The case against Sir Montague Alâ€" lan, president of the bank, charged with negligently signing the false report, is now to be heard. Grand Jury brought in a true bill against Sir Montague who elected a sumâ€" mary trial in the court jof special sessaions. j D. C. Macarow, general manager of the defunct Merchants Bank, was on Thursday found not guilty of making wilfully false or deceptive statements of the bank‘s financial condition in a return to the Federal government | for Odober 1921, in the â€" cuurt of special sessions by Chief Justice Decarie. In the resolutions, the operators agreed to extend the wage contract in force on March 31,1922, to Augâ€" ust 31, 1923. The proposal had previously been uccepted in prinâ€" ciple by the leaders of the mine workers. D. C. MACAROW MERCHâ€" ANTS BANK MANAGER ISs ACQUITTED. The operators have been quoted as saying that they will be able to resume the normal flow of coal in about thirty days if the railroads are able to supply the cars. These have been promised by the rallways. At an earlier meeting, the anthraâ€" cite operaitors, in resolutions adâ€" opted, by the rolicies committee, had accepted the proposal made by Senators Pepper and Reed, of Pennâ€" sylvania, to resume the production of coal. They said that it was likely that many of the men would go into the mines within a week, and that minâ€" ing operations would be in full opâ€" eration throughout the hard coal district before the end of next week. The first men to return to work will prepare the mines for operation after the five months of idleness. The men will return to work as soon as the Pepperâ€"Reed plan has been ratified, declared J. L. Lewis, international president of the Unitâ€" ed Mine Workers. Members of the committee _ expressed _ confidence that the agreement would be ratified. Anthracite miners and operators in the United States having settled their wage differences after more than five months of controversy, every effort will be made to start production of coal as soon as possâ€" ible. ‘The miners will meet in conâ€" vention to vote to ratify or reject the terms arranged.

Mr. Ferguson thinks he can prove it," he declared, "I will let him name any reasonable way ic conduct an investigation. I will investigate it down to the bottom. I will be glad to let him say how it is to be investigated, he staking his political lifeâ€"as I must stake mine â€"on the outcome." \ To Charges Made by Hon. C Dealing directly with the charge the Premier stated emphatically there had been "no bargain, no inâ€" fluence, _ no nothing" connected with the disposal of the limits in question to Mr. Backus. Speaking at the Lincoln County U.F.O. picule here last week,; Premâ€" ler Drury gave a flat denial of the charge recently made by Hon. G. H. Ferguson, that there had beeh a segret agreement between the Premier and E. W. Backus for the disposal of the English River timâ€" ber limit to Backus without oanpo-‘ tition. Hon.
