Only One Man Present Who Took Part in the 1907
 Conference
YOUNGER MEN HAVE
 RISEN TO OCCASION
The Loan Will be a National One, and Not Local, to Help Pay Farmers for Enormous

By HOLLAND

New York, September 16.-(Special)
 In 1907 those that remained of the gen.
 eration of great leaders for 30 years in
 finance and constructive business, at least
 in New York city, were brought into what
 proved to be their last work of cooper
 ation for the purpose of relieving a des- perate financial situation. These leaders, on the day of the October panic spontan- eously and with one accord called at the office of the late J. P. Morgan and con spicuous among them were James Still man, George F. Baker, Henry c. Prick and E. H. Hartman. Almost all of them were men of great achievement of gray hair, and some of them were contempiat- ing early retirement. These, with others, constituted that now traditional group which Hanks his Madison avenue home, and were there in session all night What they then decided upon, combined with the prompt securing of gold from London, in
 a few weeks s1oO. 900, put an end to the panic
 Eight years have passed, and now at the first meeting between representatives of Great Britain and France and repre- sentatves of American bankers, only one or those who took a prominent part in the ico-operation of 1907 was present, George F. Baker. Several others who mad some incidental part in the great work oone in 1907 were also present at the first meeting between the English and French representatives and the American bank CTS in the Morgan library Some of these have gained great success since 1907 and are now listed among the prominent American bankers.
 New Generation
 It is therefore the new generation of American financiers which has undertak en to solve a stupendous and new problem. They will doubtless be able, in co-opera- ton with the representatives from Eng land and France. to accomplish this The central figure in these negotiations Is J. P. Morgan, and there has been both in Europe and America acknowledgement of this leadership Associated with him in this work, as in all of the great inter- national financing in which the United States has had part in recent years, is Henry P. Davison. In 1907. MT. Davison was known to bankers, but not to the general public. He did not become a member of the Morgan firm until some

 The order grew rapidly, because there was great need for it, and at the first regular convention held in Indianapolis fin August, 1864, when the name was changed to "The Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gireers,' 54 divisions were represented, and the following synopsis will give an ldea of the growth and the great work that has been accomplished by it.
 The organization has been in existence, as society, 52 years and during that time has gradually increased in numbers and importance, emerging almost silently from its original obscurity until they now have S56 divisions, comprising a member ship of 74,16s of the best locomotive en- gfneerS on the continent and they have gained an enviable position by a strict adherence to their notices, "sobriety, truth, Justice and morality" vigilance, not defiance,' and do unto others as ye would they should do unto you, and so fulfill the law They stand aloof from all political bodies and sects and ig- norc all questions of creed or race, and look only to the improvement and pro- lection of the locomotive engineers and their families

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION OF BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS

In April, 1863, few engineers in the employ of the Michigan Central Railroad company conceived the idea of forming an associat ton to promote the welfare and interests of their. profession and ele- Fate tneir standing and character as men. With these objects in view, they assem- bled at the house of one of their number, ir the city of Marshal, Mich. The result of their deliberation was the. issuing of an invitation to the engineers employed on the adjacent roads to meet in the city Of Detroit, on May B.
 On the day appointed, 12 engineers met in the fire department hall on Jefferson avenue. Detroit. and, at the close of the third day, May s, 1863, P men joined hands and obliged themselves to abide by the following declaration of principles and constitution, that had been formulated
 The principles of this organization shall be to combine the interests of locomotive engineers, elevate their social, moral and intellectual standing; to guard their finan- cial interests and promote their general welfare; it's cardinal principles sobriety. truth, justice and morality

three years had passed. In 1907, the Sec- retary of the Treasury, George B. Cor telyou. gained the admiration of the great financiers by the skill with which he so brilliantly aided the financiers in meet- ing the crisis. While the present Secre- tary of the Treasury, Mir. McAdoo, is yet to be brought into conference with the bankers. nevertheless it is known to the bankers that he is disposed in every way in his power to facilitate these momentous transactions.
 There is intmation of the disposition of the federal treasury department in the statement made few days ago by the comptroller of the currency John Skel- ton Williams, who went a little outside of the conventional manner of stating

National and Not Local


 This new generation of American bank CTS look upon the negotiations now in progress as national and not local. They may be compared with the national rela- = tion of the important diplomacy which Is centered at Washington. New York is a central point and there must be some central point if negotiations of this kind are to be carried on. But the bankers of the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific will have some share for the reason that whatever be the plan that Is perfected the resources which the all lies can thereby obtain will be made avail able for the payment to American farm CTS manufa cturers. merchants and expor- ters of the bills which will represent the purchases by the allies in the United States.
 New York itself will, relatively speak ing, and as a local community. not have very conspicuous part In the sale of commodities to the allies. New York will sell some manufactured commodities but no wheat or corn or beef or cotton Is raised in this community. These come from other parts of the country.
 The bankers who have taken part In these conferences, both our own and those who represent England and France and presumably and indirectly Italy and Rus sia. have no need of demonstration of the magnitude of the financial resources are here, so also there are some great se- curities resources on the other side of the ocean. Our bankers have been informed that if 1t Is necessary the allies can send $500. 900 600 in gold to the United States. They possess probably not far from s. GOO 000. .000 in American securities. to say nothing of other securities which bank CTS would call gilt-edged For this req son, the negotiations are purely bank ing propositions, and the experience of last August and September has made it clear that the new generation of Amer ican bankers the country over Is fully competent to deal with these questions. Occasionally the comment has been made that as soon as the war Is ended the stu pendous export from the United States the leaders in the banking world. and Is presumably not the opinion of the repre- sentatives of England and France who are now here. For some years after the close of the war. the allies and very likely Germany and Austria, will be compel'sd to seek the markets of the United States for food, cotton and other commodities. and in addition to that many of the con tracts for the manufacture of munitions of war will not terminate at the expira- ton of the war but will be continued. What the American bankers in co-opera- ton with the representatives of the allies are now trying to do Is to perfect a highly artificial hut thoroughly expedient and sound method whereby farmers merchants and exporters of all kinds who do business in the United States can conveniently and receive payment for their ex- ports. q
