The Strike and the Extension OF Time.

The Government in making contracts
for work such as that for the machinery OF
the battle-ship Texas. now under construc-
tion at the Richmond Locomotive Works,
allows an extension of time in which to
complete the contract in case of delay
owing to fire OF strikes.
Recently convention of the Locomotive
Works strikers visited ex-Congressman
Waddill with q view of ascertaining
whether they could get hearing before
the department ut Washington for the
purpose of showing that the strike was
not bona-fde one in the sense that the
department provides for strikes. and that
therefore the company was not entitled to
the extension. Mr.. Waddill referred the
committee to the Government inspector
here, and has since heard nothing more Of
the matter

cey and Bank-Examiner Drew.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The correspond
ence between Comptroller Lacey and Bank
Examiner Drew, of Philadelphia, which
concluded with request on July I'd for
Drew's resignation, is made public. On
June 29th the Comptroller wrote Drew call
ing his attention to the fact that in his re-
port of January 24th on the affairs OF the
Keystone Bank he Drew had omitted to
mention that on that date the Keystone
Bank was indebted on account Of clearing
house certificates in the sum OF S54i, sol,
said Indebtedness being secured by pledge
Of ats notes and bills amounting to S729,-
s0s, which assets were then held by the
clearing house committee and were not IN
the custody of the bank. You will OBJ
serve that this Indebtedness OF $544 ISL Is
not stated among the liabilities OF the
bank. nor is any mention made in either
the report or the letter OF this large IN
dcbtedness, or of the absence OF so large
part of the assets" Drew is requested to
