UNION LABOR BANK.
Scheme for Such an Institution Was
 Defeated.

Chicago. Oct 16.-The Union Labor bank in Chicago was sacrificed on the altar of frenzied finance at meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor yesterday. By an overwhelming vote the delegates laid on the table re port submitted by a banking commit tee in favor of establishing and sup porting such an institution.
 Before the proposition was smoth- cred it was raked fore and aft by q galling fire from many speakers, finan- cial schemes were linked with graft and banking was declared entirely out side the sphere of organized labor. The banking scheme was brought to the at tention of the delegates in report from a committee recommending that the proposed bank be given the moral support of the federation and that a committee of three be appointed to see the plan through.
 The report announced that a corpor- ation known as the Commonwealth Trust and Savings bank already had been organized with a capital stock of $2,000,O00, divided into shares of the par value of s each. The chief aim in organizing the bank, it was an nounced, was to make the trades unions of Chicago the controlling fac. tor in the management of the institu- ton and with this object in view the banks bylaws provide that organized labor at all times shall have majority on the board of directors.

Speech of One of the Dele- gates Cause of Some
 Comment To-Day.

New York, Oct 16.-The Prensa, says a cable dispatch to the Herald from Buenos Ayres, commenting on the speech of the secretary of the treas ury, at the congress of bankers, said: it may be convenient for the United States to subsidize shipping line to South America with the object of de yeloping commerce, but it would not be policy for South American republics to do so, especially as such an under taking would appear as an act of hos tility against Europe.
 'The Argentines will always pur- chase and sell at the most convenient markets without sentiment or prefer ence. Moreover, the United States fiscal legislation flinders commercial interchange between the north and the south Besides, America knows noth- ing about Latin America. Even MT Roosevelt, whose sagacity all acknowl- edge, committed the error of making the Monroe doctrine kind of conti- mental police ordinance"
