HENRY B1SCH0FF, THE BANKER, BEFORE THE SIM
ATE SUBCOMMITTEE.
NEW YORK, Sept. .5-Mr. Henry Bischon, the
German banker, was a witness before the Senate
subcommittee on labor and educ alton to-day.
He testified that the hours OF labor here We're
shorter than in Germany. The employers should
be urged to ind time to study the interests OF
their employees II this were the case there
workingmen in Anne rica did better work than
those In Germany, but their homes were not az
comfortable, and as consequence they were dis.
satisfied after they got through with their daily
toll. II one half OF the millions deposited In saw.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HOMES
the working people would be more contented and
the community great deal better OF. Moral
training would DO more TO prevent strikes than
legislation. When employers treated their work
men In kindlier spirit there would, he thought,
be no necessity for trades unions. The
laborers here he considered to be well paid There
should be
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS,
In which girls and women could be Instructed in
household economy. The witness said that all
combinations had an injurious influence on the
consumer, but he did not see how they could be
remedied by legislation, capitalists had right
to do as they pleased with their money; but he
did think that there should be some legislation 70
prevent men from dealing in futures. that is the
selling OF something they did not own. II was a
species OF gambling The trade-dollar, he thought,
should be redeemed by Congress.

TESTING THE STAYING PROPERTIES OF THE WILLARD

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 25.-The conference OF

except disagreements. The committee appointed
to draw up plan for harmonious action pre-
sented preliminary report touching on the terri.
tOr1al question, but no action was taken on lt.
The longer the conference continues the more
reticent the managers become. The impression
In a failure to compromise the differences.
In view OF the Wall street reports there is a be-
lief In the minds OF those competent to Judge that
the Central Pacific, the Gould AMI Vanderbilt in-
terests, have combined to play waiting game in
order TO test the staying properties OF the Willard

Postmaster Conger has established q new rule
In the city post ONCE requiring all the employees
to give bonds The bond required in the great

though In the cases OF some OF the employees
holding responsible places a heavier bond Is
asked. This regulation has caused some COM

own. In many OF the large offices in the country,
believe, 1t is customary TO require bonds OF the
clerks, no matter what the character Of the work
they perform In Philadelphia they even require
substitute clerk to give bond. The letter car
rierS have always been required to give bonds by
q regulation or the Post Ofrice department, and
they have only to carry letters in making deliver

simply taking the ordinary precautions that any
business man would take. No one would want
to put a man next TO his cash drawer
without some security. In banks all over
the country and in the Treasury department, where
clerks handle cash, it has become custom to lock
men In iron wire cages There is not store in the
country but has eome system OF checks against
frauds by cashbOys and other employees. l can't
see any objections to my taking ordinary precau-
tions- 1t must be remembered that when came
here there was not one manin fifty In the Office
that personally knew. 1 had $50 or 800 appllca-
tlons for offlce, and many of them from per-
Sonal and trusted friends. might have turned
out all the men In the Office and appointed men
whom knew we'll. But made only five changes,
and only three changes In the clerical force.
Now. having retained these employees, think,
under the circumstances, / am not asking any
thing unreasonable when demand a bond OF
them, although believe them to be honest and
