. NO OPEN SHOP New York Employers
 Are Indignant. OVER STRIKE STORY Employers Say that if the Iron Workers Unions Violate Their
 Agreement There Will be
 no More Conferences.

New York, Jan 30.-Indignation is expressed among the employers of the building trades over what was char Sacterized as an attempt to use the Central Federated Union and the American Federation of Labor to force unions under the arbitration agreement to violate it by striking ill aid of the housesmiths: This state ment was made public to-day on be- half of the Employers association:
 Tt is not true that because the open shop has been established in the hOusesmiths' trade there is any inten- tion of the employers to establish the open shop in the other trades. They do not believe. that the rank and file of the unions will be willing to violate pledge to observe an agreement in order to support a union which has deliberately broken it.
 "The general sentiment is that if the unions violate this agreement, which We believe the rank and file of the unions will not sanction, there will be no more conferences over an arbi- tratiOn agreement. The employers will simply organize as strongly as possible so as to be ready for any thing that may happen. We prefer to believe that they have some sense of honOr."

Rate of Interest is Now
 Increased. BY IMPERIAL ORDER
Russian Government Hopes That This Decree Will Bring In creased Deposits to the
 Savings Banks.

St Petersburg, Jan 3O.-An impOr-
 tant financial measure, dictated by the
 drain on the savings banks ill conse-
 quence of the revolutionary agitation
 and the impossibility of competing
 with the rates of private banks, is an- nounced. It increases by imperial order the rate of interest of the gov ernment savings banks from 3.6 to 4 per cent. The government hopes it Will have favorable effect on the re depositing which has already com menced. According to the official statement the increased deposits in the savings banks for the first half of the Russian January were $2,500.O0O, ten times the increase during the similar period of 1905. At Moscow, according to the Sloyo, the depositors of gold are demanding receipts stating explicitly that their deposits are returnable in the same metal. The banks refuse to do so. An order has also been signed by the emperor raising the rate paid on deposits in perpetuity in the i'm perial bank from BE to AZ per cent
 The rates of exchange are soaring steadily. For drafts on America pri- vate banks are charging as high as 2O1 roubles per $100, whereas during the preceding summer the rate was 197.5O rOubles per $1OO. The official rate of exchange On England now is 95 compared with the December rate of 94.75; but this rate is obtainable only at the imperial bank. The un- official rate on the bOurse is 96375.

FREE TROLLEY RIDES
Would Be Welcomed By the Bremen With
 Advanced Wares.

Some of the firemen feel hurt over a .umor to the effect that they want more vacations, and state that they are well satisiied with their present working hours. but they do feel that they ought to have little advance in wages and that the trolley. company could afford to let them ride free here as well as in Bridgeport and other places. Yes" remarked one of the fire fighters to Democrat reporter, ESQ far as know the men are saris- fled with the hours, hut all of them think that the pay might be increased without putting 1t beyond fair re- muneration for the service rendered. and we hope the board will soon look at the question from our standpoint. With regard to tickets on the trolley cars. 1t seems to me and to the rest of the firemen that the company could afford to let us ride when on duty. the same as they do in Bridgeport. where the same company owns the road. I'm not aware that petition ever was presented to the company asking that flremen be given free tickets over the road. but hope to see inc matter talk en up and give Us chance to hear what Mir Sewcll would say to such proposition. The firemen don't feel that they can take the initiative in such things. hut really don't know why anybody should find fault in case the whole of us got together and peti- toned the board to see what they can to with the company towards getting us free tickets on the trolley cars" Tie man didn't say that such peti- ton was being circulated. hut the re, porter gathered from his remarks that the boys are moving in that direction and it is quite likely that the company will do the handsome thing when the matter Is brought to their attention.

KING's DECISION.
Claimed that It Applies to All Under lying Bonds of Connecticut Railways.

New Haven, Jan 3O.-Attorney-Gen- eral Kings opinion in favor of the legalization of. underlying bonds Ofsthe Meriden Street Railway Co as savings bank investments, being referred to- day to.a legal authority of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Co. brings out the opinion that the finding apparently applies in this state to all underlying bonds of Con nectfcut street railways which have been consolidated under the Consoldi- dated Railway Co.'S charter. Included in, the system thus effected are the bonds of the subsidiary com panies of the old Fair Haven X West. vile corporation, the Hartford, Stam ford, Willimantic, New London. Mont vile. Norwich. Middletown and east ern Connecticut systems, but not in- cluding the newly purchased Hart ford, Manchester X Rockville property which has not yet been merged but is likely to be consolidated at an early date. The res,it of the attorney gen erals opinion therefore. if upheld by the courts. is to open the very large amount of underlying bonds of trol- Icy companies in this state to savings bank Investments.

