Conference Called for Sept. 4.
The conference of clearinghouse
heads with officials of the treasury
department and members of the feder-
al reserve board, called for Sept. 4,
will also give consideration to matters
proposed to be brought out by the
circular referred to. Another question
to be considered is protection to the
gold supply. Apart from the necessity
of meeting the obligations against the
United States held by Europeans,
which are soon to mature, other diff
culties are feared with respect to the
gold supply, due to the shifting of
bank reserve, which will take place
when the federal reserve system is
organized.

RESERVE BOARD
CALLSFOR BANK
STATEMENT
PROPOSITION OF DELAYING DATE
OF OPENING RESERVE BANKS
CONSIDERED. SOME BANKERS
ADVISE WAITING.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The fedora
reserve board is facing the problem
of whether the regional reserve
banks are to be opened within the
next thirty days or delayed until the
financial situation, so badly affected
by the European war, is in better con
dition. The board put out circular
letter of inquiry to the eight thousand
and more member banks of the re-
giOnal reserve system.
Following completion of the board
by confirmation of the presidents S
nominees, the country became eXpec-
tant for Inauguration of the new bank
ing system without delay. Prostra-
ton of the entire system of foreign
exchange brought forward the neces-
sity of it, since the law provides spec
tally for an extended and more com
prehensive system to be applied to
our financial dealings abroad. Many
letters have reached the treasury de-
partment and members of the reserve
board however, cautioning the board
to go slow in organizing the system,
and asserting that the present IS not
propitious, owing to the unsettled con
ditions rising out of the war and the
disturbed state of the banking busl-
ness abroad. Similar view is credited
to Paul NJ. Warburg. member of the
board and banker of international
reputation, and it was urged upon
Secretary McAdoo that the reserve
board go no further for the present
in organization of reserve banks.
Some Urge Delay.
1t is understood that Secretary Nc
Adoo. Comptroller Williams and
Charles S. .Hamlin, governor Of the
board, have taken the position there
should be no delay, but that the new
system ought to be placed in opera
ton by Oct. l at the latest. To meet
the views expressed in the letters
that the financial situation be first
given a chance to brighten, Comptrol-
Ter Williams authorized the circular
inquiry sent TO the member banks.
Banks are being asked to send two
statements, one showing the condition
at the close of business Aug. 81, the
other what the condition would ap-
pear to be if the first installment OF
per cent had been paid on subscrip-
tion to the regional reserve bank on
that date, and if new reserve require
ments had at that time gone into ef-
feet. and transfer of proportionate
amount of reserve had been made to
the regional reserve bank. While
capital stock payments and reserve
need not be made simulta-
neously, for the purpose of this state
ment it will be assumed they will be
so made.

 COLORADO STRIKE
conoressional Committee is at Work in Denver and Will Make
 Thorough Investigation.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 10.-The con- ;ressional committee authorized by congress to investigate the condi- tions of the striking coal miners in this state and the copper strikers in Michigan, met here today and com menced the work of probing the un- satisfactory conditions now existing.
 Strikers called to testify before the committee stated that many of their number had been held in peon- age by the operating companies; that they were constantly in debt to the mining operators through excessive charges for rent and supplies fur nished by the companies.
 It was also testif1ed and sworn 10 that the soldiers under General John Chase had used outrageous methods in order to bring the strikers to time: that in one instance striker was kept awake for five days and nights while 2 prisoner by the guards prod ding him in the body with their bay onets
 The strikers will be given every opportunity to present their cases, when the operators will also be asked to testify.
 The committee is to investigate fully the cause of the strike, the re- sponsibility for the lawlessness, the justification for the patrol of troops at the mine and the profits of the operators as related to the wages paid the miners.

WILSON AGAINST
 FREE CANAL TOLLS
Refuses to Explain in Detail, But Says Change Has Come Over Our
 International Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-President Wilson stated today to the newspaper men at his weekly conference with press representatives that great change had come over the interna- tional relations of this government since the Baltimore convention plac- ed the plank in the Democratic plat form favoring free tolls for American coastwise ships using the Panama ca nal, and he favored the repeal of that section of the platform.
 The president refused to explain any further his reasons for wishing the change except to say that he now favored it.
 A close friend of the adminstra- ton is credited with having stated that the State department had de- termined to urge the repeal of the canal law, which is obnoxious to the powers of Europe because of the fric- tion it has caused the United States in it's dealings with European coun- tries, especially England, Germany and Spain, resulting in many small annoyances to the diplomatic corps, and particularly the inability of the department to negotiate treaties or secure cooperation in the Mexican situation. The failure of the depart ment to come to an agreement with Japan, the effort to clear up the Co., lombia dispute, with Mexico in an uproar and strong pressure being ex- erted on the administration to inter- vene, coupled with the unsatisfactory condition of our relations with Japan, has caused the department to wish to eliminate all European hostility.
 The State department, it is stated, is overburdened with unsettled dis putes and sees no light ahead un- til the canal dispute is disposed of.
