STRIKERS FAIL TO SHOW
EXPECTED STRENGTH

Continued from Page /
President Shaffer refrains from any
direct criticism of the action of the
western men, but it is known he deep
ly regrets the loss OF their support. He
says that he viii await official reports
before acting, and that he can do
nothing until he returns from Wheel
ing he is to be accompanied to
Wheeling by the Rev. Charles H.
FitzWilliams Of Atlantic City, who
viii also address the strikers. The
two were close friends when the
strike leader was in the ministry.
No attempt has been made as yet to
put in operation the plan of withdraw
ing savings deposits suggested by
President Shaffec In his speeches on
Saturday. The suggestion aroused
STcat interest, particularly Inc banking
circles. and many bankers not connect
ed with the larger industrial combina-
tons have protested against it. Presi-
dent Shaffer said today that he had
not sent out the circular dealing with
the matter. He said:
Withdrawal Of Deposits.
II have the circular in my pocket
still and the matter is under COnsldera-
ton / am aware that there are banks
Which have no connection with the
trust or its interest There are things
To be considered which make it neces-
sary TO stop any action for the pres
ent. On general lines, however. the
matter is perfectly reasonable. Why
should our people put money in the
banks to be loaned to the trust to
carry on their business of destroying
us2"
