Persistent rumors are current In
railroad circles of the Harrlman sys
tem that federal Indictments are pend
ing against some of the former em
ployes of the system who have been
let out for violating various rules of
railroading.
The rumored Indictments, however,
have to do entirely with Washington
and West End division men. It la said.
This Is all rumor, but it Is authora
lively asserted that the railroad em-'
ployes and traveling men have been
called to Portland from Sound points
and even nearer home and rumor has
leaked out that actions of railroad
men was the chief nature of questions

The list of conductors running out
of Pendleton who have lost their po
sitions either permanently or tem
porarily now includes five of the sev
en on the Washington division, three
on the dlvlKlon east of Pendleton and
five on the west-end division. A re
port ii railroad circles has it that
some of the remaining conductors
were reported by the spotters" but
that the company could not discharge
all because of the impairment to its
service which would follow.
The positions made vacant will be
filled by promotions. The runs are
bulletined and fifteen days must
