Representative Brundige (Dem., Ark.) made an attack upon Presidential extravagance, condemning the proposed fifty thousand dollar stable for the White House and the $25,000 for presidential traveling expenses. The White House guard of forty policemen also inflpmed his ire. Replying General Grosvenor (Rep., Ohio), defended the President, claiming him to be a most democratic chief executive. The Ohioan amused the House by poking fun at Neill and Reynolds, the packing house investigators, and then startled them with this statement: "I am glad to see a president reaching that height of efficiency who cannot be cheated by a horse jockey. I think It is a great thing." Pullman Car Co. Assailed. When the Brundidge-Grosvenor battleship subsided, Representative Prince (Rep. Ills.) took up the question of the Pullman Car Compaany being left out by the conferees of the railroad rate bill, declaring that the country will hold the House responsible for granting an exclusive monopoly for transporting millions of people on sleeping cars, if the Pullman Car Company is not included as a common carrier. With Representative Gaines (Dem., Tenn.) and John Sharp Williams (Dem., Miss.) and Representative vahn (Rep., Calif.) as the chief ac tors the second scrimmage of the day followed over the cuestlon of relieving California by granting a drawback of the duties on the building materials for -a one year period.

LDERS' STRIKE IS AVERTED HERE Men and the Companies Effect a Compromise on the Rate of Wages. TERMS NOT GIVEN OUT IT IS SAID THE MOULDERS WERE ORDERED BY NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS TO STRIKE BUT THEY REFUSED. At a meeting held Wednesday night by the local moulders' union ,a compromise on the rate demanded bv the union was received from the Gaar, Scott & Company, the Richmond City Mill Works, the Wayne Works and Robinson & Company. After considerable discussion the compromise rate was accepted and all the differences that have existed between the moulders and the manufacturers are now things of the past. Just what the compromise rate is could not be learn ed. Officers in the union refused to state the rate adopted. Officials of the foundries also refused to state on what basis the settlement was made. S. S. Strattan, Jr., of Gaar, Scott & Company said last night "The terms agreed upon by the moulders and the local manufacturers are satisfactory to both, but I do not care to state the terms agreed upon." The moulders employed at the Hoosier Drill plant effected a compromise with that company several days ago. It was stated last nlglit that the local moulders were notified by officers in the national organization that unless they went out on the moulders' strike which is general throughout this part of the country, that they would be expelled from the union. If this is true the local union will probably get into bad repute with the national organization for accepting a compromise on the rate demanded. Dr. Murray Was Killed. Dr. Alfred L. Murray, of Delaware County, well kmWn Jn Hagerstown and in New Paris, was killed yesterday by falling under the wheels of a traction car which he was attempting to board, near his home in Shideler, Ind.
