Wharton blamed the federal gov

ton. Wharton held Washington's a.
lay in handling wage adjustments
was responsible for railmen's Inn
patience that had resulted in the in
surgent strike President Wilson,
Wharton said, had neglected to name
the board to adjust wage matters and
the workers caught between low pay
and the high cost of living, tired OF
waiting, had walked out.
However, Wharton urged all mem
bers to take no part in the present
''insurgent'' strikes and expressed
hope the strikers would soon see
their mistake and return to work.
The American Federation Of Labor
stands by its contracts, Wharton EN-

SCHOOL TEACHER
MADE FORTUNE
Sold His Part Of Lease in Oil Field
for $4,000 and Has Now
Given Up His Old
Occupation.

DESDEMONA, Texas, April 12.-
Not only schools, but school teach ers
have fattened on Texas Oil leases. AS
illustrat ton, A. l.. Steele, teacher IN
the rural district school on the out
skirts of Desdemona is cited. He
sold out his part OF $500 lease Tor
100000.
This pedagogue picked up his lease
before the Duke discovery well in the
Comanche field came in. Three hun
dred dollars was the price paid, but
few days later he suffered change
of heart and hurried over to East
land to persuade some of his friends
to share the investment. AS result
he had less than 500 tied up in the
tract when the Duke well gushed oil
clear over the derrick one midnight
in August q year ago
Immediately that school teacher
lease was worth thousands, but he
held on till new wells nearer multi
piled the figures to the amount named.
This young fellow is no longer teach
ing school. He's an oil magnate.
