BANKERS DRAWING
NEARER FARMERS
Urge the Need of Cooperation
and Death of "CutthrOat
Competition"

Chicago, July Need OF cooper
alton between bankers and farmers,
death to "cutthroat competition" and
the establishment Of a national plat
form aiming to bring these two indus
tries closer were emphasized at the
opening session Of the fourth banker
farmer conference here to-day.
Declaring cooperation TO be indis-
pensable in business, David R. Forgan,
president Of the Chicago Clearing
House, contrasted two fundamental
business principles, suspicious competl-
ton and commercial cooperation. He
pointed out that the former resulted in
Misunderstanding, opposition and war
and the latter in peace, harmony and
prosperity.
B. F. Harris, chairman Of the agri-
cultural commission Of the American
Bankers Association, warned against
unfair competition and urged closer
relations between the farmer and the
banker. Other speakers were J. X.

Pres. Foster Hopes to Sell
Public $l,000,000
Bonds.
STOCK DOWN TO $50;
WAS RECENTLY $125
Cut in Tuition Prices Brings a.
Big Enrolment and
New Hope.
lBy Telegraph to Tho Tribune J

Scranton, Penn, July There
seemed every likelihood tonight that
the scheme to finance the international
Correspondence Schools by a $500 600
loan from the local banks, as arranged
on June 26, would be abandoned to-
morrow. None of the bankers or bust
ness men interested in the plan held
out the slightest hope tonight that the
banks would loan Foster 100000 or
any part of that sum.
None of the six bankers elected di-
rectors at the annual meeting, who
were to have the majority control, has
qualified, and none will accept the po-
sition. so far as can be learned.
TT Foster. Of the international Cor
respondencc Schools. has apparently
given up the idea Of the bankers taking
financial control of the company. He
held a conference this afternoon until
a late hour with some of the directors
who held over, and with other members
Of the management, at which they de-
cided to put into effect economies that
would save about $4,000 a month or
100000 a year. The bankers had
planned to Top off at least 100000 a
year by similar methods.
President Foster believes that the
best way to save the schools is 20 sell
the 100000 in bonds authorized at
the annual meeting, and to-day he was
making preparations TO that end.
Should this prove the solution, he VIII
proceed, with Rufus J. Foster, Elmer
laval, T. f. Jones and B. b. Megar-
gee, the hold-over directors. to elect
six others to sake the places Of the
six bankers who have not accepted the
positions.
Plan Falls to Pieces.
The acceptance of places on the In
ternational Text Book Companys board
by these bankers was conditional on
the fund of 100000 being raised. The
loaning Of the money was also condi-
tional upon these men serving as direc-
tors. The two conditions were ele-
mentary to the plan for the financial
salvage work, and if one falls the other
falls also.
President Foster has not the slight
est doubt of his ability to float the
81 100000 in bonds among his inyest-
ing public, despite the disclosures con-
corning his stock selling operations.
And if he does sell them he will not
be bound by any OF the promises rade

as to the non-payment of dividends

The explanation Of President Fosters

the month Of June. owing 70 % per
