musicians and operators were for a
25 per cent reduction for a period
of time.
"InaSmuch as all other union
crafts have gone so far as to take
voluntary reductions, we felt that
reduction of 25 per cent on the
high Salaried union theater help
would mean but very little to these
crafts.
We have been paying the follow
ing scale; Operators, four men at
S64.5O each; stage, six men at $3.50
each, and two men at S56.25 each:
musicians, one man at $1,000 and
six men at S72 each"
1t is reported that the musicians
offered a 20 per cent cut and the
other two crafts 10 per cent.
Union officials said that the scale
paid since last September was a 1C
per cent reduction from the last
scale.

STUDIES BANK EVIDENCE
Petition to Recover 5000 Taken I'm
der Amusement by Cox.

Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox today
took under advisement a petition of
Wilbur Dammeyer Of indianapolis,
to recover 5000 from the receiver of
the state Savings and Trust Com
pany. The money is said to have
been deposited in the bank a few
minutes prior to its closing on
April Is, 1880
Question involved is whether
state bank examiners, who took
charge of the institution on its
closing. acted legally in permitting
Endorsement and cashing of check
given by Dammeyer in the sum of
5000.
Paul Rhoadarmer, attorney for
Dammeyer, contends that the eX-
aminers permitted the check cashed
after the bank had closed, and it
vas placed in a special deposit OF
cash assets of the bank. Homer
Elliott is receiver.

made to prevent loss of policies due
to the stringency Of banking coudi-
tons.
How to met pay rolls Saturday
remained an enigma today with
most business firms.
Pay Roll Problem Faced
Some firms already have made
arrangements whereby they will
trade their own services for cou-
pom books, redeemable at groceries
or other merchandising firms.
Other firms are planning to pay
employees with checks on frozen
accounts, or with paper acknowl-
edging Indebtedness, in the form
of an L o. u" which might be
accepted by merchants.
Many firms receiving large sums
IN cash in the course of business
operations are planning to pay ali
or part of their employees salaries
IN cash. One downtown depart
ment store paid its employees in
cash Wednesday.
Because OF reduced business vol
ume caused by the financial situa-
ton, a number of stores and fac
tories are working their employees
only part time and will pay them
on part-time basis.
Several factories were reported to
have halted operations temporarily
because frozen bank accounts pre-
vent them from purchasing raw
materials.
Realty Boards to Meet
Effect of the situation on prop
erty will be discussed at a meeting
of the indianapolis Real Estate
Board Thursday noon in the Wash
ington. The session will be open for
general debate on methods Of meet
ing the problem, Larry Holmes, sec
rotary, said.
Certified checks will not be re-
quired with bids on supplies for the
city until further notice, it was an
nounced today by Albert Losche
city purchasing agent.
The city will waive its right to de-
mand that bids be accompanied by
certified checks equal to 212 per cent
Of the amount bid, Losche said.
Approximately $4,000 worth OF
reQuisition for material awaits re-
ceipt of bids from stone, gravel and
oil contractors.
Checks Taken by Cab Firms
Some taxicab companies an
nounced acceptance of personal
checks for transportation books I'M
til normal banking routine is re-
Sumed.
The books will be issued by the
Red Cab, Checker Cab and yellow
Cab Companies, all affiliated, in
amounts from $3.50 to SIS.
Any one having a checking &C
count in an Indianapolis bank may
take advantage Of the offer.

master Leslie D. Clancy announced.
Except for brief intervals, there
were no lines waiting at the money
order and postal savings windows.
Withdrawals of postal savings
Tuesday amounted to more than
10000, and money orders cashed
totaled nearly $4,000, Clancy said.
Postal savings deposits Tuesday
were slightly less than Withdrawals.
Checks are being accepted by the
postoft1ce for stamped paper and
Tor mail matter mailed without
stamps, known as permit matter.
Clancy said firms giving checks
for this are required to submit
sworn statement that all checks
given in this manner do not ex-
coed limitations governing with
draWals.
Cashes U. S. Checks
At least one indianapolis bank
today was cashing all government
checks drawn on the United States
treasury and not on bank, but was
uncertain how long this would be
continued.
The banks have received insturc-
lions permitting them to receive
sealed packages of money for safe
keeping, during the bank holiday.
and to return the sealed package
upon demand, bankers said. The
banks, however, may not accept
money for deposit.
The Merchants Association of In
dlanapOis has outlined no policy
for downtown stores in dealing with
handling of pay checks, government
warrants, or credit during the
present bank holiday.
Each downtown store, or mer-
chants affiliated with the associa-
ton, will be permitted to handle
finances and conduct credit business
as they see fit.
Refuses to Take Checks
Where one department store de-
clared it was caShing all pay checks,
another store refused to accept
checks in payment of accounts.
The association would not COM
ment on the individual methods
which stores advertised regarding
their handling of credit accounts
and checks.
1t was possible, however, for a
man to get his teeth fixed, a new
tire on his car, his trousers patched,
a meal, and even lodging at some
hotel, on credit or a pay check.
Stores as we'll as citizens followed

Theodore Roosevelt

Forrest Davis today presents the first
of a series describing the background of
present unsettled banking conditions. In
this first article Mr. Davis writes of the
panic of 1907. which bears numerous
parallels to todays financial dilemma.
The panic occurred, as it is in 1888,
during a period of depression; it was
caused by a lack of currency; and the
stress was relieved by the issuance of
clearance house certificates, the same
remedy that is now being employed.

pledge If more.
And on Oct. Is, another Black
Friday the New York Clearing
House Association voted unanimous
ly to issue clearing house certificates
based on frozen aSsetS-to sup
plement the inadequate reserves of
legal tender.
But the country assuredly shook
from its filters and, in many re-
Spects, conditions were more pre-
carious than today. Certainly more
banks suspended, many more were
demonstrated to be insolvent; and,
but for the resolute corporation of
Cortelyou and the solid bankers,

Immediately thereafter, that only
the strongest banks would have sur

IN 1907, Wall Street narrowly
Il avoided complete breakdown of
its whole Skeletal Structure-the
banks. The point is that it did es-
cape "reaping the whirlwind."
The resemblances between Octo-
Der, 1907, and March, 1888, need not
be pressed too far. But it is in
teresting, at least, to note that then
also a Roosevelt, as President, ex-
pressed grave misgiyings about the
conduct of certain business and
financial interests; that talk of war
with Japan ran on internationally
and our fleet recently had been or
dered to the Pacific.
Likewise, the 1907 currency panic
occurred in a time of industrial de-
preston; condition which, nc
doubt, in both cases contributed tc
the fearfulness of the people.
