BANK IN WEST
Four Large Concerns
Consolidate to Avert
Trouble.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-The CONT

Savings bank today formed the sec
ond largest banking institution in
the United States and the largest
west of New York, through absorp-
ton of the Fort Dearborn National
bank and its affiliated institution,
the Fort Dearborn Trust &c Savings
bank, that action averting what
was described as the most serious
difficulty which had threatened
Chicago's financial district in 16
years.
The merger was announced last
night after an all-day session of
the Chicago Clearing House asso-
citation and leading financiers, the
Continental and Commercial insti-
buttons AGREEING to assume the liza
bilities of $60,000,000.
The absorption placed combined
deposits of the four banking insti-
tutions at more than $400,000,0 1000,
and total resources at a figure
greater than $525 100000.

ENCRAvERS
STRIKE AS
WAGE IS CUT
3,4O0 Members of Union
in 80 Cities Walk
Out in Protest.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Approximately
3,400 members of the Photo-En-
gravers' union in 80 cities of the
country, went On strike today in
protest against a wage reduction
or lengthening OF working hours,
according to reports to the head
quarters here of the American
Photo-Engravers' association.
Employers sought to reinstate
the 4S-hour week at the present
rate Of pay or to reduce wages So,
allowing the present A hour week
to continue The union declined
to accept the change and went on
strike, according to Louis Flader,
commissioner of the association.
The wage reduction would have
Appropriated eight per cent, he
said, the average wage being about
$50 a week.
All union plants in Chicago were
closed today, but employers said
that if attempts to reach an agree
ment within the next few days fail
ed, they would open the shops and
obtain other employees. The COM
mercial shops only were affected,
newspaper plants not being in
volved.
40 New York Shops Hit.
New York, Jan. 3.-Seyenty conf
mercial engraving shops, employ
ing approximately 1000 men, were
closed here today as result of the
failure of negotiators to reach al
agreement ending the controversy
between photoengravers' board OF
trade and the photo-engravers'
union, over reduction of wages and
working conditions. 1t was said
that shops throughout the country
employing members of the union
would not be opened until the dis
pute was settled. photographers
employed by newspapers are not in
volved in the controversy.

Washington, Jan. 3.-An alliance
Of all or none. This is the slogan
which reflects the attitude of a BIZ
partisan coalition whose principal
object will be the defeat, if pos
sible, of any treaties, which set up
the United States as a potential foe
or opponent of any group of ma
tions. The issue is not to be, as
had been supposed, the phraseology
of the treaties now being drafted
at the arms conference but the
broad principle. Senator Borah on
the Republican side, has fired the
opening gun by demanding that
the United States shall not enter
an alliance with three other nations
for the protection of certain rights
in the Pacific as against another
group of nations which are admit
teddy weak. On the Democratic
side the influence of former Presi-
dent Wilson is beginning to be felt
in the revival of the doctrines he
preached on his first trip to Eur
ope A paragraph from the famous
Manchester speech delivered by Mr..
Wilson as a reply to Premier Gle
menceau's first thrust against the
league of nations idea is being cir
culated among Democratic senators
who are being urged to use the is
sue of balances of power as a
means of fighting the new treaty

policy on which the United States
embarked.
Recalls Wilson Fight.
There is a curious parallel be-
tween the situation that exists to-
day at the arms conference as be-
tween Premier BRAND on the one
hand and the American-Brit del
egation on the other, and the situ-
alton that prevailed in January,
1919, when Woodrow Wilson had
the support of Prime Minister
Lloyd George and the British dele
cation and found he was opposed
by the French. M. Clemenceau was
demanding a defensive alliance as
the best insurance of peace in Eu-
rope Mr.. Wilson fought the idea
but finally agreed to submit to the
Americans such a pact, feeling that
it would unquestionably be rejected
as inconsistent with the American
tradition which has always opposed
special alliances of a military char
acter. The news today from Eu-
rope, particularly the interview
given by Premier BRAND to a Lon
don Mail correspondent in Paris,
reveals that the French have not
given up hope of getting defen-
sive alliance with England as
against Germany and that if they
get that alliance they will recede
from their extreme naval demands
and play ball" at the Washington

GERMAN FLAG
AGAIN WAVES
IN NEW YORK
Consulate Opens; But
WiIheIn1's Picture
Is Gone.

New York, Jan. 3.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Germany's flag
today reappeared among those OF
other nations which fly from the tall
buildings of New York's financial
and shipping districts.
1t was unfurled from the same
fiagpole, atop No. IL Broadway,
from which it was hauled down in
the spring of 1917, and marks the
location of the establishment of
the consular Office of that republic.
For more than a week, represen-
tatives of Consul General Karl
Lang-temporarily charge daffaires
of his government at Washington
had been preparing for a reopen
ing of the offices. A score of desks,
filing cases and a couple of steel
safes were moved across the hall
from the offices of the Swiss con-
sui, their custodian during the war
Among the furnishings missing,
however, was an oil painting of
former Emperor William. The
consular seal had also been dis
carded and the official stationery
took on the new dress emblematic
of Germany.
Scene New Charged.
The flag today waved over a scene
different from that it witnessed at
its last appearance. Then the
building was the American head
quarters of the North German
Lloyd steamship line,- now occupied
by an American steamship firm, and
the former Hamburg-Am line
being a few doors north, is the
New York base of the United States
Shipping board. Just across Broad
way on the facade of the United
States customs house the shadow of
the German flag prior to the war
fell upon a magnificent statute of
"Germania" standing with figures of
other great maritime, powers The
war, however, caused "Germania"
to disappear and in her place now
stands Belgium" remoulded by the
artists chiseI from the same block
Of marble.
Across the Hudson from the
base of the flagpole are the great
Hoboken docks, the former home of
Germany's steamship lines. and
several of their ships, including the
$4,000 ton Leviathan. These have
also passed to new owners, and to
the protection of the American
flag.

Senator Watson said that he had

over the telephone during the last
two days and that in his opinion,
the matter was practically decided.
The particular reason which in

Watson said today that the vote
probably would be close
