BRITISH Ry. STRIKE -
REACHES DEADLOCK
Await 'Action by New. Labor
Minister and Trades Union
Congress Committee,
A de.epatch fromLondos, says :—A
deadlock has been reached in the
strike of the Associated Society of
Ldeornotive Engineers and Firemen.
The managers of the railways an-
nounced that they would not reply te
a letter sent thenCby J. Bromley, sec-
zetary et the Associated $ociety, in
forming them that he regretted that
the strike must continue.
There is a 'fundamental, difference
of principle between the Associated
Society and the railway managers re-
garding the finding of the Wages
Board, froen which the managers re-
fused to depart, although they assert
that they would consider cases of in-
dividual hardship among -the men if
the strike were called off.
It its said to be costing the Asso
elated Society about £7,000 daily to
pay the strikers. The members are
reticent about their rosouroes, but it
is believed thee, the payment of the
strikers' wages ie a severe drain upon
the exchequer of the organization.
It was asserted at the headquarters
of the National union of Railwaymen
that it had been learned from several
provincial mitres that. many of the
members of the enion, ivlio had joined
the strike had returned to work.
The next step to be taken in the
st4e will be action by theenew Labor

British Bank Founded

A despatch from London says.'--
Drummond's, the most aristocratic of
all British private banks, figured in
the news this month, When it was an-
nounced that the Royal Bank of Scot-
land would take it over soon.
_ There are ledgers at Dieumnond's
dating from 1697, when the bank was
founded by Andrew Drininond, reput-
ed to have walked from Edinburgh to
London with a price upon his head
because he had been intrusted with
Jacobite funds. These early ledgers
are written in Dutch and contain en-
tries of gold plate, old lamps and
rings, as well as cuerency. Tradition
says that one of the early Princes of
