Banking Situation in London
So Abnormal no Kings Advisers l!1!l
!. May Take a Hand.
TEN PER CENT CHARGED
FOR WEEKLY ADVANCES
Stock Exchange Closes, as System Of
Credit Is Practically Broken Down.
Bank Rates Increased.

LONDON, July 31.-The
banking situation in London has
become SO abnormal that it is
understood the British cabinet at
its meeting today discussed the
possibility of taking measures to
prevent a possible panic.
The Bank of England was to-
day charging 10 per. cent for
weekly advances an unprece-
dented rate.
Panic Averted So Far.
There has been nothing in the nature
Of a panic or a run. but officials have
been quietly paying out gold and silver
since the opening of the bank this morn
ing. Gable transfers on New York were
quoted at $50 and small parcels OF
coupons when offered at the banks were
only taken at the rate Of 3s Sd for the
dollar.
The Bank of England today increased
it's rate of discount to 8 per cent
This action was taken by the Bank of
England in order to check the outflow Of
gold.
It is suggested in financial circles that
the next move possibly may be the sus-
pension Of the bank act. which, regulates
the issue of bank notes in England.
The metal exchange here was closed
today on account Of the crisis.
Stock Exchange Closes.
The London Stock Exchange has been
closed until further notice. The de-
cision to close the exchange was taken
by the committee at a meeting held
this morning.
The committee also announced that the
settlement due August IS has been post
poned until August 27, and that the con-
soils settlement due August 6 has been
put over until September
Stocks which have yet to be delivered

ever, be paid for.

No subterfuge Intended.

1t was the unanimous opinion of those
present at the conference that any legis-
lation must be without subterfuge or
there would be remonstrance from the
foreign nations. Chairman Adamson ex-
pressed to the President and the others
present his opinion that the Panama ca
nal act of two years ago fully meets the
present situation. This act enables reg
istration under the American flag of for
eign vessels which have been built five
years and are owned and of1cered by
Americans AS viewed by him. Ameri-
can money ought to be able to purchase
foreign vessels and change the flags upon
them in accordance with the Panama
canal act
It was suggested to the President by
those in the conference that there may
not be so many vessels that would be
eligible for transfer to the American flag
as has been suggested in view Of the
certainty that hundreds of vessels will

Both Factions to Avert I'm.

CHICAGO. July 31.-A strike of IS, 900
firemen and engineers on ninety eight
railroads operating west of Chicago has
been set for Friday. August Z. it was
officially announced today. william s.
Stone. grand chief engineer of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
and w. S. Carter. president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. declared the order
would be put into effect unless the gen
eral managers committee Of the rail-
roads accepted the plan of settlement
proposed by the federal board of medi
alton.
In signed statement Presidents Stone
and Carter asserted that after the man
ayers committee had invoked the serv-
ices of the federal board of meditation
and conciliation the managers committee
had refused to accept the plan of settle
ment proposed by the federal inediators
and thus the burden of responsibility OF
the strike must rest upon the railroads.
Causes of Proposed Strike.
The three principal causes OF the pro-
posed strike. according to the statement
of Messrs. Stone and Carter. arc:
THE manner In which railroads have
repudiated arbitration agreements.
THE manner in which the managers
committee has excited the anger of the
engnemen In the service by their arbi-
trary attitude
Because the railroads seem determined
to force the employees to abandon the
mileage basis of pay without being able
to adopt the hourly basis of pay. the
managers attempting TO force upon the
employees an entirely new basis OF pas

After the federal mediators had de-
clared their mission a failure President
Wilson appealed to the general man.
agcrs and the unioa ofi.'als to come
to Washington and discuss the situa-
ton. Regarding this the statement
continues:
"The enginemen's committee feels that
having adopted the plan proposed by the
official representatives OF the federal gov
ernment they have done all that could
be expected OF them. Yet the engine
mems committee has instructed Messrs.
Stone and Carter to go to Washington
and assure the President that IL the
railroads will accept the plan proposed
by the federal board OF mediation no
strike would occur.

To Aid q. s. Shipping.

The principal development OF the day,
so far as the Washington government is
concerned. was a series of conferences
under which the administration is con-
sidering the advisability of the immediate
passage through Congress of a special
law that viii permit American regfstra-
ton Of foreign vessels. in the BELIEF that
such a plan would form the nucleus OF
a great merchant marine such as tne
United States had in the early days of Its
history.
The European conflict now beginning
pra cticaIly means a worldwide blockade
Of the seas against all except American
vessels and the tying up of thousands OF
steamers flying the flags of other nations.
How long this tie-up would continue and
how much the business Of the great
transatlantic lines would be hurt depends,
pean conflict. The serious feature OF
this situation would be an almost GER
tain paralysis of commerce, in which this
country would be unable to ship It's goods
and its products abroad. where they
would command high prices.
Secretary Redfield of the Depart
ment of Commerce called the attention
Of the President to the results that
would follow the paralysis of inter-
national commerce. and Mr.. Wilson at
once sent for Representative Under
wood and Senator Kern, leaders OF the
House and Senate No cabinet meet
ing was held, that the President might
have plenty of time to go over the
steamship situation with these leaders.
One of Mr.. Underwoods hobbies for
years has been the building up OF the
American marine. and nothing appeal
to HIM so much as some effort to make
a start in this direction.
