IN WHITE HOUSE AGAIN
Vacation Ended, President Roosevelt
Returns to Washington.
His Advent Marks the Beginning Of thu
Busy Season in Legislative and
Administrative Matters.

Washington, D. C.-President Roose.
velt, accompanied by his family, Secre-
tary and Mrs. Loeb, and members Of
the executive staff, who spent the
summer at Oyster Bay, have returned
to Washington. Postmaster-G General
Payne, Major Symons and one or two
other intimate friends of the President
were at the station when the special
train arrived, but the President and
the members Of his family were driven
Immediately to the White House,
where they spent the evening quietly.
The President received no callers e1-
cept Major SyRsns, who as Superin-
tendent Of Public Buildings and
Grounds, is Major-Domo Of the White
House. As only three members of the
Cabinet are in the city, it is not prob
able that q formal Cabinet meeting
will be held this week. Many persons
are In Washington, however, with the
object Of seeing the President on vari-
GUS business and political matters, and
Mr.. Roosevelt will probably have a
busy time Of it.
When the President was asked If he
had enjoyed his vacation, he said:
II did. I had a bully time. Never
felt better in my life. am ready for
thirteen months more Of hard work"
The report has been current recently
that President Roosevelt, in view Of
the resolutions adopted by the Cen
tral Labor Union in Washington con-
corning the case Of Foreman w. II.
Miller Of the Government Bindery,
will confer with labor union leaders
in regard to final disposition Of the
case. This report, 1t can be said au-
thoritatively, is not true.
The President will confer with no.
body about the Miller case, in 80 far
as 1t Is concerned with the principle
set forth in his correspondence with
Secretary Cortelyou, when he ordered
the reinstatement Of Miller in the
Government service.
That principle, as enunciated in Mr..
Rooseyelt's letter to his secretary, is
that there shall be no discrimination
against the employment Of non-union
men in the Government departments.
Mr.. Roosevelt regards that point.
which is clearly defined at the very
opening Of the Miller case, and which
is. in fact, the only real point at issue,
as definitely settled, and any at
tempt to get the President to reverse
himself, and declare for Afiller's dis
missal, as the Central Labor Unions
resolutions ask, will be futile.
Entirely aside from the principle in
volVed in the Miller case, the Presi-
dent may, however, have to reconsider
the case on its merits. That is, he may
have to pass on it in the light Of the
evidence which the union may present
In support Of its claim that Miller is
unfit morally for employment in the
Government Printing Office. but so
far as the principle Of unionism is in
volved In the case, Mr.. Roosevelt will
not consider it further.

Pittsburg, Pa.-George Worthington
Garwood, wealthy coal broker, sixty
five years old, shot and killed Hilda
Vogel, twenty-five years old. and then
killed himself in a room at No. III

is said, he became infatuated with
Hilda Vogel, who was waitress In the
restaurant where Garwood took his
meals.
Since then Garwood has frequently
shown his jealousy over attentions
shown the girl by other men. Garwood
took rooms at the Moultrie House in
July and introduced the woman as
his wife.

most prominent in Fayette County.

About 1000 Employees Over Country G
on Strike.

About 1000 Employees Over Country Go
on Strike.
New York.-The first strike of type
founders in thirty years has gone into
effect, involving about. 1000 men here
and il San Francisco. Chicago, st.
Louis, Cincinnati. Philadelphia and
Boston. About 300 men are supposed
to be affected in this city.
The strike was ordered in Chicago by
President Nurnburger, of the Interna-
tional Typefounders' Union, and the
order was telegraphed to the other
cities.
According to Vice-President O'Alara,
Of the international Union, who is an
employe Of the Bruce Type Foundry in
Great Jones street. the strike. while oS-
tensibly for new wage scale. is really
for a recognition of the union. At
conference held between the employing
typefounders and the union at the
Park Avenue Hotel on May p. a new
agreement was submitted which in
cluded a clause providing that If the
union could not supply enough men the
employers could fill the gaps as they
pleased. The employers, he said, would
not agree to this, but submitted to a
contract to be signed by the men as in
dividuals. The union wouldn't have
this, so no agreement was signed, and
now a strike for union conditions mas
been ordered.
R. w. Nelson, President Of the
American TypeFoundry in Jersey City,
will take charge Of the strike situation
for the employers.
He said that no concessions would
be made to the men, and that found.
ries all through the country would
stand together in resisting the de-
mands. This company, he said. had
sufficient type on hand to last for some
time
