ARBITRATION REFUSED.
Southern Railway MRchinists Reject
Offer Made by Company.

1t was learned at the general office of
the Southern Railway Company yester-
DAY that the committee representing the
machinists of the Southern Railway
Company has declined that company's
offer Of arbitration. The negotiations be-
tween the company and the committee
have extended over a considerable time
and it was thought that when the COM
pany made its offer of arbitration an
early settlement was in sight. The
chance Of an immediate settlement now
seems to be at an end, and it is under
stood that the company will employ men
TO do its work
It will be recalled that the machinists
went out on strike on the Sth instant.

cOuched in cOnsiderate and conciIiatory
tone. This was followed by renewed ne
gotiations between the committee repre-

pany, and thereupon an offer Of arbitra-
ton was made by the company, as pub
lished in yesterday mornings paper. 1t

The suggestion OF national supervision
and examination OF trust companies.
which attracted immediate attention in
the East, was made by Mr.. Stellwagen-
Il was not received with favor by the
trust section, but viii undoubtedly come
UP again.
Il firmly believe that national super
vision is the best thing that can be ar
ranged for the trust companies said Mr.
Stellwagen. Il told the members of the
executive committee So but my views were
regarded as almost heretical. ] said then
and I still believe. that such an examina-
ton is a safeguard that is needed for the
good Of all concerned. II a trust COM
pany gets into trouble, no matter where
located. it is a bad thing for all trust
companies. There are only four trust
companies in the United States that are
subject 10 such national supervision and
those are the four here in the District Of
Columbia The Comptroller has constant
supervision over them, and we are re-
quired to deposit with the Treasury a
sum equal to one-quarter Of all our de-
DOsits.

the fifteen who heard ne that felt as 1

control over the trust company that fail

over those in Washington, that failure
would never have occurred. 1t was under
State supervision, but it had not been
examined for two years and a half.
There was one suggestion made at St
Louis that will no doubt be generally
adopted. It is to have the board of di-
rect0rs name an examining committee
Of their own, every month. entirely dis
unct from the executive committee, which
passes upon all loans. and have this di-
rectcrs committee carefully examine all
assets in the bank.
Currency reform was discussed among
the bankers, but I found there is as
much divergence Of views among the
hnanciers as there is among the poll
ticians and congressman Their ideas
were 81 much at variance that no action
was taken. A committee had been ap-
pointed at the previous meeting to take
up the question and formulate a reporr.
The committee had not been able to get
together, however. and the whole matter
