BIG GAIN
IN BANK CLEARINGS

A gain of 1874 per cent in bank
clearings of Tulsa was registered dur
ing the past week over corresponding
week of last year, according to fig
ures made public yesterday afternoop
by the clearing house association.
The clearings for the week, which
closed yesterday. were the second
highest in the history of Tulsa, beins
exceeded only by the week in which
they were stimulated by the transfer
of the White and Sinclair oil holdings
to the Okla OIL company.
The total clearings for the past
week were $3,76S,SS0, as against
$1.463.S8l for the corresponding week
OF 1916. 1t is expected that this
weeks clearings will exceed those OF
any city in the state. as was the case
last week when the Tulsa clearngs
were $3,3eS,961, as compared with
Oklahoma City's clearings of s3,115,-

A resolution demanding a radical re.
vision in the wage scale OF engineers
and firemen employed in the coal
mines of Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. was brought before the bien.
NAL district convention of the United
Mine Workers today. This resolution
was adopted last month at meeting
held in McAlester, Okla. by represen-
tatiVes OF the engineers and firemen,
members of the Mine Workers union
who demand consideration of their
CLAIMS at the coming wage scale con-
terence OF the southwest. to oe held
In Kansas City. The hosting engi-
neers demand the abolition of the
present nine-hour day and the sub
stltution OF an eight-hour day. with a
minimum monthly wage of sS7.77,
with 26 working days to the month.
They want one engineer for every en-
gine and demand contract that VIII
prohibit firemen from taking the
places of the engineers or the enei-
neers taking the firemen's places, as is
practiced at present. If the engineer
Is in charge of generator the res6s-
luton demands two hours extra pav

minimum wage of $2.G5 for the fire
men is sought. If fireman has three
boilers to attend he is to be allowed
one helper and If more than three
boilers second fireman is TO be en-
pioyed, the resolution says. The res
olution came before the convention

who Can smile These Days?

The folks who think they can make
the world better by inducing a smile
once in Il while are having a hard
time these days The Man About
Town has miserably failed this morn
ing in the preparation Of his daily
contribution, for the heart is heavy

bic consequences of the ultimatum
sent to Germany and the firm convic
tion that troubles have only begun
In Mexico. The whole world seems
To be in the midst of a chastening
process and it will be "A miracle If
the suction of the abyss does not

The mere severing of diplomatic

seems to the writer like cowardice.
unless followed by a display OF arms.
1t is hardly the American spirit to
allow others to shed thcir glood while
we fatten on their sacrifice. particu-
larly when we admit that the same
enemy has offended us also. True.
we may stay out, but shall we ever
dare to look the rest of the world
In the face again? When once diplo-
matte relations are cut off with the
German people, we have confessed
that their sins against the recognized
laws of humanity are so outrageous
that we can no longer fraternize with
them. Then just two courses lie be-
fore us, and there is no third. Either
we shall simply refuse to speak to
our German friends. who have an
noyed us, or we shall in addition do
| something to aid in rightng these
wrongs, be the cost what it may.
We are not arguing as to whether
we have had sufficient provocation
| to drive us to war. our point is that
the logic of breaking off diplomatic
| relations will actually compel us TO
! go to war. unless Germany imme-
diately changes her submarine war
fare. which in turn would mean a
resumption OF relations.
Nobody hopes more than the Man
About Town that some happy turn of
affairs may yet save us from this
peril. No use crying over spilled milk,
but had firm. unequivocal course
been taken by our diplomats in the
start, and Germany been told thus
far shalt thou go and no farther" the
present crisis might have been
avoided and q lot of perfumed sta
tionery saved, to say nothing of the
horrors that may come. Fortunately
national election comes this year
and the people will know better what
they want than they did four years
ago.
