BANKS WORK TOGETHER.
Sauings Institutions, an Uniting,
VII Protect One AROther.

Charles Z. Sprague president OF the Union Dime
Savings Institution shed additional light last night
on the plans of the savings banks TO stand more
closely together as outlined in The Tribune yes
terday All these institutions already united
in the organization known the New York State
Savings Banks Association. and all matters OF i'm
portance dealing with savings banks are considered
by the executive committee of the association This
city, and it was at one of it's regular gatherings
at the Aldine Club Thursday that the plans Tor
still closer union were discussed.
Mr.. Sprague explained last night that it was de-
sired TO form strong local combination which in
times of emergency. would guarantee the protec-
tion Of each bank in case any one Of them needed
assistance to withstand run, or for any other
emergency. Mr.. Sprague thought, however. that it
would take time to make such local COM
bination effective
The committee appointed for Manhattan and The
Bronx which has as it's chairman Andrew Mills,
did not meet yesterday. The other members We're
Messrs AIulry and Trmble but it was announced
that the latter was unable serve and that Will
lam Felsinger president OF the New York Savings
Bank had been named in his place. Mr.. Schieren'
of the Brooklyn committee, said last night:
THE action in appointing three committees was
taken purely as precautionary measure We
divided the state into three parts-Manhattan and
The Bronx Brooklyn, and the section above New
York City. Three-fourths of the savings institu-
tions of the state are included in greater New
York There has been meeting of the Brooklyn
committee to-day and there is not likely to be one
at present unless some emergency arises. which
does not seem probable at the present time"

BAR IRON CONCERNS WILL NOT CLOSE.

The Eastern Bar Iron Association held a session
at the Waldorf yesterday to talk over the present
financial and business conditions. The association
embraces about thirty iron concerns
The consensus OF opinion was that there was no
reason why the mills should not continue in opera
ton. at least to some extent. although the demand
for bar iron had fallen off more than 30 per cent
since the money market had become depressed II
was finally decided that the mills should continue
TO run as long the demand remained above 25
per cent OF its normal volume
Several representatives of the larger concerns
expressed desire to shut down but said that I'm
justiceato their employees they would continue 10
run as full as possible. Their customers are keenIv
feeling the tightness OF the money market ana
"hle the iron is needed the did not feel
warranted in placing orders until business settled
down TO It's normal condition.

London. Nov. 2i.-The discount rate of the Bank
Of England remained unchanged to-day at per

that the American governments efforts to relieve

successful but It did not suffice TO dispel the un-
easiness in regard 10 the American situation pre-
yalling In the money market here.

centres. intends, 1t is stated TO remain the de-

There is some discussion through
the state of the difficulty of getting
school teachers, and the number of
places open is far greater than the
number of applicants. The wearing
work and poor pay of teachers is
proverbial, and it is not strange
that there should be difficulty in get
ting them. Schools in the cities of
the state are not so much better off
than the smaller country schools in
the matter of salary, but there are
greater opportunities for healthful
amusement and pleasure and it is
not so difficult to fill the places.
Young people, in these prosperous
times, are able to earn considerably
more than school teaching pays in
rural districts. And then, too,
teaching in these districts is looked
upon largely as a means of tenn
porary livelihood and. stepping
stone to something better There is
not much hope of substantial pro-
motion in school teaching, and
many who continue at the work do
so more through force of circum-
stances than from choice. .
