Railroad Labor Skirmish Grows Near Deschutes Canyon
The report notes 1000 to 1200 workers on the Harriman round with Twohy Brothers claiming about 50 men on contested ground east of Shaniko. Daily progress runs 100 to 150 new workers as Porter forces total around 150. Entrance to Lean ranch gained by Porter Brothers by wire-cutting while Twohy Brothers resist. Both firms drain labor markets, with about 4000 men expected along the Deschutes canyon within a week for the rival roads.
