strike Blocker. Now I'm Demand.


Now it is the strike blocker" that is
taking the place of the strike breaker in
secret campaign of the employers
against the labor unions, according to the
article by Allen Sangree in American In
dustries, organ of the National Manu-
facturers Association. The newcomer Is
the man who, when an industrial crisis
approaches in any line, joins a union, and
by comforting with the employer ard then
the members of the union, leans the ex-
act cause of the trouble. ITO do this, ~
says ;Sangree, "he must have the conf
dence of each, and to unionists, of course,
his IDENTITY must not be revealed. He is
the "Cunce of prevention" Sangree goes
on to say that within the last year strike
blocking concerns have been established
in every industrial center of the country.
The operatives number thousands, and
already more than a dozen big strikes
have been averted by them. Their eff
forts sre directed by men who combine
the abilities of detective and labor leader.
The phrase of the professional blocker is
''reascn rather than force" Thomas j.
Fasre. OF New York is credited with be-
ing the leader of the strike blockers. He
says ne believes in unions, but seeks
merely to eliminate the opportunities for
graft.

EMERGENCY CHECKS ARE
AUTHORIZED BY BANKS.
Clearing House Decides Issuance
Of Scrip Will Help Local
Financial Situation.

AT a meeting of the Chicago Clearing
House Association, which was attended
by representatives of the nineteen
member banks, it was decided, upon
Recommendation of the Clearing House
committee, TO issue checks of small de-
nominations, to be used as a medium of
exchange in lieu of currency until such
time as local banks shall see fit to re-
sumo specie payments. The new checks
will be in denominations of ST, 50, So
and $40, and will be issued by the
Chicago Clearing House Association in
payment of clearing house certificates
of large denominations, which have
been previously issued to the banks
1t was decided, for the convenience
of handling them, that the checks will
be drawn on only four member banks
of the association. These banks are
the First National, the Con-. Exchange
National, the Continental National and
the Commercial National. When any
bank in the Clearing House Associa-
ton desires supply of the checks
it must present to the manager of that
organization clearing house certificates
of the larger denominations for the
amount of small checks it applies for
The checks Of small denominations.
which are guaranteed by the clearing
house, will then be drawn, based on
one of the banks designated, in pay
ment Of the clearing house certificates
to the association, and the checks will
be made payable to the bank which ap-
piled for them, or bearer, and will,
therefore, be transferable from one hold
er 10 another without Endorsement.
Banks receiving the checks will pay
them out to customers for pay roll pur-
poses and they will pass into the hands
of employees, from them into the hands
Of merchants and others, and from the
latter back into the banks, which will
accept them as deposits.

Are Voting Machines LegnIs

The Supreme judicial Court of Nassa-

of voting machines is not permissible un-
der the constitution of the commonwealth.
This decision has aroused no little COM
ment, and has led to the assertion that
if the machines are unconstitutional IN
Massachusetts, they must be also in New
York, and perhaps other States. 1t is
pointed out, on the other hand, however,
that this does not necessarily follow. as
the fundamental law of Massachusetts is
peculiar in its reference to the method in
which the votes shall be cast.
