NOT AFRAID NATIONAL BANKERS WILL SECEDE Senator Owen Declares They Eventually Will Be Pleased With Currency Measure.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. WASHINGTON, June 29. Senator Owen, chairman of the Senate committee on banking and currency, issued a statement today discussing the administration currency bill, which he believes will be enacted Into law before the end of September. "Some of the larger Interests of the country," said he, "having set their heart upon the 'passage of the Aldrich bill, and having expended large effort in educating the country in favor of the Aldrich plan, have been discontented in two very important particulars first, the Aldrich bill gave control of the proposed system to the banks of the country; and. secondly, authorized the banks to Issue the currency to the country under this system as bank currency.

"We have been unable to approve these principles of the Aldrich bill. We think it not more reasonable to grant this demand to the bankers than it would be to authorize the railroads to have representation and exercise a part of the governing power of the interstate commerce commission. "It has been suggested that some of the largest national banks might go out of this system and become state banks, because of their displeasure. We have taken infinite pa.ins to ascertain the grounds of these objections, and feel justified in saying that there is no reason to apprehend that any national bank will go out of the system because of the provisions of this bill, but that they will generally rejoice at the opportunity afforded them of having a more stable condition in the financial and commercial world."

One Man Hurt. BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. CHARLESTON. W. June 29 Official sanction by officials of the United Mine Workers of America was given tonight, following a mass meeting of miners held today at Eskdale, to the strike of miners initiated on Cabin ad Paint Creeks last week.

A strike has oeen caned at a majority of the mines on the two creeks affecting about 3,500 miners. Simultaneously with the call for the new strike came the announcement that terms have been agreed upon toy which the general strike in the New River field is expected to be prevented. The new strike was ordered because of alleged violation by operators of the terms of the agreement suggested by Governor Hatfield and under which the old strike was called off May The strike affects, on Cabin creek, the Cabin Creek Consolidated Coal Company, operating about 20 mines, known as the Davis interests, and the Republic Coal Company, West Virginia Colliery Company and Carbon Coal Company, operating a dozen mines and known as the Cabell interests, two small mines of the Anchor Coal Company and Marsh Fork Coal Company In Coal River. Those affected on Paint creek are the Paint Creek Colliries Company, operating nine mines; Solvay Colliery Company, operating four mines, and the Standard Splint Gas Coal Company, with one mine. Officials of the miners' union state that they expect to be able to close all the mines affected by the strike order within a few days.

On the other hand the operators say they will be able to continue operations and that but a small per cent of the miners will obey the strike order. While the conferees of the New River situation have agreed on terms, the proposition, which is being kept a secret, must be ratified by the operators and by the officials of district No. 29. United Mine Workers, before it becomes effective. The terms will be considered tomorrow and If ratified the strike order which has gone out calling a general strike in the New River field July 1 will be called off.

Two thousand persons attended today's meeting at Eskdale, which was orderly, though a battle between mine guards and miners was narrowly averted this morning. Before the arrival of President Thomas Cairns of district No. 17 and Board Member Thomas Haggerty, who were the principal speakers at the meeting, the miners paraded with flags and a band. Above Eskdale they encountered six mine guards and one miner, Charles Williams, was badly treated, according to the miners. Several hundred miners hurried to their homes and came back with rifles but the mine guards had disappeared.

Armed miners watched the hillsides while the meeting was held. The speakers at the meeting warned the miners to remain, at work at the other mines on Cabin and Paint Creeks and on Coal River, where the operators have carried out the terms of the Hatfield agreement.

Declares Bonds Worthless. Lawyers who have been involved in the complicated litigation between the estate of the late Mary Adelaide Yerkes and the estate of her husband, Charles T. Yerkes, were told today of a decision in which a Chicago court holds worthless J6.750.000 bonds of the old Consolidated Traction Company of Chicago and throws out a suit in her behalf to compel the Chicago Railways Company, which bought out the Consolidated Traction Company, to nake good on the entire bond issue of the old line. The decision in Chicago was handed down by Chief Justice Olson in the Municipal court, who condemned in strong terms the stock jobbing that resulted in the bond issue. The Charles T.

Yerkes estate held $4,494,000 of these bonds and it is possible that the present owners or the bonds will seek to recover from the Yerkes estate the price paid for the bonds. Lawyers who have examined the decision of Chief Justice Olson believe that since the court holds that Yerkes street railway merger was against public policy his estate may be compelled to make restitution for the moneys paid for the bonds.

BRYAN UPHOLDS COURSE IN CAMINETTI CASE Editorial in "Commoner" Declare Criticisms of McReynolds Are Unjust. Pit tsburgh Post Bureau, Post Building.

WASHINGTON-. June 29. In a statement issued in his capacity as "Editor of the Commoner," Secretary Bryan tonight came to the defense of Attorney General McReynolds in connection with the Caminetti case. Mr. Bryan says in part: "Mr.

McReynolds continued the case at the request of Secretary Wilson and it was a reasonable request. Neither can Secretary Wilson be fairly blamed. He declares that he was considering the interests of his department and that he made the request on his own initiative and -without solicitation from Mr. Caminetti. As for Mr.

Caminetti, those who have known him for more than 20 years have no hesitation in saying that there is not a more upright or honorable man in public life. "When the public has had an opportunity to consider the entire case, the administration's course will be sustained. Its hold upon the public would be frail indeed If confidence in it would be destroyed or even shaken by one act, even if it shouid be shown which is not possiblethat that act was a mistake."
