C, L. U. DISCUSSES GAS BILL.
WIZ Not Take Action Until Further
InYestigated.

INV cNAtEa leus
The committee of the Central Labor
Union which was appointed TO investi-
gate and report on the Madden gas bill
submitted a comprehensive report last
night, in which they advised that no
action be taken until it has been shown
that gas can be produced at a smaller
cost. The report aroused considerable
discussion, and the vote on the question
was close. No further action will be
taken until the matter is thoroughly
Slfted by the Congressional committees.
\ resolution was adopted which for
bids the United Brewery Workers from
adding any other teamsters. engineers,
and fremen TO their rolls. which prac-
tically ends the controversy between
these organizations which has been
before the central body for some time.
A, telegram was read by Delegate
Stein announcing the election of John

taTy and treasurer of the International

NEW BRANCH BANK OPENED.
international Banking Corporation
Relieves Ii Meets Local Necessity.

The new branch of the International
Banking Corporation opened yesterday. at
1924 Connecticut avenue. and did a thriv-
ing business. judged by the constant
stream of visitors entering the office
Murray Cobb. the assistant manager in
charge of the branch. expressed himself
as being gratifed at the support accorded
the bank the first day of its operation
There seems no doubt that a banking
business close at hand. away from the
rush Of downtown life. will appeal forci-
bly, TO the neighborhood
The class of the visitors consisted
largely of women and residents OF the
ncighborhoOd who are not connected with
the local commerce or Office life and il
appears that the ready communication
afforded by the new Office and immunity
from the inCOnvenienCies of car travel is
a considerable factor with these people
in doing business. The management be
lieyes the new branch meets d local
necessity.
