BRITISH STRIKE Is SETTLED.
Railway Will Take Engineer Back
Keinstatc Contract Breaker.

London. Dec. GA settlement was
reached today In what is known al
the right to drink" strike on the
Northeastern railway. The company
agrees to reinstate Engineer Knox a,
once X the home Office inquiry proves
that he was not drunk on the occasion
when he was convicted by the local
magistrate. and all the men on strike
Will be allowed to resume work.
The men who struck work in def
ance of contracts existing between
their unions and the are to
be fined six days pay, and not a man
who pays the fine will be proceeded
against for breach Of contract.
AS the London police magistrate,
VINO was sent to Newcastle by the
home office to investigate the circum-
stances of Knox's conviction, has al
ready expressed the opinion that the
driver was not legally drunk" it is
thought probable that his conviction
Will be quashed by the home Office.
According to one report Knox will
receive a free pardon from the king.
1t Is currently reported that one of
the grounds on which the strike was
declared on knoS's behalf. despite the
objections raised by the unions, was
that the company's directors some

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

Commenting on the report Of the
proceedings Of the National Society
FOR the Promotion of Industrial Edu-
cation. which has just held Its sixth
annual convention in Philadelphia.
the Winnipeg Free Press says:
I'm u own country we are familiar
with the idea Of strong central control
Of education In each province. Among
h Americans the practice has been
to depend largely upon local control,
allowing to the state governments a
comparatively slight share in the di.
rection Of educational policy. At the
present time, however. strong efforts
are being made to induce the state
governments to consider vocational
education as a state and not merely
. local problem. ana to grant aid from
tho state treasury for this branch Of
public instruction.
It is significant that nearly one-third
Of the printed report Of the convention
Il devoted to the problem Of the sup
ply Of teachers for those vocational
schools. Vocational schools cannot
be successfully taught by mechanics.
Nor can they DO successfully taught
by teachers trained In the ordinary
normal schools. Tho former, it APP
Pears, are frequently hampered by "a
narrow viewpoint Of the purpose of
the training and the method Of con.
Quoting IT," and by "a one-sided and
even p%re3udiced interest in the social.

BANKING CONCENTRATION.

IN B leeIef publlShed recently IN a
New York newspaper A. Piatt An
drew, formerly assistant secretary Of
the treasury of the United States, un-
dertook to show the assertions made
that the business Of banking In this
country wss becoming concentrated
In the city Of New York are incorrect.
Mr.. Andrew ought to be conversant
with the subject on which he writes.
and It - presumed that the figures
which he quotes are correct. Among
other things he furnishes the follow
ing statistics:
Total number Of banks in United
States. 36,l7e.
In 1900 there was. as reported. a
separate bank to every 1887 Of pop.
ulation.
In 1913 there Is . separate bank to
every 3.7Ss Of population.
In Great Britain there is a separate
bank to every 3ss.o03 Of population.
In 1900 New York city's proportion
Of tho country's banking resources
was, In per CEN 28.2.
In 1912 this proportion had fallen
in per cent to 1873.
In 1905 ten London banks held SO
per cent Of England's total CONNER
cial deposits.
-Four Paris banks held IS per
cent Of Frances total deposits, as re-
ported.
In. New York today the ten largest
financial institutions hold only 7.6 of
the country's deposits.
Tho members Of tho London clear
ing house number L..
The members Of the Paris clearing
house number IL.
The members of the Berlin clearing
house number ~.
The members Of the New York city
clearing house number 81.
From these and other figures which
he Celebrates in his article he reasons
that the belief in a money trust in
New York city Is unfounded. On the
contrary. his figures appear to show
tina New York is doing q smaller
share of the country's banking than
it did twelve years ago. 1t is not safe.
however, for the layman to form con-
illusions from q set Of figures relating
i" Il subject with which he is unfa-
miliar. And there are few subjects
with which the average man is less
FAMILIAR than that of banking. For
instance. in this country there is a
separate bank for every 1888 Of the
population. In Great Britain there is
Il separate bank to every 38S. 1908 of
the population. Apparently we are
TO conclude that tho banking business
OF Great Britain is one hundred times
as concentrated as it is in this coun-
try. That is an enormous difference.
Does 1t really exit? To understand
just what the figures mean we must
understand something of the condi-
tions on which they are based. We
must know to what extent branch
banking is carried on in Great Britain,
and to what extent a similar effect
il brought about in this country
through "chain" banks which are re.
ally branches OF central organizations
but which appear on the books as in
dependent concerns. There are man,
such things that we need to know

before we can understand exactly
what these figures mean.
MIR. Andrew, however. makes the
assertion. and supports it by figures.
that business is growing faster than
banking. and that the notes and COM
mercial paper of industrial concerns
are greater in proportion to the bank
ing facilities than We're similar Sc
curities to the banking facilities of u
dozen years ago. The conclusion IL,
Of course. that there Is need for ma
terial enlargement Of the banking
business. in order that the business
Of tho country may be transacted
promptly, conveniently and safely,
