Friday to attend a meeting at New

eRs from nearly every state in the

itself. 1t is proposed to issue d uni
form bank money order payable
through an immonse clearing house
in New York city, probably the West.
ern national bank. with branch clear.
ing houses in all other large cities.
To compete with the express com.
panies the rates for the issuance of
