HOME ON AVENUE

The Departmental Bank, Society
for Savings and Loans, will move
from its present location, 522 Thir-
teenth street northwest, Saturday,
January Is. to its permanent home,
l7I4 Pennsylvania avenue north
west, where 1t will open for busi-
ness on Monday, the 18th.
r. This move marks the beginning
OF the broader development of an
institution that has behind 1t rec
ord Of more than twenty years OF
banking service to government en-
ployes and other salaried people
q along specialized, industrial lines.
The increasing demand upon 1t Tor
service of the kind that 1t fnrnlshes
made il necessary for the directors
Of the bank to give consideration,
early in the past year, to the ques-
ton Of the best method of meeting
the demand. The result Of their
= study Of the situation convinced
them that more working capital and
a suitable, permanent home, readily
to the greatest number
Of Federal employees, were the two
main factors in the solution Of the
problem.
To provide more capital and at
the same time make possible the
FULLEST development Of the idea upon
which the Society for Savings and
Loans was founded, the Depart
mental Bank was incorporated, with
IAN authorized capital of 100000.
-Fhe merger Of the two institutions
rs now in progress, in accordance
with a resolution adopted, at the
annual stockholders meeting.
Upon the completion of the merger
the Departmental Bank will have
the following directors added to its
roster: David D. Caldwell, Depart
1nent of Justice; H. c. Graham, De-
partment OF Agriculture; II. A.
Filler, Civil Service Commission;
Gertrude NJ. McNally, third vice
president, n. F. F. E; Clyde Reed,
Navy Department; Joseph Stewart,

witten, Interior Department. To
the directorate will also Ue added
subsequently, a representative from
the State Department, the Treasury
Department, the Department Of La
Dor, the District government, the
city postofice and the District
school teachers.
The annual meeting of the direc-
tors Of the National Metropolitan

WASTECHARCED
TO RAILROADS
Labor Unions Assert Managers
Could Effect Large Savings by
Modern Methods.

Washington, April 27.-The wage
controversy between the shipping
board and members of the marine
unions and owners and operators
of steamships adjourned today un-
til Friday without having reached
a final conclusion.
Chicago, April 27.-The railroad
labor unions fighting wage reduc-
tons before the railroad labor
board increased their charges Of
waste and ineficiency on the part Of
the railroad thanagem mt by a
quarter of a million dollars today.
In a supplment to that filed last
week setting forth enormous waste
the employees charge that possible
savings totaling s1,276,5OO,0O0 could
be effected by the railroads if they
would introduce modern methods in
maintenance and operation of the
railroad industry.
The larger American railroads
spent nearly six billion dollars for
operating expenses last year, the
exhibit showed, carrying 47,00O,-
100000 passengers one mile and
$50 ,OOO, 900 900 pounds Of freight one
mile.
at can be demonstrated that
s ,00O, 100000 is altogether too much
to move the traffic in hand" the re-
port said, and that failure to in
troduce saving methods rests pri-
marily with railroad management
The public accordingly is not get

Bet TER GRAIN
DEMANDS SEND.
WHEAT PRICE Up

Chicago, April 27.-Anticipations
of a gradual improved demand for
all grain helped promote higher
prices today IN the wheat market
Bulls were especially hopeful Of q
continued export demand for wheat.
On the other hand, bears placed
particular stress on assertions that
1t would take serious crop dam
age to induce any big upward
movement of prices. The opening,
varied from unchanged figures to
&c higher. with May 1.27 to 1.27L
and July 1.051s to LOG, followed BY
a moderate setback and then by
upturns all around to we'll above
yesterdays finish.
Scantiness of rural offerings
counted subsequently as q strength
ening factor, and so, too, did word
that India was purchasing rice
abroad. Near the end of the day,
however, weakness in oats led to a
reaction. The close was heavy, &c
to INC net lower. with May 1.25h
to 1.25& and July 1.04A to Los.
Corn rose with wheat. After
opening unchanged to sc higher.
including July GIN to 62%c, the
market sagged little but then
scored material gains.
Rains delaying farm work and
diminishing receipts tended later
to sustain the corn market until
oats and wheat turned down grade.
The close was weak, &C to sc net
lower; with July 61h to SIN.
Oats were firmer like other GER
calls starting unchanged to sc up
July 3Sk and later making a gen.
eral advance.
Scattered selling had a bearish
effect on provisions.

DEERE PLANTS
CLOSE;FREIGnT
RATE cENSuRED

Owing to the continuance Of the
general "buyers' strike" throughout
the country. oficials of the John
Deere Plow company and the Deere
& Mansur company announced To-
day that they would close down
temporarily this week.
The following departments will
discontinue operations at the John
Deere Pillow Works: Primary de-
partment, bolt room, harrow de-
partment, cultivator department.
malleable finishing department,
fitting shop, pillow beaming depart
ment, pillow erecting department.
shovel department, woodshop and
evener departments. Some Of these
departments will close down to-
night, and some of them will cease
operations Friday night. This is to
bring about a balance in the fac
tory's production.
Liberal production programs
were started last winter in both the
Deere factories, and although the
officials Of the companies antici-
pated a slowing up of buying, il
was believed that the demand
would be such that employment at
the plants could be furnished
throughout the summer months
However, the buyers strike" has
continued and after reducing the
working forces of the factories il
finally became necessary to dis
continue production all together.
Some time ago Deere & Co. made
a reduction in the price of imple-
ments of 10 per cent, but it was
finally found necessary to stor
production for a time at least. The
present high freight rates are
blamed for the continued refusal
Of the farmers to purchase impIe.
ments.
1t is declared that six tons of ma.
terial are needed to furnish tor
of steel, and it is also alleged thai
three tons of various materials
which a factory receives are used
to make a ton OF implements.
The cost Of transportation of the
materials necessary to make a tor
Of steel has increased Ill per cen
