BANKERS DEFY|NG
TREASURY RULING
Refuse to DivuIge Salaries Of
Officers as Ordered by
Comptroller.

American bankers, with but few
exceptions. today were openly DEFY
Ing Comptroller of the Currency VIII
liams In refusing to disclose salaries
paid their executive officers. The
comptroller was advised by most OF
the clearing house associations that
the information would be withheld
upon advice OF counsel.
Bankers. challenging the right of
the comptroller to publish the amount
of their payrolls. take refuge under
the law which guards against disclos-
Ing details In confidential bankers
reports. Comptroller Williams. now
upon the defensive. contends that the
demands made by him In the last call
for condition OF banks asked only
for the aggregate amounts expended
for salaries and that such a request
is fully authorized by the law.
Comptroller Williams todaS had not
indicated whether or not he plans
another move to force the banks to
furnish the data required. He re-
fused to say whether the penalty Of
800 a day upon banks refusing to
furnish information asked for will be
enforced. Efforts to enforce com
pliance will be resisted in the courts.
according to the advices of the comp
troller.
that the comptroller's step was
prompted chiefly by a desire to show
the necessity for new legislation by
Congress requiring the publication to
stockholders Of bank officers sal
aries.
With only q few days left of the
comptroller's term of office, 1t 10 ex-
pected that no further attempt will
be made to force bankers to submit
their salary ngurea Comptroller Will

ness men generally have come to rea-

to know what is going on. there are
still a few companies who keep the
small holder in ignorance. A par
ticular instance is the American Lin
seed Company. Minority shareholders
are in a quandry as to the value OF
their stock The most unfavorable
feature of the company Is the unwill-
ingness-or perhaps the inability-of
executive officers to freely and

Medical-Man Mirth

a chuckle day will not keep the
doctor away, but it will undoubted
ly keep both patient and medico in
good spirits. Since the passage Of
the dry law, the mere medical man
has come into the joke columns as
the deus ex machina to a drink OF
the old spirit. But, the best pre-
scription that our professional
friend can give is the good cheer that
is the reflection of his own sunny
disposition. A doctor with a long
dry face is out of the running in
this optimistic age. It's the jolly,
cheerful fellow, like Major Jack Al
len, who wins patients. One pre-
scription for good humor that is
highly recommended for and by us
all is the joy screened in leading
theatres by Topics of the Day"
Films. Most of our physician shave
sense of humor, so they as we'll as

Pennsylvania Policy

The significance of the vote of 10y
atty transmitted to the Pennsylvania
Railroad management by the repre-
sentatives of $4,000 maintenance of
way and shop workers yesterday de-
serves to be recognized. The Gen
eral Chairman of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers for the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg,
declares that the engineers on the
Pennsylvania have less cause to
strike than the employees of any
other road in the country. 1t is
said that the vote of the. conductors
on these lines was against strike.
1t is an open secret that the
strike leaders are fearful as to the
response to the order for walkout
on this system, and that because of
their doubt on that score the appll-
cation of the order to the Pennsyl-
vania system has been reserved for
the last step.

ference between the Pennsylvania
management and the Railroad Labor
Board, as to the manner of election
by which the systems adjustment
boards" have been organized, has
been stressed as evidence Of I'M
friendly purpose.
Nevertheless, it appears, and is
demonstrated, that the Pennsylvania
is the outstanding railroad system in
the country on which a plan of CO.

the majority of the thousands of
employees that the strike project is
regarded with disfavor. and in all

ibanez Film Due Here--NiaNHs
<CGy Epoch For Screen.

The long-awaited Rex Ingram pro
duction of The Four HOrsemen OF
the Apocalypse" is coming to the
Cambridge Theatre beginning Thurs
day matinee. This is the picture
that cost Metro $1,000,000 to make,
and, from all accounts the $1,000
600 was we'll spent, as critics agree
that all other efforts at production
on a grand scale have been Surpass-
ed and record runs have been made
in New York, Chicago, Boston, Pitts
burg, Detroit, Los Angeles and other
cities. where the picture has been
previously shown.
Fifty. principals and $500 extras
were engaged in the filming of the
photodrama, an entire French vii
lage and an elaborate chateau were
erected to be destroyed under the
artillery bombardment of the Ger
man invaders, and more than $4,000
tons of masonry, steel, lumber and
furniture were used in creating
backgrounds that are said to repro
duce with absolutely fidelity the
shifting panorama of the story
The appeal of the story itself has
already been proved through the
success of the novel by Vicente
Bals6o Ibanez, upon which the photo
drama is founded. Its sale through
out the world runs into the millions.

revealed to them the first time
