Engineers to Vote a Strike.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. IA strike
vote will be taken among the engin-
GERS of sixty-one railroads west,
south and north Chicago, includ-
ing the Illinois Central, following
the termination to-day between the
roads and grand officers of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS, which had been in session since
Sentemb Der 26th. Difference in wage
increases of approximately z per
cent, and alteration of working con-
ditions, stood between the negotia-
tors.
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone, OF
the Brotherhood. who has been lead
ing the railroad men in their de-
mands, said to-day he believed the
strike vote would be unanimously in
favor Of suspension of work, and
that the enginemen would have ex-
pressed their desire December 10th.
Immediately thereafter, he said, a
last opportunity would be given the
railroads to meet the workers, and
il they ignored that opportunity
within five hours every engine west
OF Chicago, on all branches of SER
vice, would be stilled.

To Control Rice Markets.

New Orleans, Nov. 8.-South Car
DINA, next to Louisiana, the biggest
rice growing State in the Union, has
joined hands with Louisiana and
Texas in the movement for a pro-
ducers' control of the rice markets
Of this country.
Former Governor D. Clinch Hey
ward, of Charleston, S. c., wired the
officers of the recently formed South
ern Rice Growers Association that
South Carolina would join the farm
ers' movement and would be repre-
scented at the next meeting of the
association.
Ex-Governor Hayward owns ex-
tensive rice lands in Colleton Coun-
ty, South Carolina, and has taken an
active interest in similar movements
of farmers organizations.
Ex-Governor Hayward is a rice
planter Of extensive operations. His
plantations on the Combalee are
models. At the time when he was
elected Governor, he was living al
WATERFORD and giving his attention
chiefly to his rice crops. He had
never held a political office. Cover.
nor Hayward is a strong believer in
organization and the diffusion Of
modern scientific information among
the rice growers and to this end he
has done much, in cooperation with
Mr.. Samuel G. Stoney, of Charleston
and others. Since his removal from
Columbia he has made his home in

Uncle Sam is There.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 7.-Amer-
lean interests at Amapala, Honduras,
during the next few days will be in
the care of the United States gunboat
Yorktown, which arrived at that port
to-day to relieve the Princeton and
watch developments in the conten-
ton between President Davaila and
General Calladare for control of the
garrison at Amapala. This informa-
ton was received at the Navy De-
partment to-day from Commander
Hayes, of the Princeton, which now
has sailed for Panama for coal. The
Princeton will return Immediately to
join the Yorktown at Amapala and
both vessels will remain at the Hon
duran port until the situation is
solved.
Commander Hayes made no refer
ence to any change in conditions at
Amapala. The latest report received
at the State Department from United
States Minister McCreery, at Tegu-
cigala, said that General Valladares
was still holding the garrison and the
situation was unchanged.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Much Remains TO BE Done Before
System Is Well Established.

Washington, Nov. S.-While the
location Of the first postal savings
bank, one in each State and Terri
tory, have been chosen. and 1t Is
probable that the banks will be open
ed at the beginning OF 1911. much
work remains to be done in the de-
velopment of the system, according
to one OF the trustees
A problem that is taxing the trus-
tees and the solution OF which Is
awaited with great interest by bank
ers concerns the deposit OF postal
funds in banks. The law provides
that 65 per cent Of the funds, shall
be deposited in solvent banks, wheth-
er organized under National or State
laws, being subject to National or
State supervision and examinations. ="
The word blanks" includes savings
banks and trust companies.
The solvency Of National banks
viii probably be determined by the
examiners. The best method for as
certaining the condition of other
banks has not been determined. One
plan suggested provides for the CO.
operation of the comptroller or some
other governmental departments.
There are many bankers who are
anxious that the method for deter
mining the question Of solvency shall
be thorough and guarded to protect
impartially the interests Of all
banks. Unless that is done, they
fear that some future board of trus-
tees may possibly make the power to
decide as to solvency a basis for
favoritism in the distribution Of pos
tai bank funds.

