bankers by the Aldrich bill is
reserved to the people of the
United States, to be exercised by
their representatives in the Nat
ional government.
The danger Of a money panic
is reduced to a minimum and a
death-blow is delivered to the
money trust" as it has devel-
oped during the last half century
under the operations of a Nat
ional banking act.
Twelve Reserve Banks.
The Wilson-Bryan bill provides
that a committee consisting of
the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Secretary of Agriculture, and
the Comptroller of the Currency
shall divide the country into
twelve parts or regions" for the
purpose of banking operations.
In each region" a Federal re-
serve bank shall be organized.
The National and State banks in
that region shall subscribe to the
capital stock of the reserve bank
to the amount of 20 per cent OF
their capital. These regional re-
serve banks are to be controlled
by a board of directors of nine
members, three to be selected by
the member banks" three to
represent the agricultural and
industrial interests OF the region,
and three to be named by the
Federal reserve board. This
Federal reserve board is the real
keystone of the arch, and this is
where the influence of William J.
Bryan n>appears.
The Federal reserve board con-
sists of seven members, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, the Sec
retary of Agriculture, the Comp
troller of the Currency, ard four
men to be named by the Presi-
dent. The bankers are clamor-
ing for representation on this
board, but Bryan insists that the
people through their government
must retain absolute control.
The wisdom of Bryan's position
is apparent when one considers
the power vested in this board.
It is clothed with extraordinary
discretion in the matter of super
Msing and directing all the Fed
eral reserve banks, and through
them every State and National
bank in the country.
In addition it is authorized to
issue and to lend to the Federal
reserve banks National currency
to the amount of $500, 600, 600,
and so much more as may be
necessary to take the place Of the
National bank notes, which will
be gradually retired under the
provisions of this bill.
With the people in control of
the Federal reserve board. they
will be masters of the banking
situation. And that is as it should
be, for the men who control the
money of a country must of ne
cessity be in a position to control
the governmental policies of that
country. The regional reserve
banks are permitted to pay divi-
dends to the amount of 5 per cent
per annum. The earnings in ex-
cess of the sum required for this
purpose are divided between the
surplus fund of the bank and the
National government. After the
surplus fund equals so per cent of
the reserve bank, all the excess

BRILLIANT SHOWING.

Washington, May 21.-The work on
the battleshfp New York at the navy
yard in New York which is about
three-fourths completed, is sufficiently
advanced to enable an estimate as to
the actual cost Of that vessel. The
total expenditure authorized by Con
gress was $7,293,550, of which the hull
work, under the bureau of construction
and repair, was to cost $4,600,000. The
work has been conducted so efficiently
that there will probably be saving OF
about 100000 on the hull account
1t may be possible that the remaining
25 per cent of the work to be done on
the New York before completion may
lessen this estimate, but there is good
prospect that the vessel will cost con
iderab1y less than the estimate. It has
not been formally announced where
the battleship, authorized at the last
session of Congress, is to be built, the
law requiring that the construction be
done at a government navy yard, but
it is practically certain that the work
will be done at the New York yard
The showing made upon the battle
ship New York is one which is moi
only interesting, but demonstrates
that the building OF ships by the gov
eminent can be accomplished under
the eight3hou day with greater eff.
cheney and more speed than unde1
longer hours by private yards.

.NO|dcrS Vote
To Organize

Z Molders Union No. 1854 voted % to
4 in favor of all three propositions
submitted by the Trades Assembly
looking toward organizing the workers
of this city and vicinity.
This is the report coming from
every union as it takes action on this
matter with the single exception OF
the Street Railway Employees. This
failure Of this local to take favor
able action certainly must be due to a
misunderstanding of the real nature
of the proposition, and they will un-
doubtedly reverse their aculon when il
is again laid before them at the next
meeting.
The barn and track men of the rail-
way companies are not organized now
Neither are the engine room and boil
er room forces of the Wheeling Trac-
ton company, and it is the intention
Of the Forward movement to not rest
content until all are in.

