After the hearings here had been
concluded yesterday. Secretary Nc
Adoo was asked whether he had been
impressed by the arguments advance
ed, almost unanimously by the New
York bankers who have appeared, in
favor of the establishment here of d
regional bank Of such size that it
would overshadow all the others.
Il hope" the. secretary said smiling
ly. that 1 am not as green as l
look"
Mr.. McAdoo. allowed his questioners
to draw their own inferences as to
what he meant. He would say moth
ing more, further than that the COM
mittee had reached no conclusions.
Those who attended the hearings
ap1 listened to the objections raised
by the committee to the proposal for
a huge New York bank believed the
most probable solution of the ques-
tion, in the light of evidence so far
adduced, was the placing of three or
four regional banks on or near the
Atlantic seaboard, instead of having
one large. district centering in New
York and including New England and
part or all the middle Atlantic states.
The cities most frequently mention
ed in this connection were New York
Boston, Baltimore and Atlanta. Wash
ington and Philadelphia also were al
luded to often, but it was the opinion
of a majority Of the witnesses that

on the grievances and arrive at
peaceful settlement. He said that the
labor market here had been under
stocked for several years previous to
the strike and that there was more
reaso for Increasing wages than low
ering them.
Each said that when he and his
coadjutors tried to stavc off the strike
they had been accused of selling out 10
the companies. Hletala said that "a
lot of fellows" had so accused him and
Antala said that one hundred union
members had berated him for his atti-
tude.
The former told the governor that
ballot boxes had been open four days
for vote on the strike question and
that count on July 6 showed approxI-
mately 1850 for the strike and about
125 against the proposition. He said
the membership of the various To-
Gals was then about 5000 approximate
ly 1900 having failed to vote because
of absence or Indifference.
These figures led the governor to in
quire about the present strength. He
was given figures taken from the dis
trict council records showing a total OF
S'Si6 men now In the district, of whom
7,7l0 were OH the relief rolls. Hietala
estimated that about 5000 union men
had left the district. He explained the
difference between the total member
ship and the relief roll as representing
the men who had been able to support
themselves without aid from the uniGn,
and instanced the cases of twenty-five
men, who he said, had made their first
applications for strike benefits only last
week.
Then the governor again went into
the situation in the union before tho
strike was called and asked Mr.. Hilton
why the national officers OF the union,
had opposed the action. ~
Because they felt that strike
would entail great expense and con-
siderable suffering, and because it was

perfume for the inauguration of any
such industrial disturbance" was the
reply. ..-.a.,-
The governor told the union men
that he expected to talk with the mine
managers and asked them to give him
what they considered the crux OF the
situation. A typical reply came from

tive Of Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri-

'Yet they ask the men to deal singlY
with a combination of corporations. II
strikes me that it is time for the COM
panies to wake up"

tlement than am" the governor said.
'I believe that corporations generally

ployes. There is no question OF the

and the only question confronting mo

Baltimore was entitled to preference
over either of these cities. Washing
ton was objected to because no large
commercial interests center in that
city, although some of the witnesses
said it would be Of advantage to es-
tablish a bank there to be in close
touch with the federal board. Argu-
ments in favor of Baltimore rather
than Philadelphia were based on the
supposed advisability of a more equal
geographical distribution Of the re-
gional banks, it being thought that
New York and Philadelphia were in
too close proximity to have each a
bank. 1t was said also that Balti-
more, by reason of its location and
foreign and domestic trade affiliations
would serve better than Philadelphia,
the state of Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia. and other territory
north Of the section which may be
attached to Atlanta.
AS for the remainder of the coun-
try, the most commonly expressed
opinion was that banks should be es-
tablished at Chicago, st. Louis, San
Francisco and New Orleans. Many
other cities were mentioned for the
remaining banks, but the opinion Of
witnesses was widely divided as to
the preferable ones. Denver, Omaha,
st. Paul, Minneapolis. Spokane, Seat
tie, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Dallas. Houston,
Tex, and Pittsburgh were Suggested
bv various bankers.

show that in the last thirty years the
death rate in England and Wales, de-
, creased from 1914 to 14.7; Germany,
from 25.3 to 17.9, and that of American
cities from 23.1 to 16.2.
''There is not a question of doubt
concerning the general improvement
in health conditions throughout the
world" concluded Hoffman.

which they had labored and the pay

es of some of the men with special
police and other officers.
AS vas expected the union men
stood on their proposition to John B.
Densmore of the department Of labor,
so far as a settlement of the strike
was concerned. 1t was revealed at the
hearing that the federation had pro-
posed that the hours of labor and
rates of pay posted by the mining
companies on Dec 1 would be allowed
to stand; that the one man drill
grievance was not mentioned and that
the question Of reception was to be
obviated by a determination
clause.
In addition the union delegation en-
phasized that since the strike was
called only after a referendum vote
had shown a big majority of the rank
and file insistent on 1t, any PROPOSE
ton for q settlement must be passed
on by the general membership. G. N.
Hilton, chief counsel of the fedora
ton, told the governor that neither he
or Charles H. Meyer, nor any other
official of the federation had any au-
thority to stop the strike. He indi-
Gated, however, that the officers of the
union were willing to recommend to
the men any basis OF settlement that

or other organization that suited their
fancy.
Throughout the hearing the part
that local men had taken in the affair
was kept we'll to the front. The men
delivered brief autobiographies, prac-
tically all witnesses having started to
labor when less than IS years old and
having been underground for from
fifteen to twenty-five years. They
had been drill boys. trammers. miners
and timber men and their pay had

London, Jan. S.-Summonses against
sixteen British army officials and ci-
Villains were granted by the police
magistrate at the Bow street court.
This action precipitated a report that
a scandal Of tremendous proportions
will be revealed Jan. II, when these
men will be called to answer charges
in connection with the management
Of canteens in the army barracks. The
army officers concerned are alleged to
have engaged in systematic bribery
for a long period.
A secret army inquiry showed such
widespread corruption that the war
office decided to turn its evidence over
to the civil authorities, fearing the
proposed courtmartial would not have
sufficiently wide jurisdiction to deal
properly with the situation.
