made by James Miller. according to a
statement made yesterday by Thomas

ran said. as Miller was heavily bonded.

the clerk. who was employed In the loan
and security department. abstracted &C.
curi,iss from collateral envelopes and
sold them. He cashed the securities
with a downtown brokerage firm and
then played the market. hoping to re.
turn the money before discovery should
be made.
When the amounts sold reached the
tens OF thousands the men with whom
Miller hypothecated the securities be-
came curious to know how he was OBJ
tanning the bonds and other papers.
When they found he was only a clerk
they made Inquiries at the bank and the
bank officials discovered that some Of
the security envelopes were empty.
The bonding company was notified and
Miller was called before its representa-
tives and Mr.. Cochran. II was then.
according to Mr.. Cochran. that he con-
fessed. Miller severed his connection
with the par at once and the bonding
company employed detectives to watch
him.

Members to Appear Before
Congress Committee.

\ special meeting OF the national
council Of the United States Chamber
or Commerce has been called for Thurs
day and Friday in Washington to pre-
pare for appearance before the joint
committee OF Congress, headed by Sem
Monday to consider questions relating
to railroads.
A plan to insure the continuous opera
ton OF public utilities by preventing in
corruption by strikes has been prepared
by the Merchants Association of New
York and submitted to a referendum
vote OF the members of the United States
chamber. The latter will urge the Con-
gress committee to consider legislation
framed upon the lines OF the Canadian
disputes act for the prevention Of trans
portation paralysis originating from
labor troubles and for public investiga-
ton OF the merits OF labor disputes In
order that public sentiment can be
formed upon the facts before a strike
can take place.
The chamber will also urge that the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
some other official body receive power
to establish minimum wages, while EN-.
ployees get the right to appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for re.
dress of grievances In the same manner
that n shipper may now appeal In case.
Involving rates. h proposal would
give an employee the right to cease work
within thirty days after a decision upor
his application. but would make a crime
OF conspiracy to interrupt the operation
OF public utilities.
