STRIKE CAUSES
 RUN ON BANK Report Firm Had CenSured Some of Strike
 Leaders.

Waterbury, Conn.,, May Gone of the curious effects of the strike of brass mill laborers here was a run on a private bank patronized largely by Italians. The run started yesterday afternoon and resumed this morning. The news was the "circulation of a report among the strikers that a member of the banking firm had made remarks censuring some of the strike leaders. Although denied by the firm, the report spread like wildf1re and the result was the gathering of a crowd of angry depositors demanding that the bank give them their money. Members of the firm said today they had obtained plenty of funds with which to meet the emergency.
 Strikers were engaged today in cir culating subscription papers among merchants for donations to a fund to assist families of strikers who are in need. Efforts are now being made to organize all the skilled workers, sev- eral Shundred of whom are employed locally.
 Meetings of groups of these work CTS are being held nightly and a big general meeting is called for Tuesday night of next week. The manufac- tIrers still stand pat on their decision to deal only with committees of their own employees and grant no recogni- tion to labor union committees.

John son of California, who has 72,- 432 on the face of unofficial re- turns from 3,1S3 precincts out of 3,387 in Indiana in Tuesdays primary election.

 Governor Lowden carried three counties and Senator Harding one, Ohio county. Fourteen counties are in doubt.

 While the exchange gave no reason for ordering the investigation, Wall Street gossip had it that there was an opinion of a possible corner such as was said to exist in Stutz, when trading in that stock was suspended.
 In letter to Secretary Cox, reply ing to a request made to all members of the exchange for a report of pur- chases, sales of clearances of Replo- gle stock between April 19 and May 4. MT. Ryan called attention to the fact that he had resigned from the ex- change on April 13, and continued:

CARANZA'S GRIP IS

El Paso, Tex, May 6.---Be1ief that ,Carranza soldiers were. the men who recently murdered his father and two brothers near Eloro, Mexico, was ex- pressed here today by Joseph Green law of Flagstaff, Arizona While there were rebel bands in the district they were more friendly than the fed- eral troops, Mir. Greenlaw said. Washington, May 6-Oficial inter est in the development of the politi- cal phases of the sweeping revolution in Mexico has been stimulated by government reports which continue to indicate a. rapid weakening of Car ranza's grip. Although any recogni- ton by this government of the rebel movement other than that accorded any defacto force was said to be inn probable, it is known agents of the state department have studied care fully the promulgated program of the rebels and the published assurances of Alvaro Obregon and other leaders of the revolt that a more friendly at titude toward foreigners will be adopted.
 In marked contrast to the methods used by those who have acted in sim ilar positions, agents of the revolu- ton here have refrained from making any overtures to the United States government, and it is understood no plea for special consideration will be made until the success of the rebes movement is assured. If Carranza is forced from the presidency the atd- tude of the United States, according to some officials, will be shaped to a certain extent by the attitude taken by the rebels.
