Entertain Members and
Guests in a Most
Pleasing Manner

Monday evening last, Phoebe
Miners Union, No. 1853, gave a
smoker in the Thompson Opera
House, and throughout the even
ing rendered a program, which
was entertaining in the highest
sense of the word. The occas-
ion being the installation of Of
ficers for the ensuing term. The
local union has been in existence
for about one year, during which
time it has grown in member
ship until at present it is a rec
ognized power in our community.
We congratulate the member
ship and the officers who have
controlled its affairs on the in
telligent and efficient manner in
which all questions have been
handled, and believe we can
bespeak as much for those now
at the helm. The utmost salts
faction now prevails between
employer and employee in this
camp and we can see no reason
why this condition of affairs
should not continue.

vide EIusticfty.

Representative Mckinney of Illinois.
member OF the Committee on Banking
and Currency yesterday introduced a
currency bill which has the Endorsement
Of the currency commission Of the Ameri-

The commission. which was appointed

bers, which had exhaustive hearings on
the subject and Mr.. McKinney's bill Is
based upon its recommendations 1t also
has the approval of the executive council
of the Illinois Bankers Association. II
provides for an issue Of guaranteed credit

tax upon the notes issued 10 be placed in
the hands Of the Treasurer of the United

Under the bill. before q bank can issue

notes. thus giving protection to the bond
holders who have invested i'm this class
of security, but continuing the policy by
giving the Federal government "a market
for its bonds. A bank may then Issue
notes TO the amount of % per cent of
63i2 per cent Of its capital. bearing a tax
Of Zis per cent per annum. and may issue
additional notes equal to 1879 per cent Of
its capital bearing 8 per cent per annum
