POSTAL DENIESIT
OFFERED MEN RUN

Charges Of striking telegraphers
through an agent, had offered them
''all the whiskey and smokes they
wanted" as an inducement to return
to work, were emphatically denied
today by Postal officials.
The telegraphers alleged that an
emissary had circulated among the
strikers urging them to come back
and promising them free lunches, an
unlimited supply of whiskey and
cigars and cigarettes. Two of the
strikers, it is said. could not resist
the temptation and. returned to their
keys.
die Says Official
"This is a lie" said w. J. Durham,
cashier OF the Washington office of
the Postal. I'VE have done nothing
of the sort. outside of providing
lunches for the operators since the
first day OF the so-called strike. This
was done because we are moving
business with a skeleton force and
save time in that way.
The men are coming back OF their
own accord, two or three a day, and
I am sure that if the rest of them,
who are good men. but have been
misled, were not afraid of ridicuIe,
they, too, would come back. While
somewhat short-handed, our service
is not in any way crippled"
The strikers admitted that two Of
the men had gone back, but said they
were tempted back by the offer Of
whiskey.
Issue Statement.
The following statement was issued
today by the Postal Company:
Those members of the Employees
Association who joined the CONNER
cial photographers Union. whether
they struck or not, are no longer
members OF the association. We feel,
however. that they have been misled
and that many joined the union sim
ply for the sake of peace.
I'VE have accordingly decided to
permit them them to again become
members of the association without
break in the continuity of their serv-
ice on account of the strike, provided
they again apply in writing. This
time, however, We shall hope and ex-
pect that they will live up to the
promise they make in signing such ap-
plicatiOns and will not hereafter join
the union. The strike has collapsed
and is miserable failure
The Commercial TeIegraphers'
Union has been merely a burden on
our employees, who were required to
pay dues without accomplishing any
thing for their benefit On the other
hand, il has automatically taken them
out OF the employees association,
where they were entitled to sick and
death benefits without paying any
dues whatever. 1t would seem that
our employees will realize the time has
come to separate themselves from the
union permanently"

FINES ICEMAN S1OO
FOR SHROT WEIGHT

The heaviest penalty imposed upon
an iceman for cheating housekeepers
in serving them short-weight ice was
meted out by Judge Mcmahon in pO-
lice court today to Abraham Fair, col
ored, a dealer of 2104 l. street north
west, who was accused of not treat
ing customers fairly by George 9.
Wright, a weights and measures in
spector.
After denouncing the defendant as
Intentionally defrauding the public,
the court fined Fair 800, in lieu OF
which he will serve sixty days in Jail.
The ice dealer was serving his Gus

a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. Tie
scale which he used was held by the
court TO be antique, and it would not
weigh at all when tested.
