KUOLT CRITICISED
BY APPEAL BOARD
REPRIMANo GIVEN STATE BANK
ING COMMISSIONER FoF COM
MEHT ON DECISION.
OFFICIALS RESENT ACTION
Criticism Result Of Reversed Ruling in
Mosinee Bank case-Two Groups
Support Commissioner in
His Stand.

Madison F. z. McGovern,
Secretary of State John S. Donald and
Attorney General w. c. Owen, as the
board of repeal on charters for state
banks. have issued a statement criti-
cising Bank Commissioner A. E.
Kuolt's conduct and comment on the
boards decision last week, reversing
his ruling against the application Of
the state bank of Mosinee, and resent
ing the action of some state bankers
in writing him letters approving his
conduct and comment.
The exceedingly bad taste exhibits
ed by the commissioner of banking in
whining publicly when his decision in
the Mosinee bank case was reversed
by our board is only equaled by the
impertinence of a few individual bank
ers who have since written him pub
licly applauding him in his unmanner-
ly course" it says. THE board per-
formed disagreeable duty in revers-
ing the decision of the commissioner
of banking. In it's decision it gave its
reasons for so doing The soundness
of these reasons has neither been as
sailed nor questioned but our critics
resort instead to an unfair, undlgnified
and unbecoming appeal to prejudice.
THE members of this board wish
the public to know that they resent
the conduct of the commissioner of
banking and those who are now writ
ing him letters for publication as UNI
worthy of men of their supposed in
telligence and readiness to obey the
law"
Already two groups of bankers,
those at Madison and Green Bay, have
adopted resolutions upholding the
commissioners course in disappearing
the establishment of new banks where
facilities are adequate or the promot-
ers unworthy.

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE
NEAR ON 81 LINES
Employees of Roads West Of Chicago
Affected-Ultimstum to Board Of
Managers This Week.

Chicago, July "a strike by prac-
tically all the employees of 81 railroad
lines west of Chicago is threatened.
The executive committee of the freight
handlers, clerks, baggagemen, ware
hou semen and trainmen voted to refer
the question of walkout to strike
vote.
The question of a strike by the en-
glneers and fremen was referred to
the members of those organizations
several weeks ago. The result of the
balloting has not been received, but
members of the executive committee
say they believe the men are unani-
nous In favor of a strike.
The engineers and firemen asked for
an increase in wages The board of
railroad managers refused it. After the
matter had been referred to the men
other organizations of railroad en-
ployes attempted to have the mana
gers reduce their working hours from
ten to eight hours. At a meeting held
yesterday it was decided to join their
organizations with those OF the en-
gineers and firemen. and it is likely all
the employees will go out at the same
time IL strike is determined upon.
An ultimatum will be prepared to be
sent to the board OF managers this
week.
