NEW YORK CITY, July 20. - Al
noon today between $4,000 and $4,000
striking eIoakmakers paraded thru
the garment district from Twenty
fifth to Fortieth street on Sixth, Sew

Streaming in from sixteen halls
where meetings are held daily, the
demonstrators filed the thorofares,
with squads of police, mounted and on
foot, hemming them in on all sides.
No arrests had been reported at
1880 D. m. There is a probability
that the publicity given TO the 300 ar
rests during last weeks parade, fol-
lowed by the investigation of the club
bling Of some twenty /. r. T. strikers,
may allow the demonstrations TO pro
coed without police interference.
The strike is still growing in power

(sneela! to rhe DaIIy workerl

LONDON, July 26.-It is an open
secret among financial circles that the
changing fortune Of the French franc
has been partly caused by battle
between two financial groups, with the
Morgan interests behind one, Of them
pushing the fight for the ratification of
the MelIon-5ereneer agreement.
The London Financial Times pub
fishes an article limiting that 1t is
only a matter Of short time when
interested parties both in France and
England will demand an expose of
what has been going on in the dark
among French politicians and bank
ers.
Two Banking Groups Struggle.
The two groups, that of Horace Fin
lay, director of the Banqe de Paris ct
Pays Bias, and that of Baron de Roths-
child of the Bank of France, have been
In mighty struggle for control of the
French government Each of these
are as powerful in their own sphere
as Morgan and Rockefeller in the
United States, and there are seem
ingly strong connections between the
Rothschild group anc the Morgan
bank in Wall Street.
When Herriot overthrow BRAND
and Caillaux, It was hailed as tri-
umph for Finlay of the Bank of Paris
and the Low Countries. 1t seems
equally certain that the overthrow OF
Herriot in turn and the ascendancy
Of Poincare, was a triumph for Roths-
child, and with him, of the American
banking interests intent upon gain
! ing the control Of European finances.
tThat Poincare should suddenly an.
nounce that he will move for ratif-
cation of the debt pact, adds to this
view
The English Interested.
| 1t is somewhat significant that the
ones who are now asking for exposure
of the fracas, are the English financi-
ers, who may have more than an eth
ical interest in checking the intrigue
