GENERAL STRIKE OF
TRACTION MEN IN
LONDON IMMINENT
(continued from Page one,


Negotiation between the strikers and the
railway officials at Liverpool are sus-
pended because the latter declined TO dis
cuss the refusal of the men to handle
goods from Dublin. The companies will
only reinstate the men on condition that
they handle all freight without discrim-
1nation.
In Dublin additional firms closed down
today. What little work was done at
the docks was under police protection.
Profiting by the experience of yesterdays S
riots, the authorities diverted the street
cars from the routes followed by the pro-
cessions of strikers. Many strikers are
on the verge of starvation and the be-
lief Is becoming general that the work
men will soon be starved into submis-
sion. The opposition of the Catholic clergy
to the transport workers union is grow
ing.
James Larkin, the leader Of the union,
denies the reports of threatened starva-
ton and asserts that food and coal are
being sent to the strikers in increasing
quantities from England and Scotland
The situation is becoming graver in
Manchester. If the carriers fulfill their
threat to strike the traffic of the port
will come to complete standstill The
only item to the credit of Industrial peace
today was an agreement on the basis
for settlement of the London building
trades strike.

BRYAN GIVES VIEWS
ON CURRENCY BILL
Speaks Before American In
stitute of Banking in Ses-
sion at Richmond

Richmond. Va. September 1s.-sen-
sion of the American Institute of Bank
ers in convention here today.
He spoke on currency Legislation"
He attacked the democratic currency
bill now in Congress pending.
Secretary of State Bryan delivered
before the convention virtually his
first public speech of the currency bill
passed by the House today.
Banks exist for the accommodation
of the public and not for the control
of commerce. he said.
He added that this was his sense of
the situation.
Mr. Bryan said In the single sentence
was found fundamental truth. He
said all banking legislation should be
founded ON this.
1t was the keynote of his speech
I'VE have had for two generations"
he said, .'legislation on banking sys-
tens. but they have been almost uni
versally framed in favor of the bank
ers. There can be only one purpose
in placing money in banks, that is to
get it out again for circulation"
Mr.. Bryan declared Representative
Glass speech on the currency bill be-
fore the democratic caucus left little
TO be said on the subject. He recon-
mended it to the members of the bank
ing institute for reading.
He said the plan to form regional
reserves for the more equal distribu-
ton of the money of the country, for
the decentralization of national
finances was a step In the right diree-
tion.
The Owens Glass bill was not draft
ed with the idea of centraliza .ion," he
said. There has been too mach con-
centration. There has been too much
Wall streetism. | am in favor of this
system of regional banks, for in 1t
see help for the smaller institutions
1t has been objected to and it is said
the government should not issue the
money of the country. We hear such
objection only in times of peace.
In times of war there is no ques-
tion who should issue the money. 1t
must be the United States govern
ment"
Amid cheers, the secretary departed
from the platform.
