and Mrs. Far
low, as they had not heard either di-
rectly or indirectly from Ebert since
the 65th had gone into action at the
front, and they had begun to feel
very much alarmed over the absence
Of news. Ebert wrote, however, De-
cember S, and stated that he was well
and anticipated a speedy return home.
The 65th, he said, had turned in
their equipment and we're at small
port awaiting embarkation, and he
hoped they would be home by Christ
mas or New Years. This wish has
not been realized, but indications all
point that the 65th will soon be on
its way If It has not already started.

TRAIN KILLS MAN ON
KLAMATH FALLS BRANCH

An unknown man was run over by
a Southern Pacific train on the Klam-
ath Falls branch road last Saturday
night and the body was so cut to
pieces that so far it has not been
identified. Coroner Turner was
called to Weed Monday to hold an
inquest in the case, but little or
nothing could be learned. An oil
watch and razor were the only con-
tents of the dead mans pockets.
The body was discovered Monday
morning by trackwalker at Morri-
son, II miles from Weed. There had
been a heavy snow and the first evil
dence Of the accident noticed by the
trackwalker was a hand and part of
mans head showing above the
snow in the center of the track.
1t is thought the man was struck
Saturday evening by a light helper
engine when il was returning to
Weed after assisting a passenger
train up the grade, as n piece Of ov-
eralls was found on the lower part
of the engine. The single engine
was followed by freight that night
and the body must have been run
over by several other trains before
II was found Monday morning.
An unclaimed suitcase at Morrison
may lead to some information as to
the identity of the man. The name
Globe was on the suitcase and the
officials hope to ferret out some in
formation from this,-Yreka News.

37th Engineers
Are in Germany

l.. C. Robertson, of the Square
Deal ranch near Ashland, Is
one of the first Ashland boys to write
to his relatives from Germany. Mr..
Robertson is with Co. F, 37th Engi-
neers, and is with the army OF Occu-
patton in Germany. In fact Mr.. Rob-
ertson's company is ahead of the ad-
vance column, and are the first Amer
lean soldiers to 90 that far and the
first the Germans have seen. The
engineers are travelling by their own
train, Mr.. Robertson writes. and 20
ahead of the column, as the latter
hike 1t by foot. They expect to- be
ahead all the way to Coblenz or Col.
ogne, whichever point they are going.
At present Mr.. Robertson said they
are on the Cologne road and they
hope they will go there, as they may
get a chance to battle in cologne
water.
when we first went up to the
town (Honnigen), the people would
run into their homes when they saw
us and peep thru the blinds at u.s.
Mr.. Robertson wrote. 81 suppose
they expected us to treat them as
they did the Belgians and French.
Several ex-soldiers we met on the
street snapped their heels together,
stood at attention and saluted US.
They have done this all along the
road, either salute or take off their
hats.
There are several German speak
ing men in our company. and | was
standing with one of them this eve
ming while he was talking TO Ger
man railroad man here. He told me
later that the German asked If we had
our rifles and ammunition with u.s.
and when he was told we had. he
said, There is no need for rifles or
bullets. All you need to do up here
is to eat and sleep. The Germans
are thru And those We have seen
look II"
This letter was written December
5 at Honnigen, Germany, where the
engineers had arrived about foul
hours ahead of the advance column
which was left in Gerolstein. Mr.
Robertson states that they do no
know when they will get home, bu'
when they do they will be one happy
bunch.

School Men Want
State Law Changed

County school superintendent OF
Oregon, who were in session in Sa-
lem last week, have decided to make
recommendations to the legislature
for changes in the laws relative to
the raising OF money and the distri-
button Of funds In school districts.
Under the present law the county
court is required each year to levy a
tax sufficient to produce at least 81
per capita for each person of school
age in each district of the county.
The superintendents propose to have
the minimum amount raised to $40
per capita.
Another proposed change would af-
feet the present requirement that n
county superintendent first allow
each district 500 when he begins to
make the distribution of funds. This
amount the superintendent propose
TO increase to 5000. In the past coun-
ty superintendents have also allowed
each district s5 for each teacher at
tending the institute, and It is pro-
posed to increase this to SIS. At the
present time the remainder OF the
distributions Is on a basis OF the num-
ber Of persons, in districts, of school
age, as shown by the annual school
census. A change will be recommend
ed that this distribution be made, not
on the basis OF the census. but that
half be made on the basis of attend
ance Of pupils at school, and the other
half on the number of teachers in
the district.
The objection cited against the
present system is that some married
women, not yet 30 years old, but
who have children, draw school mon
ey, and that many young men who
are under 20, and not in school, also
draw money for the districts. This
change, II is argued, would place a
premium on attendance at school.
