ON A STRIKE
NEW YORK CENTRAL SHoPMEN
OUT PENDING SETTLEMENT
PIECE WORK.
Eight Hundred Men Are Out and
Other Crafts Are in Sympathy
Strike Expected TO Spread.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 20.-The strike
of the boilermakers in the slops OF
the New York Central Lines, which be-
gan today, which, it is stated affects
500 men has the sympathy of the ma
chinists and blacksmiths of the line,
and it is said more than 1000 mem
bers of the latter unions will walk out.
Railroad and union officials issued
statements tonight covering the num-
Der of men said to be out and the
supposed cause of the strike. Vice
President Weyland of the Interna-
tional brotherhood of Boilermakers
and Shipbuilders, in charge of the
strike, said 500 men were out. Ran
road men dispute these figures, say
ing many of the men remained at their
posts and places of those who struck
were filed by non-union men.
The controversy started over an al
legged piecework clause in the contract
between the men and the company.
This the railroad officials emphatical-
ly asserted has not been violated by
them, but the boilermnhers are equal
ly emphatic that it has been broken.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 20--Although

democratic opponents worried a bit

little later when two republicans of

for William F. Sheehan, the demo-

The report that Assemblyman Har-

ALDRICH FOR
RECIPROCITY
SENATOR WRITES PRESIDENT
THAT HE FAvoRS coNFlRMA-
TloN OF THE BILL.
Standpatters Surprised at Action Of
Author of Present Tariff Law--May
Become Leader in the Fight
in the Senate.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Aid
rica, chairman of the finance commit =
tee of the senate, has written TO
President Taft that he favors the con
firmation of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement.
Whether the letter made promises of
assistance in getting action in the SEN
ate at the present session, has not
been disclosed, but senators who have
seen the letter intimate that tae sen
ator will do all he can to aid the presi-
dent in carrying his program through.
An announcement that Senator Aid
rich, whose name is attached to the
existing tariff act, had subscribed to
the terms of the reciprocity agreement
with Canada, was received with great
surprise in the senate, especially by
the "standpat" senator's, who have
come out against the agreement on
the ground that it is not in compli-
ance with the tenets of the republican
party on the subject of protection.
Some of these senators were loath to
believe the report that the chairman
of the finance has been found on the
side of protection for every industry,
whether manufacturing, agricultural
or mining. had endorsed the presi-
dents program for freer trade with
Canada.
No announcement was made at the
White House today in respect to the
letter and there was considerable
speculation as to whether the message
would be made public. Early in the
present session Senator Aldrich was
compelled to leave Washington on ac-
count of his health. He is spending
the winter at Jekyl Island. Georgia.,
and although much better than when
he left here, it is not likely that he
will be able to take any further part
in tariff legislation for his services in
the senate will end March a. His let
ter, therefore even il made public can
have no effect other than to ease the
minds of some of .ne standpat sena-
tors who are inclined to vote for the
Canadian agreement against thei con-
victions.
| Soon after the Canadian agreement
was sent to congress and 1t was re-
ported there was little chance for ac-
tion in the senate at the present ses-
sion, President Taft wrote to Senator
Aldrich. 1t is understood the execu-
tive urged the veteran tariff billmaler
to come back and take charge of the
fight for the measure in the senate.
Senators who discussed today the
statement issued by Representative
Mccall following his Sunday interview
with President Taft, construed 1t to
mean that an extraordinary session Of
congress surely would be called by
the president in the event the senate
failed to act on the agreement, and
that the statement was issued with
the presidents sanction, if not direc-
tion. There is no doubt that 1t filled
some senators with CONSERVATION,
while some Others felt that It was only
a gentle reminder from the White
House that the 'ibig stick" was still In
working order.

House Adopts Two Thirds Rule Which

Washington, Feb. 0.-Filibustering
in the lower branch of congress dur
ing this session beca-ne thing of the
past today when the house voted by a
large majority for a rule which, when
invoked by two-thirds vote as to any
pending measure, forthwith reduces
the time Of debate to forty minutes

The house bill cuts out all of the

There is not great deal of hope
that 1t will be accepted by the senate.

BOND ISSUE
SEEMS SETTLED THAT PANAMA
BONDS WILL BE ISSUED AT
EARLY DATE.
II Securities Are Withhehld From Ma
tionaI Bank Another Form of
Three Percent Securities
viii be Used.

NdSHluSlOU, r6U. GU.-An Issue Oh
$50, 100000 to $50, 100000 Of 3 per cest
Panama bonds seems certain to be
made as soon as congress passes the
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to withhold the new securi.
ties from use as basis for additional
national bank notes.
In the event the present opposition
to the legislation affecting the bonds
should prevent its passage, an issue
of three per cent certificates OF indebt
edness having one year to run ia
probable. That is the treasury's ten
tative plan now.
In view OF the sale Of about $780,
600 industrial Improvement bonds dur
ing January and the prediction that
about $500 100000 more will find their
way to market in the next few months
treasury officials agree this is a pro-
pitious time for an issue of govern
ment securities. In any event they
would have to be issued during the
spring or early summer 1t would not
be considered practical to attempt an
issue in the fall when the crop NOV
ing season is on and money is in de-
mand
Aside from that, Secretary Mac
Veagh wants TO make the issue a
popular one. Recent statistics which
were gathered for him by Assistant
Secretary Andrew show that more
than four -fifths of the bonds of the
United States are owned by the
banks and that only 10000 individuals
out Of population of 92,000,000 are
registered as holders of government
securities, while France, with popu-
lation of 40Oo0,oO0. has more than S.
100000 investors. Treasury officials
interpret the demand in some parts
OF the country for system of bank
deposit guarantee and the response to
the establishment of the postal saw
ings system as indicating popular
demand for government secured means
OF investment such as would be pre-
sented by bonds available to the pub
lie Secretary MavVeagh believes t1at
can be accomplished only by withhold
ing from future issues the circula-
ton privileges which has tended to
keep United States bonds in the hands
OF the bankers.
Secretary MacVeigh is opposed to
any further increase in national bank
notes He and his advisors take the
position that there is no relation
between the demand of the country
TO build the canal and for currency
1t is pointed out by those who argue
thus that the issue of national bank
notes has increased since 1900 from
$500, 100000 in 1896 to more than
300 900. Treasury officials haiu
that coupled with the great increase
In the gold stock from $6O0,OOO,oOo IN
1896 to 81 500, 100000 IN 1917 has peon
one of the factors in the general rise
in prices The per capita wealth OF
the nation increasing e5 per cent. II
the last fifteen years is regarded as
indicating a plethora of currency.
To issue more bonds on the olo
basis, Secretary MacVeagh teeis
would be to add artificially to the sup
ply OF currency and augment the gen
eral rise in prices.
Taking these things into account
treasury officials are inclined, II 'ht
legislation in congress fails, to DOT
row on short term notes.