AGAINST WEALTH
President of Bank Makes Remark able Address at a Mckinley
 Banquet.

Chicago, Jan 3O.-Representatives ol sevepty-three Presbyterian churches in Chicago listened to remarkable ar raignment of wealth by David R. For gan. yice-president of the First Ma tional bank, who spoke at the McKin- ley memorial banquet of the Young Mems Presbyterian union at the City club of Chicago last night.
 Perhaps you think it impossible that a mans soul should entirely shrivel up in the pursuit of wealth" " said Mir Forgan. If you know some millionaires as well as I know them you would agree with me that they had lost the last vestige of the souls they may be presumed to have, pos sessed before the mania for money get ting Obsessed them. I would like to acquire millions, but if the process is going to make me like some of the old devils know who are milliOnaires don't want the money.
 To me there can be no sadder siEst than an old man, already incumbeiel by this worlds wealth., but eager only to increase it before he topples from the earth.
 Recently saw a letter from mill liOnaire referring to the death of a clerk who faithfully had served him thirty years. The man who wrote this letter is rated at $2O,OOO.0OO. He is an customer In this letter. after dispos- ing of several matters, he referred to the death of his old employe inciden- tally and directed that the exact date of the severance of his connection with the office because of his last illness be ascertained, the exact amount due him for the fraction of the month he had worked be figured up and check for the amount be mailed to his widow. Do you imagine that old curmudgeon has soul?'
 MT Forgan spoke on the subject, Character in Business" which, he in sisted, is the foundation of the worlds credit.

SUCCESS OF A CRUSADER.
American Consul at Munich Runs Down Dealer in Worth
 less Degrees.

Six years ago in January a man walked into the consulate at Munich and had the assurance to tell me, writes James H. Norman, United States consulate, Three Rivers, that he was going to America to buy himself professional degree. saying that in America anything could be done with money. watched that fellows return and secured evidence that his fraudu- lent license and academic degree ema. mated from Chicago. To my sorrow l soon learned that traffic far spread was carried on from our country with many lands. but especially Germany.
 Four years ago brought home pho- tographic reproductions of bushel of such worthless documents. but to my sorrow learned that only the original documents could be used in the courts, and my whole endeavor was berated as tempest in teapot
 Persistency of endeavor. however. rewarded me with evidence right here at home against prominent state offl. ctal of Illinois. I caused his removal and insisted on making of him an ex. ample, both on account of the wrong he had committed here and the suffer. ing he had entafled upon American practitioners in Germany. The govern ment and courts there have long ago lost faith in our ability to stay the perpetration of this wrong because of the delay in our courts.
 Four years have elapsed and to-day I am greeted by the report that the courts of Illinois have meted out pun. ishment to the offender referred to above.
 There still remain others whose pun- ishment should follow. and there is reason to hope that the full measure of success may yet crown my efforts to rid our country of this shameful traffic and Germany of it's consequent imposition.

MANY CLOSE CALLS
And Finally a Woman Was Seri' ously Injured by Falling Ma
 terial at North Square.

A series of what might easily have been bad accidents reached a climax this morning. Mrs Emma F. Nuhn of Waterville street, is erecting four story brick building on North square. A few days ago board about twelve feet long slipped through a window and fell the entire four stories at the feet of q man passing on the sidewalk. Yesterday two little girls were going home from school twirling their books which were bound in strap. Out from the fourth story again plank about twelve feet long and four inches square. fell and caught one of the lit tie girls books, flashing them from her hands.
 This morning Mrs Antonio Tedo of 9 Cassidy avenue. was passing along the side of the building when some- thing fell from the fourth story again. hit the woman on the forehead and knocked her senseless. Dr House of North Main street. happened to be passing at the time and he went 10 the woman's assistance instantly. He took her into Dr Lally' office which is near the scene of the accident, aud both physicians revived her and at tended to the wound on the forehead. As the woman tainted two or three times while being administered to. the physicians would not be surprised to find fracture of the skull.
 It is said that it was . wooden pipe which one of the metal workers on the front nf fba huiIdiup uas cmoEiny fell from his lips and struck the wo- man, but Dr House does not think that a pipe would gain velocity sufli- cient enough in a fall from fourth story window to inflict wound seri- ous enough to knock person sense less.
