Step Toward Central Bank.

1T is our opinion that the majority
bill is the first step toward central
bank, which the President has said he
would not advocate at present, but which,
it is generally understood, he favors. The
central bank will most likely be followed
by the asset currency plan, which is ad-
vanced by many"
The democratic members Of the rules
committee resisted the effort OF the re-
publicans 10 adopt the special rule, but
were voted down. The rule, as first
passed, prohibited also a motion to recon-
NIT. but Representative fitzgerald. dem
ocrat, of New York, argued that the
rules of the House provided that such a
motion was always in order and that a
special rule could not take away that
right. The rule was then amended, so
as to permit motion to recommit.
One hours time was allotted for debate
on the rule on the floor of the House,
thirty minutes to each side.

Started Months Ago.

Discussing the controversy and the
causes which led up to the present con-
ditions, Mr.. Parsons said that several
months ago the Brotherhood of Car
penters requested the Builders League,
then recently formed. to grant the
workmen a half holiday Saturdays, be-
ginning June !. 1910. with increased
pay of 10 per cent-that is. increasing
the amount $50 il would cover the half
day lost by the workmen.
The Amalsamated Society" Mr. Par
sons said. asked for the Saturday half
| holiday without any increase of pay
until June 1. 1911, after which date
the salaries were to be increased 60
cents a day, making TIE per diem wage
$3.50, instead of 81. the amount paid
now. The Building Trades Council
asked for the Saturday half holiday to
begin June ! Of this year without any
mention Of increased pay.
The Builders League decided the time
was inopportune to increase wages. The
men carpenters and tried to convince
them that the proposed raise of pay was
inadvisable.
THE Builders League then passed a
resolution establishing the Saturday half
holiday the year around. beginning June
1, 1910, but without any increase in
wages. The Amalgamated Society ac-
cepted the proposition. The brotherhood
declined to do SO.
1.-The Builders League contended that
the proposed increase would take some
work out of this market and would be
generally against the interests of both
employers and employed.
In conclusion MIR. Parsons said that few
of the master builders had acceded to the
demands. The Employers Association
the Builders League and the Master
Builders Association all had refused to
grant the increase in pay.

ADOPTED BY A PARTY VOTE
Eight Hours Are to Be Allowed in
House for Discussion.
WILL PERMIT NO CHANGE
Democrats File a Minority Report
on the Measure, Declaring It to
Be Move for Central Bank.

The new rules committee Of the House
by strict party vote Of SIX to three, to-
day reported a special rule to govern the
postal savings bank bill in the House
The rule provides for the cutting off OF
all amendments, for eight hours OF gen
eral debate and for permission to Offer
one substitute for the entire bill.
The democratic minority report on the
postal savings bank printed today severe
ly criticises the bill as it came from the
House committee on post offices and posi-
roads.
1t declares that the bankers of the
country could have prevented the de-
mands for legislation of this kind II
they had shown enough interest anC
confidence in one another to 1naugu-
rate some kind of additional security
to depositors. but they have persistent
ly refused to follow any such sugges-
ton, because they have said they do
not wish to become responsible for
what they call wildcat banks"
The Minority Report.
The minority report is signed by
Representatives Finley of South Caro-
lima, Lloyd of Missouri. Small Of North
Carolina, Bell OF Georgia and Cox OF
Indiana, all democrats.
Referring to the clause in the House
bill providing for the deposit of Is pei
cent of postal savings in local banks, the
report says:
The most serious objection to the bill
as we see it, is in section 8. Under the
provisions of that section, per cent OF
the fund must be kept by the treasurer
of the United States, 30 per cent Of II
Is to be invested in government bonds
and the remaining 65 per cent of it may
be withdrawn from the repositories ano
invested in bonds by direction of the
President
THE effect Of this provision is to
take all of the funds out OF the locali-
ties in which they are deposited. There
can be no question. also. but what the
intention of the bill is to invest 81
per cent of the funds in bonds and
there is no requirement IN the bill as
to the amount OF interest such bonds
shall bear The real effect Of this pro-
vision will be. as we understand it, to
permit the redemption of outstanding
per cent bonds by investing the pos
tai deposits in them.

REACTION IS SOON NOTICED

NEW YORK, June THE stock market
opened today in wild disorder under a
pancky rush of the bears to cover their
shorts. influenced by the news OF an adj
justment of the dispute over rates be-
tween the government and the railroads.
The rebound in St. Paul reached 5A
Great Northern preferred ;. Consolidated

Chesapeake and Ohio. Northern Pacific
and American Smelling SIS. This con-
vulsive adjustment of prices established
the level of the market from one to four
points over the closing of Saturday, the
rebound exceeding by the measure the
slump of yesterday.
The violence of the advance invited
immediate realizing sales, and prices
promptly ran off l to points.
Stocks came out on the market in a
heavy stream to take advantage of the
bulge in prices. and the weight Of these
gradually forced the market down, de-
spite the new buying. The reaction
reached ia in st. Paul and > to oil in
Union Pacific, Reading. Great Northern
preferred and Consolidated Gas, which
established level at which the market
began to show resistance.

Moderate Recovery Noted.

The spasmodic jump in prices at the
opening proved greater than the specula-
ton could maintain. There was a mod
crate recovery from the first reaction, but
the reduction which had been effected by
the short interest deprived prices of sus-
tanning power. Before noon ST. Paul had
left only fractional remnant of Its OPEN
Ing gain, and the average level of prices
was lower than in the first hour.
Bonds were irregular.
Active selling began again, which sent
prices down to a materially lower level,
the reaction from the best reaching five
points i'm st. Paul and about three In
Union Pacific and Reading. Purchasing
orders then began to come into the mar
ket, but after some OF the leaders had
rallied a point the demand ceased and
trading became Stagnant.

MORE GOING ON STRIKE
TWO HUNDRED CARPENTERS
QUIT WORK TODAY.
Controversy Is Over Question Of
Saturday Half Holiday
With Pay.

In round numbers two hundred Journey
men carpenters are on strike today. 1t is
believed others will join the ranks of the
strikers by tomorrow.
This statement was made this afternoon
by master builder. who is in a position
to know the status of the contention over
the Saturday half-holiday with pay. At
the headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners the statement was
made that only a few men had been
pulled from jobs where the employers
had refused to accede to the demands of
the union.
James L. Parsons, president of the
Builders League, composed of building
contractors, said today that 123 journey
men members of the Brotherhood of Car
penters, who were employed by fourteen
members OF the league. went out on
strike yesterday and forty-seven men re-
manned at work. Fffty-four carpenters,
members of the Amalgamated Union of
Carpenters and Joiners, remained at
work and seven went out on strike. To-
day it is estimated that seventy-fiye
more quit work.

his amazement he discovered that the

were generally supposed to have some
thing to do with shaping the destiny
of the nation were a lot of amateurs

therefore decided to put the matter
to a supreme test.
