Hn,u Banks Are Broken.

Here is what a New England banker told
a reporter: lone day last week a most
amusing thing occurred in connection with
one Of our smaller savings banks IL was
during the noon luncheon hour. Two spar
rows had been aving fierce battle in
the street In front OF the bank in question.
The traffic on this particular street is
quite heavy, particularly while clerks,
merchants and others are on their way to
and from the midday meal. The sparrows
made considerable noise and in their
movements is finally landed them on the roof
Of the bank building. First one pedestrian
stopped to watch the fight, then another,
and so on until a fair-sized crowd stood on
the opposite side of the street and looked
up fntently toward the low bank building.
That was enough. Late arrivals guessed at
once some thing was the matter, and soon
there was a rush for the outskirts of the
crowd. A few were on their way to get
their hankhooks and others to warn their
friends. In the afternoon thirty eight de
pOsitors bad appeared inside of halfanh hour,
many of them humble, foreign-born work
men, and it took the best efforts of the en-
Tire hank force TO quiet them down and in.
duce them not TO withdraw their deposits.

last meetings of these bodiesi there Were
large Bttendances, and II. is expected that
the membership of both viii be greatly
increased at the meetings to- be held on
next Wednesday. The interest in the
growth OF these two unions is maintained
by friendly rivalry betw cen the officers
of each union as to Which will first reach
the century mark in membership. IS the
Federal Union is limited In itsmem bership
to only skilled laborers, it is thought that
the Protective organization, which can
draw from all classes of wprknien. has
decidedly the advantage OF the contest.
tits also expected that very shortly there
viii be u shaking up OF what is known To-
cally as independent unions. These are
trace organizations affiliated with the ma
tiOnal unions of the crafts, but which claim
independence In local affairs and affilia /.
tions. Most OF the national bodies 10 W hich
this class OF unions properly belong are
affiliated with the American Federation of
Labor. but the local unions refuse To affili
ate with the Central Labor Union which is
connected with the American Federation
Of Labor.
If this matter is pushed by the national
unions to which the local independent
bodies belong, and OF which there is hardly
any doubt, it is expected 1t will cause quite
d shako-up in loeal labor circles.
