in THE FIELD OF LABOR
CONTRACTORS AND ELECTRICAL
wIREMEN ADJUST DIFFICULTIES.
Mitchell Retention Committee Meets
To-Day to Perfect Plans-MitcheH
and Polftfcs-Labor Notes.

The contractors for electrical wiring
work in the city acquiesced to the terms
of the striking inside workers in the Elec-
trical Workers Union yesterday. agreed
to the scale and the strike was declared
off. The terms Of the agreement provide
for an increase in pay from 321z cents an
hour to 50 cents an hour, as demanded by
the strikers: but in the contract a clause
has been inserted providing that the jour
neymen electrical workers must be up to
certain standard in proficiency. and capable
of answering intelligently several technl-
cal questions before they shall be recog-
nized by employers as skilled workmen.
The strike was in progress only few
days, but in that time the four leading
contractors for that class of work In the
city were completely tied up and the 200
or more workmen of the craft in the city
idle. These men will go to work to-mor-
row morning and the contractors will be
enabled to proceed with work which they
have in hand.
w. A. Royse, one of the leading con-
tractors of the city. said last night that the
strike was off and the question has been
amicably adjusted. He said the concession
in the wage question had been made but
the contractors took comfort in the
thought that the phraseology of the wage
scale adopted was beneficial to both en-
ployers and employees. He said that the
fact that in the future contractors will only
have TO pay the price for skilled labor
when they secure IL, is just and a help TO
the contractors. Men who are competent
10 earn the IS cents an hour will be cheer
fully paid that sum, they are worth 1T,
Mr. Royse said, but the contractors would
dislike very much TO pay the price for
bunglers and incompetent workers in the
trade.

MITCHELL RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
Meeting To-day Will Complete Plans
for Greeting the Leader.

The Mitchell reception committee will
meet this morning in Room 10, Union block,
and complete its work of arranging for the
reception to John Mitchell on Jan. 10. Now
that the day has been decided and the time
of Mitchells return definitely fixed, the
committee has the greater part of its work
to perform. The subcommittee, which will
assist in the reception of the speakers, dec
orations and incidental details of the or
ganization of the reception scheme, will be
worked out to-day and possibly the names
of the committees announced. The COM
mittee from the Elks Lodge has been named
and one from the Central Labor Union been
selected.
The result of the letters of invitation of
President Feltman, chairman of the recep-
ton committee and president of the Central
Labor Union, to representative labOring
men and manufacturers of the State to at
tend the celebration, will soon be known,
but until they are heard from no estimate
of the special attendance of outside people
who want to see and hear the miners
leader can be made.
Indianapolis will furnish its quota of citi-
Zens TO meet Mitchell. The mayor will be
the head of the delegation and from him the
formal welcoming speech will be heard in
Tomlinson Hall. The laborers of the city,
organized and unorganized, will be there,
and representatives from them-F'eltman.
Gould, Perkins, Barry, Stoddard and others
will be conveniently close to President
Mitchell to extend TO him the feeling of af-
lection. esteem and good will that exists in
the city.
Jan. 10, the day of the reception, Is also
the day of the first session of the mine
workers convention. Nearly all the dele
gates will have reached the city by that
date and will join in the celebration. Ma
tional and international officers of the or
CARNATIONS will be here on special invi-
tations, and some of them will be asked to
congratulate Mr.. Mitchell on his successful
conduct of the great strike.
The label representatives of the big unions
the hatterS. shirt makers, shoe workers
and other trades little known in the city
will be here for two reasons. One of them
is to further the interests of the product of
union workmanship by insisting that the
miners take word back TO their locals that
the union label must be found on all stuff
to insure fair workmanship, and the other
to help Mr.. Mitchell believe that he is as
well thought Of in Indianapolis as he Is
at his real home in Illinois.
The details of the reception, together with
the plans for the miners delegates BAN
quet to be served in Tomlinson Hall will be
completed to-day, 1t is expected, and the
duties of the committee ended with its re-
port to be made to the Central Labor Union
on the meeting night a week from to-mor-
row.

CARRIED A FORGED CHECK.
Man Attempted to Use HI. p. WATSON
Name to Secure Money.

Name to Secure Money.
A man with a forged check for $3.50
signed by H. p. WATSON displayed consider
able energy yesterday in trying to have 1T
cashed. When Mr.. Wasson's attention was
called to it he at once called it a forgery.
The check was drawn in favor of Charles
Gibbs. The first place the man entered
was Kiser's grocery, at East and New York
streets. He purchased a bill of goods
amounting to sl.25 and rendered the
check in payment. When the clerk no.
ticed that it was signed by Mr.. WATSON
his suspicious were aroused. The clerk, in
order to hold the man until the police
could be notified, went TO the rear OF the
store to see the proprietor. The man with
the check became nettled at having to
wait and demanded that payment be made.
The clerk returned with the check and the
man, with an indignant look on his face,
left the store without taking the goods.
When the police arrived the man had gone,
but a description was given them. The
next heard of the man was at Crawford S
drug store, North and Pennsylvania streets
Here the man tried. to have the check
cashed by purchasing cigar. Mr.. Craw-
ford was also suspicious and told the man
that he could hardly cash the check. The
man then gave cents in payment for his
cigar and left the store with the same dis
play of Indignation.
Bicycle Policemen Lowe and Trimpe were
called TO w. f. Bowman's meat market, Sos
North Illinois street where ii was said a
man with a forged check had tried to have
it cashed. Mr.. Bowman said the man pur-
chased 81 worth of meat and then rendered
signed by III. z. WATSON, but he became
suspicious and said he could not under
stand how the man could get a check from
Mr.. WATSON. He questioned the man about
the check, but the latter did not care to
talk, except to say that his name was
Charles Gibbs.

Victor Andrews an Old Man, Comes
Safely Into Happy Harbor.

Victor Andrews and Josephine Andrews
were married for the second time at their
home, 1901 North Illinois street, yesterday
by the Rev. William III. Vogler. Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrews were divorced on the appli-
cation of Mrs. Andrews some years ago
under peculiar circumstances. He is
seventy-three years old now and Mrs
Andrews sixty-nine.
Some years ago Mr.. Andrews left his
home 10 go to Europe He was gone for
scme time and Unexpectedly and without
warning was taken very i'll. He had been
an invalid much OF the time since then
and, having not written to his family, was
thought to be either dead or in some place
where he would never be heard from. Mrs.
Andrews never lost faith in her husband
but few years ago il became necessary
10 her, because OF financial embarrass-
ments TO sell some of the real estate held
Jointly by them. II was impossible to le-
gally convey the property without the con-
sent and signature of the husband and
she had TO be legally declared a widow be-
fore deed executed by her would be valid
In order 10 overcome this technicalitv in
the law. she applied for a divorce and on
the ground of desertiOn was granted III and
consequently was enabled 10 dispose of the
property.
A few weeks ago Andrews returned 10
Indianapolis and with little search found
his wife and family. After finding Mrs.
Andrews. explanations of his prolonged alb
scence followed and also the information
was given him that he was no longer the
husband Of the woman he found He
learned. however. that she still loved him
and was willing TO be remarked. Some
thought was given TO an application for an
asnulment OF the divorce decree. but this
would have complicated the deeds to the
real estate. and the second marriage was
hit upon as a happy eNpedient.

port TO the G. l.. l.. will show why the
scheme was abandoned.
