BITTER
FEELING
IS SHOWN

Hancock, Feb. 12.-Although the
thermometer registered IL below zero,
an electric fan was set buzzing in the
council chamber, while the congress
sional committee was in session on the
copper strike inquiry. The air was
so heavy in the densely packed hall
that Chairman Taylor, shivering in his
great coat, started a cold wave in cir
culation by the fan. The i'll feeling
beneath the veneer of politeness which
the opposing counsels have shown to-
ward each other thus far became ap-
parent when Attorney Hilton for the
strikers read into the record a num-
ber of pay slips for the avowed pur-
pose of proving "a system at once un-
fair and oppressive"
The slips showed the mining COM
panies were accustomed to take out OF
the employees pay the amount he owed
the store keeper. sometimes leaving
nothing. Counsel for the operators
made heated objections.

Today marks the 105th anniversary
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the
savior of his country.
Throughout the nation tribute is be-
ing paid to the memory of the great
soul who bore the burden of the great
civil war and as much as any one man
preserved the country founded less
than century before, and who gave
liberty and an equal opportunity to a
race of mankind formerly held in bon
dage
The story of the rail-splitter is so
we'll known that it needs no repetition
here. It is the story of American op-
portunity that appeals to every child
and stirs every patriotic heart.
It is more than appropriate that the
nation which owes to him such a debt
should always honor the name and
memory OF Abrham Lincoln, the first
martyred president of the United
States. s-....

The BANKS
CANNOT Be
DEPENDENT

New Orleans, Feb. 1.-THE plans of
the trainers of the new currency law
that each regional reserve district
should be Independent Of the other
districts, are impossible of realization
in the opinion of most of the bankers
appearing before the federal regional
bank organization commission.
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston, in
stating this feature Of the law to the
witnesses have been met with the ar
gunent that independence was i'm
possible during the crop maying sea
son. 1t is pointed out that 80 per cent
of the crops of the country are moved
about the same time, and during that
time any district which might be de-
fined, with the possible exception OF
the one embracing New York and ad-
jacent territory, would be a borrow
