CLERKS OF SPANISH
 BANKS ON STRIKE
Demand Institutions Be Conducted in Accordance With Rules
 of Union.

Madrid, July 2o-Numerous bank ing institutions. throughout Spain are experiencing difficulties with their em- ployes, who are demanding that the banks shall be run in accordance with the rules of the employees union.
 The trouble began last week, when the president and the secretary of the union were assassinated in Valencia, and the employees of the Banco Es- panol Credito in Madrid immediately declared a strike Since then the em- |ployes of various institutions either have quit their jobs or forced the banks to recognize their union In some banks. the employees refuse to handle checks, and other paper com ing from the Banco Espanol Credito, where non-unionist workers, under duties of the strikers. The Marquis Cortina, president of the Banco Es- panol Credito, has received numerous threats of death, and the chief of pot lice In consequence has provided him with a special guard.
 At Seville the employees of the banks and on the Bourse, and bank employees at Cadiz, Huelva and Ban dajoz, have formed unions Twenty eight banks throughout the country have decided to permit their emp1oyes to organize, but others haveN declined to do so. The manager of the Banco Vizcaya today announced that he would close the doors of the bank rather than surrender to the demands of the syndicalists, whose terms he declared were impossible.

LAW
 x URGED BY BOARD

1 Washington, July 2o.-Let the
 President set miners wages and hold | these workers to- their tasks Tn the event of failure of mine workers and coal owners to agree.
 This is included in the preliminary report by the United States coal commission, after eight months in- Ivestigatlon. The report also recommendeds that the government seize the mines and they be operated by the President, who shall set coal prices and the compensation to be paid to the mine owners. In the latter case, however, the President has not the final word, as in the case of setting wages. The property owners may appeal to the courts if they believe the award IS too low. <./
 In it's plan to avert strikes, the commission says that the expiration of the contract in the anthracite reg ion would not coincide with the ex- piration of the bituminous contract. Reference is made to coal owners, enormous profits, and reports by coal owners, as do railroads, < and other public utility corporations, IS favored.
 The commission does not seem to consider that it would infict penalty on miners if congress prohibited them from striking and empowered the President to set their wages. The Eommission says no punitive legisla- tion" will be recommended ot this time, but that the anthracite wage negotiations, now on, will be watched to see if the miners and coal owners show a cooperative spirit"

REFUSES TO CREDIT
 FRAME UP CHARGE
Chandler Orders Compensation Paid to Injured Iron Worker.

Hartford, July 2o-Harry Kras- now, president of the National Iron Works ,who is alleged to have de clared that the claims of John Golfer
 employed at 225 Park street, for com pensation due on account of several injuries resulting in total disability, were a :"frame-up," at a recent hear ling before Compensation Commits sioner George B. Chandler was ord cred to pay the claimant $o8.88 ac- crued compensation, to continue to pay compensation at the rate of $I4.42 weekly until it was shown that the, disability had ceased Or decreased and furthermore to reimburse the claimant for all medical, surgical and hospital bills and to continue to fur nish required services. In comment ing on the charge by Krasnow the commissioner suggested that those who make such. serious asert1on should not fail to produce such ma terial witnesses as the foremen to whom the injuries were reported which Krasnow did not do.
 Golfer, structural iron worker, hurt his knee when 1t hit steel beam March 26 Since then. he has hurt it several more times aggravating the injury eacb tune. In each instance ne reported the injury to the foreman, Harry Krasnow's brother, Morris, and on one occasion to another fore- man in charge of the work. The re- spondent, who is uninsured for i'm juries to his, employees, failed to pro vide competent physicians and as a result Golfer has been disabled since May 30.
 The respondent endeavored to show that Golfer had sustained the injury to his knee prior to March 26, but only succeeded in bringing to light the fact That in 1912 the claim ant had injured the knee, which in jury was shown to have no bearing on the present one.

stitution of the United States stands. As President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor said: The men will continue to exercise the normal actovities guaranteed to them by the laws and the Const1tu- | tion of the, country"
 The only thing that the Chi . cago courts decision settled forever" was the fact that la bor. tcan expect nothing from the present administration. As long as the injunction was only temporary, there was hope that the judiciary might see light and realize what a deadly blow at freedom the purpose of the decree was though practically 1t amounted to nothing.
 But now that the injunction has been made permanent, la bor knows once and for all . what to expect from this friendly" administration. The. decision shows beyond doubt the labor policy of those now in control of the national govern ment.
 The President may make pro- fessions of love for the workers but now they know that "for- ever" Daugherty with a dagger for labor in his hand is hiding behind the Chief Executive.<

Paris Speculates
Over Possible Rupture

Paris. Nov. 16.-(By A. P.)-The talk
in the Hobbies of the Chamber of Depu-
ties today centered about the preca-
rious situation brought about by the
disagreement between France and
Great Britain with regard to proposed
measures to require Germany to facil
itate the work of the interallied mill
tary control commission in Germany.
The eventuality of an actual rupture
in the entente cordiale was speculated
upon for the first time today, and even
found an echo in the session of the
Chamber of Deputies itself. where the
Socialists interrupted Premier Pon-
care during his address with cries If
1T is a rupture Of the entente cor
dale"
NJ. Poincare declined today to discuss
the questions of military control or the
crown prince because the negotiations
with regard to both subjects are still
going on; but members of the cham
Der, who are not bound to such discre-
ton, exchanged views as to conse-
quences. which were generally regarded
as not likely to weaken the hands of
France in dealing with Germany.
The opinion was expressed that the
Reich would find it's position weaker
if the entente split, since encourage
ment from Great Britain then would
lose it's significance, and France, free
from the necessity of consulting her
allies who disagree with her. would be
able to simplify her program and apply
it with greater vigor.
1t is expected a final earnest effort
will be made tomorrow to find some
way to avoid a break between the al
lies; but if Great Britain still refuses
to join with France in some energetic
action 1t seems to be a practical GER
tainty that M. Poincare will act alone
and occupy more territory, probably
contiguous to that NV in the hands Of
the French.

Food Problem
Serious i'm Capital
City of Bavaria

Munich, Bavaria. Nov. 16.-(By A.
P.)-The food situation in Munich
is, growing worse daily. With its
population of 100000, the Bavarian
capital is something like beleagured
city with its supplies cut off. The
farmers will not sell their products
except in small quantities. because
they would rather keep their products
than part with them for packets of
notes. In coffee. shoes, tea and gar
ment stores only enough is sold to
meet day to day requirements.
Hence Nuremberg, Augsburg,
Wurtemberg and Munich, surrounded
by the richest farming, country in all
Germany. are inadequately provis-
Toned. The larger part of the eX-
ceptional harvest is held by the far
mers, who never before have been
so prosperous. They have never re-
cived higher prices and have paid
off all their mortgages and other OBJ
legations in deprecated marks.
The farmers appear perfectly will
ing to sell for foreign moneys. An
extensive contraband trade is on
near all the frontiers in cheese,
eggs. and poultry, a good deal of it
going down the Danube below Kel-
helm.
Munich University. which closed
down after the recent revolt, reopen
ed today with full class rooms.

ally did not contemplate such an ex-
tremely grave step as breaking with
France, which would, in a certain
sense, be equivalent to declaring the
treaty of Versailles void and might
involve another European conflagra-
ton and leave Italy isolated.
The premier declared the request
to deport the former crown prince
from Germany was a mistake, II
meant another deadlock, for the
prince could not leave Germany
! without further complicating the
situation.
The senate adopted a resolution
approving the governments foreign
policy.

lini described the league of nations
