1t was developed by the credit men
at the meeting today that 81, 800 of this
city's quota Of $500 in the national
fund to stamp out fraudulent bank
ruptcies and business practices has
been raised and it Is expected that the
disclosures made at today's meeting
will give impetus to the raising Of the
balance of the fund.

man Hanson declared in introducing
his resolution at today's meeting.
cost American business $3.50, 1000, 900
in 1926, and in Washington during
the past year at least 100000. This
is a tremendous toll to pay as a glar-
ing reflection upon our ability to COM
bat it,
Mr.. Hanson said that the credit men
early recognized the futility of at
tempting to combat the evil single
handed because of the excessive cost
and trouble and that the nucleus for
the national fund was raised in 1925.
1t since has been decided that a ma
tional fund Of $1,750,000 Is needed. Of
which $1,450,000 has been raised.
After the local quota of $500 has

DEMOCRATS WARNED
TO END FACTIONALISM
Nominee Will Have Prospect of
Election, Robinson Says, if
Rows Are Buried.

Hope that the next Democratic ma.
tional convention will be organized in
such way as to avoid the factional
demonstrations of the 1924 convention
was voiced yesterday by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas. Democratic
floor leader.
IF this can be accomplished, the
conventions choice will have a fair
prospect of election" the Senator said.
There exists no consensus Of opinion
among Democrats as to who will be
nominated for President and Vice
President in 1925" he added. "a
number Of prominent Democrats are
mentioned, including Gov. Smith and
Senator Reed (of Missouri. They both
have cordial supporters, and one also
hears arguments based on opposition.
Gov. Richie, Mr.. McAdoo, Repre-
sentative Hull. former Secretary
Meredith and Gov. Donahey have fol.
lowers. 1t cannot now be accurately
anticipated who will receive the in.
dorsement of our State. The only
course which suggests itself is that
every aspirant be granted fair op.
portunity and that the national con-
vention be organized to prevent as far
as possible the development of fac
tionalism.
ut is the duty of all sincerely inter-
ested in the Democratic party to work
together to avoid repetition of those
factional demonstrations which marked
the New York convention in 1924"

call the Ohio miners and operators
together, he said.
The telegram which went to the
governors read:
reaching the point where public well
lock between United Mine Workers
and operators. Am told similar con-
ditions prevail in Indiana and Illinois.
Will you join me in requesting Re-
converting Of the interstate confer
ence of miners and operators? Please
wire If you are willing to join in con-
certed effort on part of Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio to have contro-
versy reopened in the hope of settle
ment on economic basis"
Belief was expressed at the gov
errors office that the Illinois and the
Indiana governors will agree to call
ing the conference. The governors
idea in calling the conference Is to
bring about resumption of the Miami
conference several months ago which
failed to bring about a wage agree
ment.
At present the plan does not pro-
vide for participation by the State
governments in the conference.
Today's Announcement was in line
with statement made yesterday to
Oral Daugherty, president Of the
Hooking Valley union miners, that the
governor wants to see the dispute
settled as an economic problem and
not as a controversy between union
and non union miners.
Daugherty said he, personally,
favored an attempt ito get together"
Final word on labor's side as to
participation in the proposed con-
ference, however, would come from
the district officials, he added, by
Lee Hall, president of district No.
6, composed Of Ohio and part of West
Virginia.
