RIotina More Vicious.

Conditions in the transfers strike
were worse Monday than at any pre-.
ceding time. The strikers were in
uglier mood, the lioting was more
open and vicious, and attacks en- non
union men were more frequent and
daring ,han at any time since the be
ginning CT the strike. The chief cause
for the increased belligerency on the
part of the strikers and their friends
is the f0ct that the. Employers Team
ing association Monday brought 1900
men into Chicago TO take the places of
strikers and 500 move are said TO be
now on the way. The men will receive
the full pay of union men, and it has
been guaranteed to them that their
positions will be permanent. Among
the strike-breakers are 200 farmer

nennnifnrr Signing Up

The notices which are being sent out to depositors of the Bank of Commerce by Receiver George H. Stevenson ot the Bessemer Savings Bank, wherein Mir Stevenson offers to buy the claims against the former institution, are meeting with many responses. The general sentiment among the Bank of Commerce depositors seems to be fa- vorable, and it is probable that a large maiority of them will accept the prop osition without delay. The proposi- tion to pay the open depositors 66 23 per cent of their claims. and the time, or savings depositors 40 per cent Is generally conceded to be better than the long drawn out litigation which will result if the depositors do not ac- cept the offer.
 It seems that the decision of Judge senn is not at all binding upon the depositors of the Bank of Commerce, and leaves them free to accept or re- Ject the proposition, as they see fit, and If a majority of them accept it.,
