NEWS FROM HERRIN HAS A IA
MlLlAR SOUND.

Twenty odd years ago when en-
ployes Of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine were being intimidated by union
pickets and the destruction of life and
property threatened, the governor OF
Idaho was advised by the sheriff that
all was quiet, that there was no dan
ger Of disorder that he had the situa-
ton well in hand, and that the send
ing Of the national guard would pre-
cipitate trouble. And even while
sent an armed mob proceeded in
broad daylight to blow up the Bunker
Hill mill and shoot down employees
who were endeavOring to escape. In
almost the same words the sheriff Of
bloody" Williamson county, the scene
OF the recent horror in southern I'LL
nOis assured the state authorities
that all was quiet that the people,
100 per cent union" were orderly
and law abiding. and that he was able
to give protection to life and property
without assistance from the state;
and in fact that the sending of state
soldiers would cause trouble.
How familiar all that sounds to
Occur dAleners who were here TWEEN
" years ago The fendish fallacy Of
these assuring messages is revealed
in the mute and mutillated bodies
found in the woods, and the heartless
refusal of the appeal for water from
the dying victims of the mob. When
ever a peace officer protests the send
ing of men in the uniform Of the
United States army because their
presence will cause trouble, that
should be regarded as sufficient proof
that their presence is necessary for
protection. Other conditions may be
such that the sending is unnecessary,
)ut their coming will not cause trou-
de in any law-abiding community or
r any community where life and
property are safe. To say that the |
ending of soldiers will cause trouble
S proof that they are needed.

WHY PATSY" CLARK BECAME A
REPUBLICAN,.

Among the early and successful
mine operators of the Occur d'Alene
district was the late Patrick Clark,
familiarly known as Patsy" although
he never liked the nickname Mr..
Clark came here from Butte, where he
had long been engaged in mining, be-
ing protege of the late Marcus DAILY.
and it goes without saying he was a
democrat He and his associates pur-
chased the Poorman mine at Burke in
1887 and soon thereafter placed it up
on productive basis under the per-
sonal management of Mr. Clark In
the presidential campaign the follow
ing year the tariff was the paramount
issue, and naturally the lead produc-
ers We're deeply concerned in the out
come of the election, just as they
are this year when the democratic
party is renewing its assault upon the
republican protective policy Burke
was at that time one of the strong
holds Of the democratic party, large
of the population having
come from Butte and naturally look
ed to Mr.. Clark for leadership. Al
though a lifelong democrat, Mr.. |
Clark was first of all a shrewd level /
headed man who refused to allow his
inclinations or prejudices to
influence his judgment in business af-
airs. In this respect he was in strik-
ng contrast with subsequent demo-
ratio operators in the Occur d'Alene
district who have persistently subor-
Iinated the interests of the mining
industry to their ambition TO domin-
tie the local democratic organization.
During the campaign of 1888 a big 5

FIGHT OVER
PAR CHECKS
COLLECTION
BY FREDERICK j. HAsKIN.

washington, d. c., Sept. ga
banking fight of nearly ten years
duration has flared up again as the
result OF the issuance by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
states Of referendum on the ques-
ton of the par collection of checks
through the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN.
Since the war in Europe turned
public thought into international
channels, a great deal has been read
in the press about foreign exchange.
1t so happened that it was lust
about the same time that domestic
exchange began to disappear and So
that feature of finance has been
practically forgotten by business
men and others who have checks to
cash.
In reality there is no theoretical
difference between foreign eX-
change and domestic exchange. En-
change is the difference in debts of
two communities. In domestic ex-
change these communities are cities,
counties, or, perhaps, states In for.
eign exchange they are countries
and continents.
There are many business men
who will remember that when they
received a check drawn on q bank
in any city but their own they could
not cash it without paying an ex-
change fee. The charge on a 800
check would run anywhere from 10
cents to rs cents. This was sup
posed to result from the fact that
the owings Of one community to an
other were not balanced and there
fore exchange must be paid. AS a
matter of fact it was more often
merely collection charge imposed
by the bank which cashed the
check.
When the Federal Reserve Act
was passed, it contained a provision
designed to do away with this
charge on the public. 1t provided
a par check collection system. This
system was put into operation al
most Immediately and has been
working successfully in nearly every
section of the country ever since.
Par collection of checks is oper-
ated by means of what is known as
the Gold Settlement Fund. This
fund is actual gold in the form of
bullion or coin. Each Federal Re-
serve bank pays into this fund an
amount of gold in relation to it's
volume of business. 1t is pool
jointly owned by all the II Federal
Reserve banks.
Formerly an Elaborate Process.
In the days before this system
operated. the balancing of accounts
or the clearing, as 1t was called. was
an elaborate matter. Take for in
stance the relations between New
York and Chicago. On a given day
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-09-24

a certain amount of money would
be drawn on Chicago banks and the
checks would be cashed in New
York. On the same day an amount
of money would be drawn on New
York banks and the checks cashed
in Chicago. On given day Chicago
would cash more New York checks
than New York would cash Chicago
checks. The accounts would not
balance. Consequently, New York
owed money to Chicago. The New
York banks actually would be re-
CURED to bundle up and ship notes,
gold or any kind Of available legal
tender by express.
As the accounts We're changing
day to day, not only between New
York and Chicago but between all
cities in the United Safes, there
was n constant criss-Crcss of ship
ments of gold and money. Ii was
the hey-day of the train robbers.
1t will be seen that while this actual
money was in process of shipment,
subject to all the delays and risks
of transportation ii was not in use.
This money in transit is known IN
banking parlance as Che float. 81
The float has been estimated at as
much as $5,00O,OO0,OO0 The inter
est on $4,000, 100000 constantly cur
of use is big item-at 5 per cent it
is $250,0O0,Q00 a year. This was a
dead loss.
Under the Gold Settlement fund
plan, the general pool of GOLD la
kept at Washington. 1t nov
amounts to nearly $3,O00,000,000.
Now when New York at the end Of
the day, finds she owes Chicago

balance, a Geographic instruction Is

Carload shipment figures, re-

This is an increase over July of
IL per cent; last year August in
creased l per cent over July.
The increase over August last
year is SO per cent
This is by far the heaviest
August output on record and is a
close second to the record pro-
duction for any one month
(2S9,120) established in June.
The previous August record was
approximately 10000 in 1920.
