One of the biggest financial salvaging
operations ever recorded commenced
here this morning when, at meeting of
the shareholders of the Banque Indus
trielle de Chine it was decided to re-
organize that institution. which has been
the bulwark of Frances prestige in the
Far East. Andre Berthelot presided at
the meeting and obtained an almost
unanimous vote of confidence in the
banks management during the last two
years, but he admitted that conditions
which caused the banks failure last
month were not altered greatly. and that
radical reorganization of the bank was
necessary.
Government assistance for the bank
Is considered certain. At the same
time Wang Tieng-tse, legal counsellor
of the Chinese Legation here, pledged the
financial help of the Chinese Govern
ment to the limit of it's capacity That
aid will take the form of a loan or
500. 100000 francs, which will be issued
in the United States, England, France
and China and secured by a reorganiza-
ton of the Chinese stamp taxes. Two
hundred million francs of that loan will
be turned over to the bank and the
balance will be held in France to facili-
tate Chinese trade with French indus
tries. Naturally, the French Govern
ment is not expected to find any excuse
for refusing 300,Oo0.0o0 francs of that
loan and a more secure hold on the
Chinese markets than has been possible
for her to have heretofore.
Although 200.000.000 francs will not
pay off the banks creditors, new series
of shares will be issused and the banks
creditors will be invited to accept those
shares instead of cash until the worlds
financial and economic situation become
normal.
Officials of the Banque Industrielle
de Chine were highly optimistic to-day
and predicted that the bank would be
on Its feet before October 1.

Shrinkage of Securities and

Cause Brokers' Failure.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Poor busi-
tremendous shrinkage In all securities
recently. caused the failure of Chandler
Brothers & Co., widely known bankers
and brokers of this city and New York.
in statement late to-day.
The company closed its doors earlier
in the day after Judge Patterson, sitting
in Common Pleas Court. had appointed
receivers for the firm upon the request Of
Fred T. Chandler. Jr. Mr.. Chandler
set forth In bill of equity that, owing
to existing economic conditions, it was
found impossible to conduct the business
without loss. In an answer. the other
partners admitted the truth of this
statement and Joined in the application.
Edwin J. Gilillan. an engineer, and
Cornelius Haggerty, Jr., an attorney,
were named as receivers and gave bond
of 100000
Mr.. Mendenhall later issued the fol-
lowing statement, explaining the firms
action:
''The cause is poor business and poor
market. Recently there has been a
tremendous shrinkage in the value of
all securities. The condition we found
ourselves confronted with was not be-
cause Of any one particular stock or
security difficulty, but a general con-
dition of business which confronts the
world, and which is particularly en-
phasized in our business.
I'VE hope to reorganize and start UP
In, It.ei f,.
better by having had the receiver ap-
pointed. Steps, of course, were taken by
our firm to avoid the receivership, but
under present business conditions that
was impossible"
Mr. Mendenhall said his firm had more
than 1000 accounts. but explained that
losses by Its clients would depend upon
the condition of the stock market which
the receivers begin to liquidate whatever
securities ana stocks are held. He could
lot estimate the firms losses.
1t was estimated in Mr. Chambers bill
of equity that the companys assets
amounted to about $4,000. Liabilities
were not mentioned and the receivers
declared they could not issue statement
as to the firms condition until they bad
made an examination. No such IAN
nouncement was expected for several
days at least.

1t was announced there wa5 no con-
nection of any character between the
closed concern and Chandler & Co.. Inc.
A small crowd gathered in front Of the
company's offices soon after notices of
discontinuance had been posted. Guards
at the doors refused to answer any ques-
tions, however, and the crowd soon dis
appeared.

EMPLOYERS HAVE SEEN LIGHT
Workers, by Heroic Efforts, Succeeded
In Maintaining and indicating
Constitutional Rights - viii
Be No Turning Back.
BY SAMUEL coMPERs,
President Of the American Federation
Of Labor,

by SAMUEL 1OMP6hop
President Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
Employers have not come willingly
or readily to see that 1t Is just and
right and wise that those who work
should have their proper voice In help
ing to shape and determine the condi-
tions of life and labor. But we have
come far. By the token Of progress
made we know more progress Is to be
made.
1t Is Just q little over a decade since
the scorn, which those who dominated
the thought of society felt for the life
and the rights OF labor. was expressed
by q United States Judge when, with
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison,
received sentence to prison because
had dared to print and to speak the
protest of labor against injustice, Mr..
Mitchell and Mr.. Morrison were sen
fenced to six months imprisonment,
respectively, and / to one year. What
we had done was to discuss the merits
of a case that was before the courts
the Buck Stove and Range case.
Carried to the Courts.
Back Of that event was history made
by fighting. The National Association
Of Manufacturers had taken the posi-
ton that the organized labor move
ment must be destroyed. The Anti
Boycott association was formed. Every
pressure that could be mustered
against organized labor was brought
to bear upon 1t, including the pressure
Of suits In the courts to abridge the
constitutional rights Of the freedom Of
speech and Of the press. That battle
was probably the most concentrated
effort Of employers to break down the
fighting spirit and the fighting ability
Of the working people.
The result was that the working peo-
ole maintained and vindicated their
constitutional rights and their right to
own themselves and to secure agree
ment with their employers by collec-
tive bargaining; for the purpose Of
bringing employers to realization OF
the fact that they had the right to en-
tablish better relations and secure bet
ter conditions they made secure like
wise their right to cease work-to
strike.
Labor in Days Before War.
When. early in 1917, the clouds Of
war began to become apparent to dis
cernIng men, a call was issued from
the headquarters Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor In Washington. ask.
Ing the officials and leaders Of the ma
tional and international trade unions
to assemble In Washington on March

at that date. But the representatives
Of the great American labor movement
then adopted unanimously a declara-
tlon that, come peace or come the bit
ter days OF war, there was but one
place for labor and that was under the
flag, for the flag and with the nag.
The words Of the conclusion Of that
declaration will bear repeating. for no

Rheumatism
Can Be Cured!
But You Must Clear Your Blood
OF Waste Products.

Lack Of exercise and improper diet causes
taste products to accumulate in the blood.
You will at once realize that unless the blood
is pure, some part of the body will become
diseased.
Rheumatism, with its pain and agony, is
one of the most serious diseases caused by
waste products in the blood You know, of
course, the blood is not confined alone to the
arteries and veins. 1t passes out OF these
channels to all parts of the body. This IS
how sediments or waste products are de-
posted in the muscles and joints. Genuine
relief can be had only by correcting the
basic troublc-i0a5te products.
Thousands and thousands of men and
women during the past 50 years have cleared
their blood of waste products with 5. 5. ).
1t is the ideal remedy for rheumatism, be-
cause it removes the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There are no
bad after effects and the result is wonderful.
