ply of the notes will be placed In his
custody.
Should a regional bank desire to
pay out more money than its cash re-
sources will permit. the law provides
that 1T may put some of its rediscount-
ed commercial paper into the hands
of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes.
For each note that 1t puts out into
circulation, the regional reserve bank
must set aside in gold 40 per cent. of
the value of the note as a guarantee
for its redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury.
Reserve Required.
Each regional bank, under the act,
must keep a reserve of 35 per cent. of
the deposits 1t has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
low 40 per cent. heavy tax is i'm
posed on the bank, which In turn adds
the tax to the rate 1t charges member
banks for rediscounts. This was de-.
signed to stop an over-expansion of
currency. In times of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order to
furnish quick relief to any commu.
nifty.
Take Up Bonds.
None of the existing forms of cur
rency except the national bank notes
will be disturbed by the new law. The
United States bonds, now used to Sc
cure the issue Of national bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate of $685.
100000 year by the regional re-
serve banks and new treasury notes
or short term three per cent. bonds
will take their place. National bank
currency is expected gradually to re-
tire.
The federal reserve board will exer.
else final control over the entire op-
GRAFTON of the system. 1t can compel
one regional bank to loan to another
in time OF need; can suspend all re-
strictions surroundings the reserves
which regional banks must hold, and
can remove directors Of regional re-
serve banks whenever 1t is believed
necessary.
Banks In Control.
While the banks retain control of
the boards Of the regional reserve
banks. their connection with the fed
eral reserve board is only through
an advisory board is only though
an advisory council, made up of one
representative from each federal re-
serve district. This council will meet
In Washington to confer with the fed
eral reserve board ION general bust
ness conditions" and to make recon-
mendations and suggestions concern
Ing discount rates, note Issues, and re-
serve conditions.
An important change in national
banking methods embraced In the new
law will permit all national banks ex-
cept those in New York, Chicago and
st. Louis to make direct loans on five
year farm mortgages up to 25 per cent
Of their capital and surplus, or up to
one-third Of their time deposits.

Charles II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, during
his stop here en- route to Chicago.
Meyer occupied his berth, and his
pillow and bed linen were stained with
the blood from wounds in his scalp and
back. He was good-natured, despite
his wounds, and said that after they
got "healed up in Chicago he would
return to Calumet and fight those
mine-owners to the last!"
"At $3.50 O'clock" said Mr.. Meyer,
Sheriff Cruise and about fifteen other
men came to my room to ask me about
arrangements for tho burial of the
poor persons who met their deaths in
the Christmas catastrophe. They re-
mained about fifteen minutes, and left
after l had lold them that the West
ern Federation of Miners and the labor
organizations of the country could
and would care for their own unfor-
tunates.

before the committee of citizens could
leave the room, fifteen ruffians burst
into the room. l was standing at the

and held me, while another man came
up from behind and struck me with
the butt of his revolver ON the head.
Then there was the report of gun
and felt a piercing sensation in my
back. do not think that anyone shot
me deliberately. l think that the gun
used in hitting me on the head was
discharged during the action.
Then two men got hold of my arms
and dragged me out of the hotel.
Down the street we went. When two
men became tired, two other huskies
took hold Of me and although l was
on my feet part of the time, yet for
blocks l was dragged.
when we reached the station
James McNaughton, general manager
and vice president of the Calumet g.

bile. He rushed up to me and said

Then he continued to abuse me in
the vilest manner. When the train
left, was thrown bodily onto it. Two
men, who claimed to be deputy sher-
