MANAGERS SHOT

flying lead as bank employees and a
policeman engaged him in a gun
battle.
More than twenty shots were fired
before Bearse shot Mastoris in the
head as he crawled from behind a
barricade. carrying his loot toward
the door.
When Mastoris fell, a crowd of a
thousand people had been attracted
by the shots and were milling around
outside and squad of policemen
had surrounded the bank, looking
for possible confederates. 1t was at
first thought that Mastoris was one
of a gang. Two men in an auto
mobile that had been parked with
engine running were seen to drive
away as the shooting began. The
police incline to the belief, how
ever, that Mastoris was operating
alone. A score of employees and half
a dozen customers were in the bank
as Mastoris entered. flourishing a
pistol. and shouted Everybody hold
up your hands. I haven't shot a
man for five years. I want money.
You can't get it working"
He fired two shots and went to
the cage of the receiving teller.
where he forced Douglas Campbell
to push the money through the grill
work.
AS he turned, Bearse opened fire
from his desk at the other side of
the room. He and the bandit eX-
changed shots. AS the bandit drop
ped to the floor unhurt, using the
marble tables on the middle of. the
floor as a barricade, Joseph Mac
Lellan. another teller, fired at him
six times.

gunman entered, notified Traffic Of

Great Britain's shipping. There is
no doubt that they have been ex-
porting heavily to this country re-
Gently. particularly in the lire Of
seasonable goods, and there Is no
question that IL this is stopped again
by a shipping tie-up 1t will prove
beneficial to the fine goods mills in
this country"
Charles E. Broughton, treasurer of
the Wamsatta Mill, expressed the
opinion that the British strike would
have no material effect in this coun-
try. He added that lit would 60
long way toward bringing those
fellows to their senses"
Frederick F. McDevitt, agent of
the Soule Mill, said he was not in
clined to emphasize the fact that
this country might prosper by the
misfortune of Great Britain.
They have been importing a good
deal of cloth, broadcloth, poplin and
pongee, in this country" he said.
1T is not necessary for me to point
out that if they cannot get coal In
Great Britain they cannot run their
mills, and If they cannot run their
mills they cannot continue sending
goods into the United States. 1t
naturally follows that If they do not
keep exporting to us, goods which
they might otherwise have furnished
must be furnished by our own mills
and that means more work for the
mills here all round"
Albert G.. Mason. treasurer of the
Whitman Mill, said: There are
many factors entering into the Sit
uation to be considered. such as the
duration of the strike and its sever
ity. If Great Britain is tied up for
some time it would undoubtedly act
as an artificial tariff in this country,
the same as 1t did in wartime. We
were about to close up then but the
war established what amounted to
an artificial tariff and business was
booming at once"

On the other hand, the voice of
peace is equally barred. and this to
disadvantage of the strikers.
AS things stand 1t would appear
that only some means of having the
mine owners withdraw their lockout
notices would serve to initiate new
negotiations, because that would
save the face of the trades union
leaders and enable them to with
draw the general strike notices. A
statement issued by the council of
the unions today says: THE council
is ready at any moment to resume
negotiations, but gives an unqualified
No to the premier's request for I'M
conditional withdrawal of the no.
tees. The government was respon-
and any further discussion can only
be- undertaken in a free and unfet-
tered atmosphere"
The governments exceptional
powers will enable it to order sup
preston of public meetings and pro-
cessions. and the debate in the
House of Commons tonight clearly
left the labor members with the idea
that this course would be adopted.
j. Bromley. Laborite. and general
secretary of the Associated Societies
of Locomotive Engineers and Fire
men, said in the course of the debate
in the House tonight: 1.-THE indus
trial situation may become intensi-
fled by this time next week, when
there will be an appalling situation"
He strongly urged the government
to permit meetings, saying there
would be great gatherings of the
strikers on Sunday. at which
speeches would be made and "stean,
blown off, and, he added, without
such meetings the position might
become very dangerous.

Wool Men Uncertain
Continued from Page One)

buying spurts were noted, there was
no steady movement of wool or sta
bility of prices.
While leaders in the wool trade
here admitted that there was no
means of gauging the effect of the
British situation accurately at this
stage, reports from Texas Indicated
that in that producing area some
firms had recalled their buyers for
the moment. The general attitude
seemed to be to await the turn of
events before passing judgment or
deciding upon policy.
With the probable duration of the
British strike the determining factor
in the situation, dealers were frank
in declaring that opinions now ex-
pressed were based on guess
work. Many believed, however, that
the immediate result of the strike
would be seen in the tightening up
of wool values and possibly some I'M
provement in the demand for raw
wool.
A lengthy strike, some leaders said.
would result in increased demand
for American wool and consequent
higher prices, but probably consid-
cradle reaction would follow ulti-
mately.
1t has been noted for some time
that conditions here are favorable
for the shipment of wool from Bos-
ton to Europe. Shipments since
January have gone mainly to the
continent and the volume has been
100000 pounds, of which 100000
pounds was shipped during April.
1t is understood that other and pos
sibly larger purchases have been
made in this market. the woods to go
to the continent, and that the move

less the British strike reaches an
early settlement.
