Kindness better Than Arbitration.
january Century

Better than arbitration-wise and neces-
sary as that may be at times-better than
arbitration, especially than enforced arbi-
%tration, is mutual acquaintance, respect.
confidence and ease of approach; and these
cannot be obtained when there is totally
absent, on either side, a spirit of human
sympathy. The other day we asked a
highly successful manufacturer how It was
that he had got along so well, and for so
many years. with his great crowd OF EN-
ployes and the labor union allies. 1--WE

Now that this country seems In a fair
way to escape from the embarrassing con-

tional anxiety is to be excited again over
the fate of the country. The board Of army
officers appointed to edit the army uniform
cannot agree as to whether the stripes on

were built, including cars for use on
elevated railroads, out exclusive OF

is considerably the largest record
which has ever been made in the coun.
try, and exceeds by 25,5 ,542 the output
for 1901. These figures, of course, do
not include cars built by railroads at

more upon his own sound logic than

critical iuncture the judge interrupted

CHECKS CLEARED BY PHONE
Novel Scheme Is Practiced in the
"Prosperity Belt"

Down in the Prosperity belt as
we call it, we've got the whole world
beat for real progress" said a coun.
try banker who was in the city last
week. After delivering this declara-
tion he bit the end of cigar and set
tied back in chair in lobby of one
of the big hotels.
"Yes, stree, we beat the world for
genuine progress he continued.
We've got something down in central
Illinois that you won't find anywhere
else on the globe. It's telephone
clearinghouse. We call it a clear
ing-house right here in Chicago or in
New York. Now you'd think banks
couldn't clear their checks by tele-
phone, but, as l said before. we beat
the world for progress and have in
vented the new system.
The whole scheme is very simple
and has proved safeguard against
some of the bugaboos that worry
banEers-such things as overdrafts,
for instance. Every day at noon one
bank will call up another by tele-
phone. read off the amount OF the
checks and the names of the drawers.
Some of these checks will b. on the
bank at the other end of the wire and
some OF them will be drawn on an in
stitution with which that bank has
considerable business.
Now, you see, half dozen or more
banks in one county or section of the
state can arrange certain time for
calling up some one bank, which is
the central bank All the banks call
this one, notifying 1t they have checks
on it or upon any of the others.
When each bank has found out
how much it owes the other banks up
until a certain nour drafts are for
warded to cover the balances. By
using the telephone clearinghouse we
expedite business, saving an entire
day in man. instances. It's a paying
scheme and is pretty nkely to be
adopted by other groups of country
banks wherever the telephone is il
general use.'-Chicago Inter Ocean.