Miners Strike
At Elm Grove

The strike is still Ion at the Elm
Grove coal mines, and the Chambers
bunch of EMPLOYERS have shown no
sign so far in relenting in their de-
mand for their pound ~of flesh. At
the Elm Grove Grocery "the COM
pany store" where the miners are ex-
pected to bring back as customers the
little money they receive as workers
in the mine, wonderful price slashing
is being advertised just now-on a
few things. This, the people of the
town assert, is being done for two
reasons, one to try to offset the claim
that the store charged high prices to
its employ customers, and the other
I to try to bring in some new business
20 make up for the trade that is gone,
since the strike. .
The local held a meeting and elect
ed Ed. Dayton president and Albert
n. Dennis as delegate to the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly.
Next Sunday the local will affiliate
with the Assembly and Delegate Den
mis- will present the grievances of the
miners to that body to take up. Then
| tor the first time the local central
body will take part in the affair, and
the whole weight of organized labor
in this vicinity, with its thousands of
members, will be brought to bear to-
wards helping these oppressed slaves
get out from under the lash of the
Chambers.
The cruel hearedness of the Cham
bers is shown in a remark reported
at the meeting to have been made by
III. B. Chambers: 81 can stand their
strike, I've got money enough.
He has the money that the miners
didn't get.

Hess. Lumber Co.
Violates Contract

Some time near the first of the year
the Carpenters of this district, pres
ented a new agreement to take effect
May 1st, which was accordingly sign
ed by all the contractors in the dis
trict including the Hess Lumber Co.,
but this company mad : no sooner
signed the agreement when they pro-
ceeded to violate it by attempting to
pay the men the old scale. The mat
ter was taken UP with Mr.. Hess, the
owner, but the union officials could
not get the company to comply with
the agreement, resulting in strike
being declared against this company
on Monday, May 18th, and has been
in progress since that time.
Union men and their friends are re
Hquested by the Carpenters Union te
lend their assistance in bringin;
about settlement of the matter @by
insisting that the Hess Lumber com
pany live up to a contract that has
been signed, not for the purpose OF
breaking it but to he kept the same
as any other agreement. 1t is to be
hoped that this company will realize
the unfairness of their action in the
matter and correct their error by
agreeing to comply with their con-
tract.

human comprehension. Many are

STREET CAR MEN NOW
BAR DEPUTY SHER|FFS

AS a result Of the disclosures. of
the recent past showing that, street
railway employees on the City and Elm
Grove road were serving as deputy
+sheriffs and liable to be used at any
time against their fellow workers of
other callings, Wheeling Division No.
E103 at the regular meeting Thursday
might voted a resolution that hereafter
no member of the union could serve
as deputy sheriff or constable. The
resolution is as follows.
Resolved: That Local 103 demand
of its membership that they refrain
from serving in the capacity of deputy
sheriff, constable or guard. We con-
slider those positions against the best
Interests Of organized labor, as they
|can be so used at any time"
This certainly puts Local 10S right
in the matter of the Elm Grove mine
strike, and assures that no member
|of that union viii act as guard for
strike breakers.

URGES EARLY APPOINTMENT.

Washington, May 21.-President
Wilson in an interview with Senator
Hughes of New Jersey, was urged to
Immediately appoint a new Federal
Industrial Commission, provided for
by the Sixty second Congress. 1t will
be remembered that President Taft
appointed this commission, but the
Senate failed to confirm the appoint
ments. The law requires that three
representatives of organized labor
shall be upon this commission, and
James O'ConneH, John Lennon and
President Garretson of the Order OF
Railway Conductors, were the appoint
ments to represent organized labor.
Senator Hughes told the president that
owing to the TACT that there were
serious industrial disputes in New Jer-
sey which should be investigated, it
was important that the commission be
nemed at as early date as possible

Washington, May 21.-The Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
at the instance of the House Ways and
Means Committee, has prepared a
comparative statement covering sew
enteen industries in Great Britain and
the United States. The statement
shows that the manufacturing estab-
lishments in the United States have
higher efficiency, and that two and a
half times as many wage earners and
one sixth more power are needed in
the United Kingdom than in the Uni
ted States to produce a net output OF
equal value. Average wages in the
seventeen Industries are only hall
as high in Great Britain as in the
United States, although the compari-
son shows that the wage cost to obtain
an equal value of net output in Great
Britain was 10 per cent higher.

has been three of these bureaus in ex-
istence, one each at st. Paul, Mime

existence for six years. The extension
of the system of free employment
bureaus operated by the state will be
of material benefit to those seeking
employment.
