National Banks Of u. S.
Establish Record for
Immunity From Failure

Washington, Nov. 5.-Establish-
ing record for immunity from fail
ure, national banks of the United
States have gone through the last
% months with only one enforced
closing, according to an announce
ment by John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency. The
one failure reported by Mr.. Will
liams was in 1918, no bank having
been forced to suspend during the
last ten months.
This record, Mr.. Williams said,
stands out as 80 times better than
the average for any similar period
in the 40 years life of the present
national banking system.
The tremendous strides taken by
American business, the comptroller
said, was reflected in the number
of banks increasing their capital
stock as we'll as in the granting
of new charters. According to the
comptroller's figures, 28o national
banks added total of $42, o58,000 to
their, combined capital stock during
the first ten months of this year.
In the same period last year, the
figures showed Isl national banks
increased their capital stock by a
total of S16.37o.000.

OPERATORS DENY
STATEMENT OF
LABOR LEADER
Say They Did Not Leave Meet
ing Called for Purpose Of
Trying to Settle Strike.

Washington, Nov. 5.-DeniaL~o!
Samuel Gompers' statement that
representative of the operators left
the meeting called by Secretary Will
son for the purpose of trying tc
settle the coal strike was made to-
night by the executive committee oil
the bituminous coal operators of the
central competitive fields. The op-
orators expressed willingness to pre-
sent all facts to any tribunal that
might be named by the government.
"A careful examination of Samuel
Gompers' announcement" said the
! operators statement, "discloses the
absence of a single accurate state
ment of facts. In that respect his
pronouncement is Identical with the
statement he put out last week il,
which he charged coal operators
with curtailing production to boost
prices-a statement which even Act
ing President Lewis of the miners
organization emphatically repudi-
ated.
I'm his latest statement Mr.. Com
pers goes lightly from one mac
curacy to another. He misstates
working conditions, miners ad-
vances and operators selling prices.
Deny Statement.
1T is not true that the operators
Representatives walked out of Sec
rotary Wilson's conference, leaving
Mr.. Lewis with no alternative but
TO call strike. The operators rep
resentatives accepted President Will
sons proposal in its entirety and
Withdrew from the conference in or
der that their presence might not
cmbarrass Secretary Wilson in his
effort to persuade the miners to take
the honorable course thus opened
to them. The operators advised
Secretary Wilson that they would
remain in Washington, awaiting his
call to further the conference.
ut is not true, as Mr.. Gompers
implies, that the miners are not per-
mitted by the operators to work
full time. The operators have no
control over the demand for coal.
They can merely stand ready to pro-
duce and furnish it when the public
requires and is willing to accept it.
Did Not Get Advance.
1T is not true that the miners re-
ceived an advance of 20 cents ton
in 1914 .M.
at is not true that the operators
raised the price of coal $500 ton
in 1914. On the contrary, the price
was reduced.
at is not true, as Mr.. Gompers
states, that for the past several years
the miners have averaged only 100
to $50 working days a year.
1T is a fact, however-and Mr..
Gompers could easily have ascer-
tanned it-that virtually every btu
minous mine in the country has or
IT'S payroll substantial number of
men who deliberately lay off from
one to three days week when they
have an opportunity to work.
Hypothetical Questions.
Mr.. Gompers states that the
miners are demanding shorter work
ing hours SO that their work may
be made regular instead of intermit-
tent. How is it possible to effect
such regulation? How can mines
be worked when no cars are avail
able? How can mines be worked

El Paso, Texas, June 17.-American

for the inglosious defeat he suffered
at the hands of American forces a,
Juarez yesterday. The bandit leader,
completely routed at Juarez, is l!lrk-
ing in the hills to the southeast, where
he fled with the American cavalry
pounding at his heels.
Villa, it is feared, will make it his
husiEess to carry on guerrilla war
fare in the hills, with American mines
and smelters as his chief victims.
Villista forces are expected to ope.
raie in small bands, raiding Ameri
ran-cwned properties wherever pos
s;ble, and occasionally swooping down
to attack small border towns.
The action of the American forces
in swiftly taking the field to drive
Villa away from Joarez definitely
prevented the bandit leader from ac-
copphshing his object of capturing
and controlling that important border
port. Villas chargin at this defeat,
It is believed, will lead him to SEEK
revenge and imperial American lives
and property.
HOSTILITY against the Americans Is

ARREST OF POSTMASTER
Charles r. Shillingsburg, Cf High
landSprings, on Theft and
Arson Charge

Postmaster Charles t. Shillings-
burg, of Highland Springs. Va. was
arrested last night for the alleged
robbery of his own postoffice and
setting it on fire. According to
Sheriff Webb w. Sydnor, of Henrico
County, who made the arrest Of Shil-
hngsburg in company with Postoftice
Inspector Dickerson, the postmaster
admitted his guilt.
Yesterday morning when the post
office was opened it was found that
the safe had been robbed of $3.50 IN
currency and that all records. post''
age stamps and war savings stamps
in the cffice had been piled in the
middle of the floor and burned.
The supposed thieves made their
entrance through the rear door by
means CT pass key and worked the
combination Of the safe with appar-
ent ease. Papers in the pile of rub
bish, which had evidently been igni-
Sed with the intent not only Of de-
stroying them but of setting the Of
flee on fire, were still smoldering
when the robbery was discovered.
Only the fact that the building was
freproof evidently saved it from
.
complete demolition.
Sheriff Sydnor and postoffice in
spectors were summoned to the
scene at once. At 8 o'clock last
night Shillirgsburg was arrested
and taken to the Henrico County
Jail.
Why the records had been de-
stroyed by the postmaster as is al
legged, Sheriff Sydner declined to
discuss last night.
