STRIKE At THE WHITE
HOUSE COMES TO AN lind
Employers Concede De-
mandS OF Electric Workers.
Required That Rules of the Union Be
Adhered To-A Short-Lived
Disagreement.

The strike of the electrical workers
employed on the White House improve
ments proved to be a very short-lived
affair, as the men returned to work yes
terday after only one days loss of
time.
In response to an inquiry at the White
House construction office yesterday, it
was stated that barely half dozen
men We're affected, and that as soon as
the matter had been brought to the at
tention of the proper official in charge
of the work an adjustment was quickly
reached.
To Enforce Rules.
At a meeting of the Central Labor
Union Monday evening report of the
matter was made by one of the workers
in question, n delegate from the Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers Union.
local No. 26, who announced that the
men had gone on strike to secure the
enforcement of their demand that the
local rules Of the union be adhered to
in all White House work.
IN regard 10 the action OF the elec-
trical workers, Superintendent French's
assistant, in charge during the tempo
rary absence of his chief, said:
THE whole matter was amicably and
quickly adjusted as soon as it was
brought to the attention OF the proper
official of the firm. There are often
conditions arising which cannot be ar
ranged on the spot because there may
not be anybody there with the authority
from the firm to make a final settle
ment. This matter was reported to our
New York Office. and just as soon as our
manager there was reached he fixed up
the matter without any further ado.
Fair Treatment Intended.
There has never been any desire to
treat any of the workmen in any other
than the fairest possible manner. as
this quick arrangement shows. There
are only a handful of electrical workers
now engaged in the building. In com
parison with the numbers in some of
the other trades represented, and their
temporary absence has not affected the
progress of the work in general.
I'VE have always had the good will of
our workmen, and this incident has not
changed IT, The electrical workers said
they would have to ask compliance with
their rules or they could not go on.
AS we could not give them the desired
answer without consulting the New York
office they went on strike. Now they
have returned. and that settles it,

FREAK OF LIGHTNING.
Threatened to Destroy Beaumont Oil
Wells, But Went By.

BEAUMONT. Tex. July 2e.-After
threatening for q few moments to de-
stroy the best part of Spindle Top. a
fire started by lightning went out of
Its own accord early this morning.
Lightning ignited the derrick over the
Palestine Beaumont Company's well and
spread to q small settling tank, but after
1t had scorched the derrick and burned
the gas off the oil in the tank, 1t died
away before a terrific downpour of rain.
The we'll is located in the midst of
veritable forest of derricks, and the
ignition of several wells would have
been inevitable had the fire gained much

Involved in a Row.

Because of his excellent record, the
then ex-sailor was given a position on
the local force and assigned to the
Eighth precinct, under Lieutenant Jor
dan. He acquitted himself excellently
for about a year, but last New Year
night became involved in a row on
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest. near
Twelfth Street, and was taken to the
First precinct station.
Upon learning that he was an officer,
the sergeant in charge stripped him
of his equipment and suspended him,
pending an investigation by the police
inspectors. The case was tried and
Lawler fined. Not long afterward he
became involved in more trouble, and
this time his actions resulted in his
dismissal.
After his dismissal Lawler disap-
peared, and although every effort was
made by the local authorities to To-
cate him. they proved unavailing. The
news received in the above dispatch
from Norfolk was the first intimation
his friends in Washington have re-
ceived of his whereabouts since his dis
appearance.

A Royal Road to wealth.

When a certain late shah of Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money, he had quite unique method
of filling his purse. He would go to
the market, where, after examining
the shops, he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would say,
"Will you take me in as Il partner in
your business for the day" The of
fer was, of course, eagerly accepted
The shah would take his seat near the
shop entrance and say to his courtiers,
whom he always took with him on
these occasions: "Now, I'm salesman.
Who'll buy" The latter, not daring to
refuse the offers of the royal mer-
chant, set about clearing the shop of
its contents, paying sometimes ESQ for
goods that We're not worth FLO. No
one was allowed to beat down prices
or to leave the place without making
purchases. When everything was sold,
the shah had list of the cost price Of
each article made out and Loyalty
shared with the shopkeeper the
amount of the profit realized.

A Queer Trnnsaction.

Sir Arthur Sullivan discovered at
Monte Carlo one time that certain res
taurant proprietors had way of reg
ulating their charges with the appear
ance and standing of their customers.
When lunching alone, Sir Arthur was
in the habit of frequenting one partic-
ular place where he knew to q centime
what the prices were.
One day there sat at the table adjoin-
ing his own wealthy Russian noble
man. Upon asking for his bill the
composer found that the prices were
exorbitantly high. He sent for the
proprietor and demanded an explana-
tion.
The man, an Italian, recognized Sir
Arthur as an influential client and
was profuse in his apologies. He ex-
planned that the mistake lay with the
cashier. Going over the items to which
exception was taken, the proprietor
said: 1.-THE convert l take him off d.
rectly. and the butter l charge him to
the grand duke. He not notice It,"
The idea Of charging to the grand
duke an item against whose extortion-
ate price another customer protested
always struck the great composer as q
decidedly humorous way Of getting out
of the difficulty.
