TO CONSIDER GOLD CRISIS Italy’'s Foremost Financial Authority Proposes, Conference. Vienna, Nov. 1 .—An article in the Neue Freie Presse, written by Signor Luzzati, Italy’s foremost financial au- thority, urging the calling of an in- ternational conference to consider the gold crisis, is attracting attention in financial circles. Luzzatl proposes that the treasuries and the leading banks of the world be represented and that the delegates ex- amine the statutes of banks of issue and reform them. He believes the statutes are out of date and that they make all money crises worse. This, he says, is particularly true of Ameri- ca and England. The antique regu- lations of the Bank of England de- creases the gold basis. Joint stock banks ought to increase thelr reserves and not rely alone upon the Bank of England, which no longer governs_the money market and is on the point of losing its monetary auton- omy because its metal basis is too small, Slgnor Luzzati favors an interna- tlonal agreement among the world’s chief banks for: reciprocal loans of gold so as to prevent rivalry. He suggests that Austria and Italy joint- 1y ask France, as the chief banking power of the world, to summon the conference. Chicago Policeman Murdered. Chicago, Nov. 17 —Policeman Rob- ert J.

NO SHORTAGE AT PRESENT But Railroads Expect Big Demand for Cars Later On. Chicago, Nov. 1}—While there are no longer complaints of a car shortage the officials of Western lines do not think the dauger of one is past. It is their opinion that when confidence is restored business will be resumed on a much larger scale and the roads will be unable to meet the demands which will be made upon them. To prepare for this the carshops are overloaded with repair work. Thou- | sands of cars, which heretofore were in such demand that they could not be sent to the shops until the great fall rush was over, are now being overhauled and put in storage. More- over, so far as known, no orders for new equipment have been cancelled. There is still. a strong demand for coal -cars and vast quantities of fuel are pouring into the Northwest. The railroad men hope the bulk of this business will be disposed of before the general call for cars to move the crops is ‘made. There is the wheat crop-of the Northwest and the corn crop of the Southwest to be reckoned with. As yet little of this has been moved and the longer it is held in the country the more urgent will be the demand for cars, WOuLD __PREVENT STRIKES Labor Opposes Government Owner. ship of Railroads and Mines, Norfolk, Va., Nov. 1 .—The Ameri- can Federation of Labor, by a vote of 164 to 50, refused to place Iitself on record as favoring the government ownerships of railways and mines, the question having come up on a resolu- tion by Herbert Crampton of the Amalgamated “Carpenters- to amend the economic platform adopted at Min- neapolis last year so as to include rail- roads and mines in the favorable ac- tion taken at that time on the “na- tionalization” of telegraph and tele- phone properties. The opponents took the grounds that government ownership of mines and railways would prevent all strikes, no matter how peaceably they might be conducted and that with a federal government opposed to labor it might prove a death blow.
