COMMUNIST INFLUENCE?

LONDON, August 4. Banking in Spain has been disorganised by aļ strike of bank clerks for higher pay.
A Madrid message says that the Westminster Bank, one of the big five," despite bringing from England a number of clerks to replace, the Spanlab malcontents, has now closed down in consequence of intimidation. Two others have also suspended operation.
The Banks refuse to reinstate the strikers un less they resign from the union, which is stated to be controlled by Communists. There have been some disorders resulting in twenty arrests. The Government is considering a modified form of moratorium owing to the banking confusion.
