The strike lasted all that summer,
but toward the fall it began to show
signs of breaking. Many Of the men
had come back to work and strike
breakers were coming in from the
great wheat country to the west
where the end of the harvest found
many out of employment The unions
opened negotiations. The panic was
over and Allan was just beginning to
feel that all Of his troubles were over
for the time when a new and more
menacing storm gathered over his
head. In the mighty and complex
financial structure of the tunnel there
was a faint but ominous cracking.
The sound of 1t reached Allan's ears
one morning that autumn when he
was going over his mail in his New
York office. 1t was about 10 o'clock
and he was surprised by the an
nouncement that Miss Lloyd was in
the outer office and requested few
minutes interview at once.
Are you surprised to see me?" she
asked with smile as he rose to re-
ceive her. He pressed her hand in a
cordial grip.

then rang a bell.

to such qualifying clauses in the bills
Of lading.
A p. Coles. vice president of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
takes the Congressman to task.
Why British Like System.
u am quite aware of the fact that
English banks and receivers of cotton
do not object to the qualified bills of
lading," he said, The fact is, ! am
sure they heartily approve the action
or the steamship companies. Why?
Because IL gives the banks the priv
lege of accepting the drafts condition
ally which means that they will have
the right of action against all in
dorsers of the draft for any claims
that arise against the cotton by rea-
son of the conditional clauses in the
bills of lading. This also applies 10
the receivers of cotton abroad.
Heretofore claims for damaged
cotton have been made by the receiv-
ers abroad against the steamship
companies, for the reason that the
through bills Of lading have always
been without any restriction clauses
in them Now a bill of lading is
sued with the clause. Cotton wet or
Ten bales wet will mean that the
receiver may have claim on the eX-
porter. because it is so expressed in
the bill of lading.
Claim Against lndorsers.
IF the exporter fails to pay this
claim, then the accepting bank Will
have a claim against all the banks in
dorsing the bills Of exchange. This
question has been settled by the
United States courts and there is no
doubt about it.
ANY Georgia bank that will indOrse
draft drawn against cotton with
bill Of lading attached with restricted
clause in the bill of lading will be
liable for the claim against the coz
ton, notwithstanding what Congress
man Adamson has to say on the sub
iect Furthermore, the New York
banks will positivel- decline to in
dorse or handle such drafts"
