No one would ever have thought
that Catherine Leonard would ever

white lights and high life. She was
austere, religious, almost puritanic-
ally straight-laced.
She was not especially beautiful,
though possessed of a winsome,
sweet face that wore a continually
wistful look.
But Catherine longed for adventure.

She went to live with her sister,

Conors said the head of the general
committee of the trainmen signed a
contract with the general manager
of the railroad to supply them with
men in case the switchmen went out
on strike. He said the same organ

lockout and the Hartman strike. He
said they had scabbed on the mem

they went out on strike in Pittsburgh.
Connors also denounced Pres.
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor for hobnobbing
with the heads of the trainmen broth

the hall to take chargs of the men

States as a creditor nation in the com mercial competition which probably will result when the war closes, and to pro- vide ready means to offset any tendency on the part of the foreign bankers to withdraw the huge supply of gold accum- ulated here during the war.
 The action marks a, radical departure from the previous financial policy of the country, inasmuch as it places the gov ernments of the United States and Great Britain, for the first time, in direct, con tinual financial relationship.
 The first effect, it is thought, will be no- ticeable in transactions which might otherwise involve the exportation of gold from this country. as the connection with the Bank of England will afford chan nel through which American banks can readily purchase British notes and securi- ties to meet any tendency toward gold exportations. It also will tend, officials believe, to bring about better feeling and understanding between the bankers of the two countries. Whether operations through the connection will be extensive officials admit, is difficult of forecast.
 The effect of the relationship. probably will be studied carefully before similar authorizations are made in the case of other government controlled banks abroad.
