Bankers Association Adopts Secret
Code For Confidential Business.
NEW YORK, Aug 8.-Members of the
receiving private code, the work of
the members, which was edited by the
secretary Of the association. BY Its
use 1t is expected that members will
be able to communicate with one an
other at great saving. at the same
time insuring absolute secrecy In all
confidential matters.
There has been no code which con.
tanned the terms employed by bankers.
For several months the association has
been getting together material for the
little book, which will exert powerful
influence In stopping the payment of
spurious checks
OF course the code is secret. Only
the members will be able to decipher
the meaning of communications that
are expected to save the association
thousands of dollars each year.
There are 1900 members of the
Bankers association. Since organiza-
ton some new plan has been adopted
each year to safeguard the institutions
against fraud. A detective agency
keeps under surveillance the notorious
criminals of America. When a safe is
robbed the detectives of the agency be
gin to hunt down the burglars. With
the code it will be possible for bankers
in widely remote districts to communi-
cate quickly and secretly.
