BANKERS MAKE AN ATTACK.
Complaint Against Express Companies
Filed with Commission.

One of the most important cases yet
filed with the interstate commerce
commission under the new railroad
Stw was presented to the commission
by the American Bankers association.
In brief, the complainant alleges the
express companies OF the United States
through their power and facilities as
common carriers are usurping the pre-
negatives Of the banking associations
and at the same time employing the
capital of the banks of the country in
the conduct of their business.
1t is alleged that the operations of
the express companies in the conduct
of their exchange business is seriously
detrimental to the interests of banks
and that the use Of interstate facilities
which the express companies have
with the railroads enables the compa-
nies to seriously discriminate against
the regular commercial operations Of
banking institutions.

New York is experiencing an i'm

dependent upon the handful, compar-
atively, Of citizens ordinarily engaged
in collecting garbage and delivering
ice. Two thousand garbage collectors
and an equal number Of ice wagon
drivers are on strike and the city is
in peril Of an epidemic of disease. The
garbage situation is the more serious,
and unless speedily remedied the pos
sibilities of evil are startling.

direction Of Mayor Mcclellan assumed
responsibility when the street cleaning
department proved unequal to the
emergency, is exhausting its almost
unlimited resources, but Sunday night
the best that DR.. Darlington could
promise was that 800 men would be

force will make little headway, as 755
carts are required to remove each