ANTITRUST LAW CONTEST.
Taken Up by Supreme Contributed
Lawyers Appear.

Washington, D. c., Nov. T.
A final contest over the interpre-
tation of the Sherman antitrust law
as criminal measure, began in
earnest to-day in the Supreme Court
of the United States last Saturday.
Noted lawyers filed with the court
a brief in support of the holding by
the United States Circuit Court for
the Southern district of New York,
that the statute of limitations
prevened the prosecution of Gustav
E. Kissel, Of New York, under an
Indictment, charging him, together
with the American Sugar Refining
Company and others, with conspiracy
to drive the Pennsylvania Sugar Re
fining Company out of business, in
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
The Federal Government had al
ready filed a brief in support of the
indictment. 1t was prepared by the
Solicitor General Bowers, just be-
fort his death, but not submitted to
the court until several weeks later
Oral argument Of the case has been
set for to-day.

Upholds Higher Rates.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Upholding
the sweeping advances made By
Southeastern railroads on many
classes and commodities from Ohio
and Mississippi River crossings to
Atlanta and Birmingham, since Au-
gust i, 1908, the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day dismissed
the complaint filed by the Georgia
and Alabama Railroad Commissions
and certain grain companies, against
the Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville
and Nashville and other railroads I'D
the South.
The Commission held that the
rates were not shown to be untus',
unreasonable or excessive. It held
that to permit the roads in that sec
ton to be of ultimate lasting adVah-
tage to the Southern people, the
railroads should be permitted 70

STANDARD OIL co. AGAIN.
Another Big Suit by Federal Govern
ment Against Petroleum Mon
ODOly.

Jackson, Tenn, Nov. AFTER
months spent in preparation by emil
nent counsel for both parties to the
issue, the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana will be brought to bar in
the Federal Court here Wednesday
to answer to various and sundry al
legged violations of the Sherman anti
trust law. Briefly, it is charged that
that oil company accepted cOnces-
sions from several railroad cOmpa-
MES on shipments of petroleum and
petroleum products to points in the
South and Southeast, "blind billed
through Grand Junction, Tenn.
The case will be heard before
Judge John E. Mccall, whose juris-
diction extends over the western dis
tricts of Tennessee, and is consider
ed Of equal Importance to the suits
heard at Chicago by Judge Kenne-
saw M. Lands, which terminated in
the unprecedented fine of more than
500, 1000. In the event of con-
victiOn on all counts the maximum
penalty which could be assessed is
$30,084,0O0. The minimum is ST.
$4,000.
Specifically it is charged that the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
received concessions on numerous
consignments from their refinery at
Whiting, Ind, to 50 cities and towns
in the Southern territory. At Grand
Junction, the Government declares,
the shipments were re-consigned, the
purpose being to secure an unfair
advantage over competitors and, as
whole, involving violations of the
antitrust laws of the United States.
The trial will probably extend
through three weeks and several
score Of witnesses have been sum-
moned.

THE law passed by the German

and those contracts are largely with
mines owned by Americans. The law
was framed, as Americans were in

diation.
"The American Government pro-
tested against the bill owing TO its
unconcealed effect and received Ger

would in no way invalidate or impair
American contracts. This is what
has happened:
Goods costing $40 a ton in the

making the cost to American buyers
S42, while the German potash syRdi-
cate sells in the United States at $50

THE tax, if paid, will cost Amer

the German syndicate in full control

plosives and chemicals as far as they
are affected by potash"
State Department Informed.
Washington, Nov. THE State

day of the failure of potash nebotia-

Davis. The latter, the dispatch add
ed, would leave at once for Vienna,
to consider certain trade relations

No definite decision will be reach
ed by this Government in the Ger
man controversy until the return to
Washington of Secretary Knox, when
the whole matter will be laid before
him. The Secretary is expected back
tomorrow after casting his vote in
Pittsburg.
The situation is regarded by de-
partment officials as delicate and
their view of it's eriousness is reflect

discussed the matter pending the re-
turn of Secretary Knox.
