The following statement was is- sued this morning at the factory: “Under pressure of present demand, | the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. finds it | impossible to make the required de- | liveries in its heayvy and light heavy metal working machinery on the usual one shift and is organizing a night force for a two-shift day and night schedule to start February 11. “This plant recently installed sev- eral high protection units and has | several more on order, but, not- sug for th: to su slightly pounds, which is regarded minimum Montagu Norman, of the Bank of It was declared that the loans by ' their 50th wedding anniversary yos- federal reserve banks for speculation | terday, the occasion was made more were negligible and that most of | joytul individuals | Healy of 27 Wallace street when and corporations.™ Loans to brokers | they were pleasantly surprised last and dealers by New York federal re- | ovening by 41 of their friends, most- | | serve member banks last week total- |}y ed $1,090,000,000 while out of town | pagtern Star banks had such loans. ch loans came_from 3,000,000 placed in The banks had loaned r account of others a total of §2,- 615,000,000, It was said that the loans by banks to brokers and deal- crs was chiefly for purposes other an speculation. he increase in the rate of the Bank of England from ¢ per cent 5% per cent was regarded by | treasury officials as only natural to | protect the position of the bank, It was pointed out that with gold be- ing attracted to the New York mar- ket through high money rates it was | essential that the Bank of England take some action.

To date, approximately 50 changes have been demanded in the plans, and this afternoon’s meeting is in the nature of a “showdown.” Mem- bers of the school committee are anxious to proceed without further delay, but the building Wepartment is unwilling to grant a permit until the conditions imposed by the build- ing code have been complied with, it is explained.

The first proposal was re- Jjected as being unsafe in some de- tails and not sufficient in others. a , THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1929, where ed on Bunday, signing for the Pop: and Premier Mussolini for King Victor Emman- uel, of- the so-called Christian The Lateran Palace was the original residence of the Popes from the time that the Emperor Constantine coo- verted himself to Christianity until the’ return of the Holy Bee from Avignon more than a thoussnd years ago.
