WEAK STATE,
BANKERS SAY
Thousands Will Not
Bear Close Scrutiny,
Convention Admits

CHICAGO, Sept. Thousands
of American banks are in such poor
condition that if they are forced
to comply with the provisions of the
Banking Act of 1888 they will be
forced to shut their doors, the Asso-
citation of American Bankers con-
tended today in resolution.
Meeting in national convention,
the bankers asked that the deposit
guarantee provisions of the act be
postponed indefinitely.
It has been known for some time
that the March bank moratorium
did not solve any of the essential
problems of the weak banks
throughout the country. The state
ment of the Association is public
admission of that fact.
More than 2,700 banks on a re-
stricted basis will have to shut
down, the bankers said, if they are
too strictly examined.
Roosevelt Sends Message
In an attempt to create the i'm
preston that lack of bank credit is
the cause of the crisis, Roosevelt
sent a message to the bankers con-
vention asking for more liberal lend
ing of bank credit. This proposal OF
Roosevelt is in contradiction to the
obvious and welI-known fact that
there is a superabundance of bank
credit, which the bankers cannot use
because there is no market for sound
and profitable loans.

IA in Wooden Car
Killed in Erie R.R.
Train SmaSh-Up

BINGHAMTON, Sept. 6.-Caught
in an old wooden car, II persons were
crushed to death here when milk
train smashed into the rear cars OF
an Erie express train. Thirty other
passengers were seriously injured.
The accident took place at 7:30 p. m.
yesterday.
Pursuing the customary polly of
the railroads in such cases, the blame
for the frightful accident is being
placed upon the shoulders of the
engineer of the milk train.
The facts would seem to show that
the engineer is blameless. The facts
seem to be as follows: The famous
express train that makes Chicago
Jersey City run had stopped ON the
tracks for some switching adjust
ments. Meanwhile, a fast milk train
that makes the run from Hornell, N.
Y, to Hoboken, was coming on the
same track.
The railroad contented itself with
sending brakeman ahead to meet
the onconing train with a warning
signal. This signal the engineer
saw, but too late, for the brakes to
have much effect, considering the
short distance between him and the
stalled train already on the track.
Despite the brakes, the milk train
crashed into the express.
1t has been common talk among
railroad workers and experts for some
time, that in their eagerness to cut
operating costs to the bone, the large
railroads have been running with
dangerously short crews, and with
insufficient attention to safety meas
ures.

The sixty workers of the Progress
sive Table Company are in the fifth
week of their strike, led by the Fur
niture Workers Industrial Union, 818
Broadway. They are waging a
struggle against wages which in three
instances were as low as $500 week.
The strikers demand wages of 81 an
hour for skilled workers, rs cents for
semi-skilled and so cents an hour for
unskilled.
One week after the workers struck
the boss hung out the Blue Eagle
sign and declared the strike ellie
gal" The NRA furniture code was
set by the bosses at 40 cents an
hour for skilled workers.
Upon his release from Jail, Minor
went straight to the union hall at
the Workers Center near New Lots
Ave. The strikers were meeting there
and invited Minor to plan further
struggles to win the strike.
Minor spoke and analysed the
strike situation. A worker spoke up
and said that those inside the fac
tory now stated they were in SYM
pathy with the strike and ready to
come out.
Minor pointed out that the boss
was trying to use the injunction to
frighten the workers. But that in
junction is only piece of paper.
There is nothing to keep you from

Nearly 10000 on
Strike in Silk, Dye
Mills in Paterson
Allentown w ork ers
Expected Out

PATTERSON, N. j.. Sept. 6.-That
the general silk strike in Paterson
promises to sweep the dye section
Of the industry was evident today
when more shops followed the ex-
ample Of the Weidmann Dye shop
workers and responded to the strike
call of the National Textile Workers
Union.
On the initiative of the Weidmann
workers, who sent pickets to the
shops, the workers of the Phoenix,
Supreme, Inlhof Berg dye shops and
the Hawthorne Branch of the United
Piece Dye Workers joined the walk
out, swelling the ranks Of the dye
workers on strike to 1000. The Na-
tional Textile Union anticipates a
complete tie-up of the dye shops in
the next few days.
A delegation of silk workers from
the National Textile Union left for
Washington last night to demand
the right to representation at all
hearings to mediate the silk strike.
The union will point out that, con-
trary to the claim of Frank Schweit-
ger of the Associated that the A. F..
of L. is the only union in the field,
the National Textile Union and a
number of independent unions rep
resent the silk workers and have the
right to be heard.
After urging Associated officials to
send the silk strikers back to work
until the wage issue was arbitrated
by the Board, Senator Robert Wag-
ner, head of the National Labor Ad-
visory Board, called off the media
ton hearings until Friday, when the
employers and A. F. of L. officials
will reconvene in New York City.
Hearing on the silk code, which
proposes an $18 minimum wage for
skilled silk workers, are scheduled
for Sept. IL. In the meantime the
silk industry has been operating I'M
der the cotton textile code, with a
$13 weekly minimum wage.
The silk strike is spreading rapidly
in Paterson, as an estimated 5000 silk
throwers Joined the strike today.
About 10000 workers are striking. 1t
is anticipated that the silk workers
in Allentown will join the struggle,
a strike order having been issued for
today If effective for all the mills
more than 5000 workers will be in
volved.
A meeting of 400 Lodi workers,
held last night, registered strong
sentiment for strike. More inten-
sive preparations are being made to
call these workers out to join the
struggle OF the silk workers, which
is gaining greater strenth through
out the country.

Minor, miIitantly leading forty
workers through a three block area
blocked off by police around the
Progressive furniture plant as mo
picketing' zone, marched up to the
doors of the factory and called on
the few workers inside to join him.
A mass Of police Immediately sur
rounded and arrested him, together
with five other workers. The other
pickets were driven from the street
by the police.
Four Of the six arrested were i'm
mediately released at the 69th police

many. But when told to get out of
the police station, the four refused
to leave Minor, insisting on being put
in the cell with him. They we're
finally forcibly evicted by the police.
