Strike on Hartman
Lines Settles Into
Test of Endurance

CHICAGO. oct. 22-Thc strike of the
shopmen on the Hartman lines for the
recognition Of their federation, now In
its second month. has settled into a test
of strength and endurance. i'm which both
sides are making daily claims OF gains.
Contradictory statements have eman-
ated from the two camps almost daily
since the beginning of the struggle, the
railroads claiming TO be working with
practically fun forces while the men have
asserted that the roads were so handl-
caped that, they expressly said, a COM
plete surrender was expected any time.
So far the struggle. which In point OF
numbers Of men and extent of territory
affected is one of the greatest in the in
dustrial history in the United States, has
been conducted with little violence. This
resulted. the railroad officials say, from
the early example OF the Illinois Central
officers in obtaining federal injunctions
restraining the former employees from in
terferlng with the road.
Vice President Kruttschntt of the
Hartman lines said today that the west
ern roads were working regularly and
that the road was not hampcred by the
strike; that men had returned regularly
since the day the strike was called
Practically the same statement was made
by Vice President Park of tho Illinois
Central. Neither would make a definite
statement of the number of employees on
their pay rolls nor an estimate OF the

Resolved, That public drinking places,

arise and tell what he knows to he the

be no doubt that the sale OF liquor In

What Is tie USE however, of adopting
resolutions like these when it IL well
known that most of the improper places

Expects to Secure
Jury by January !

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. PA Jury
In the Mcnamara murder trial by Janu-
airy l, 1912, was the prediction made to-
day by Attorney Clarence s. Darrow,
chief of counsel for the defense,
With no court session today, opposing
counsel took opportunity TO clear UP .he
flag ends OF the first complete court week
in the trial OF James b. Mcnamara fol
the murder of Charles J. Haggerty in
the Los Angeles Times explosion.
Attorney Darrow's statement was
based. he said. partly on progress made
thus far. which shows three talesmen
in the jury box subject to peremptory
challenge. but more upon the opposition
manifested by talesmen TO infliction of
the death penalty on circumstantial evil
dence, or, i'm some instances, under any
conditions
1T is getting harder all the time to get
a jury in a murder case, according to
my experience" said Mr.. Darrow. The
defense expects that this sentiment will
form a considerable obstacle"
The state has already made public some
OF its direct evidence in the case, includ-
Ing the statement made by Orue Nc
Manigal duplicating the defendant and is
known not to be dependent on circum-
stantial evidence altogether, but District
Attorney John ID. Fredericks has taken
the position that the people are entitled
to a jury which will convict entirely
upon circumstantial evidence IL a case
beyond reasonable doubt is made that
way, and this position was sustained by
Judge Walter BordweIl.

HILL ON MONETARY PLAN
Magnate Appears Before National
Commission at St. Paul.
HE SUGGESTS NOTIFICATIONS

citation should Have only
Ono Vote,

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Oct. 22--J. ]. IIill APP
peared unexpectedly before the National
Monetary commission late yesterday
afternoon to give his opinion on a flnan-
cial plan for the country. Chairman Vree-
land had announced early in the day that
no testimony would be taken, but that all
would be given an opportunity to offer
their views at the dinner tonight, but Mr.
Hill slgnified that he preferred TO talk
to the committee In less public manner
consequently only the members of the
committee was present besides a few
newspaper men.
He discussed the entire financial situa-
ton and at one point took issue with
members OF the committee as to what
should be held to be a lawful security.
Mr.. Hill suggested that for the purpose
OF borrowing money first class bonds and
industrial securities should be recognized
as proper security for loans by banks
Members OF the committee suggested that
good notes as now legalized should be
included in the plan. Mr. Hill cited an
instance during a recent strlngency when
he had wanted to borrow money. When
the banks were refusing loans on notes
which would at other times have been
considered as first class security he went
to New York with a lot of railroad bonds
and borrowed what money he wanted
1--WE have money in the country now"
he said. What we want is more con-
fidence. When the people have con-
fidence, the business Of the country goes
ahead
Advocates Modification.
MIR. Hill advocated modification in the
plan for the organization of the Central
Reserve association, which is under con-
sideration, with an authorized capital
stock increase from $500, 10000 to $500
100000. Each bank holding stock in the
! association should have only one vote
and no vote for stock ownership; that
there should be no government directors
on the national board; that the National
' Reserve association should be permitted
to make loans TO member-banks ON
security, consisting OF first class bonds
Of railroads and first class Industrial cor
poration bonds.
| He also advocated that the reserve as
ISOLATION should pay the government In
terest on government deposits and that
notes OF the association should not be
taxed, except after they had been IN
circulation for over sixty or ninety days
Congressman Bonynge asked Mr.. Hin
with such notifications and changes
in the plan that the commission has un,
der consideration, as you have suggested
you would then favor the organization OF
a Central Reserve association
''Unquallfiedly," Mr.. hin replied. IN
lis a necessity and the country cannot
postpone It safely for any length OF
time"
