American Bankers Give Pro-
posaI Some Hard Knocks.
THEN AN APPEAL COMES
Postal Savings Bank League Ad-
dresses Convention.
BUT ITS LETTER ISN'T READ
And All Because It Says Bankers
Should Be Good Re-
publicans.

CHICAGO. September 16.-The postal
savings bank question came to the lore
at the meeting of the savings bank sec
ton of the American Bankers Assocla-
ton convention here today.
In the midst of a committee report ad-
verse to postal savings banks, ana
speeches deprecating the entrance OF the
government into the banking business. an
open letter was received from the Postal
Savings Bank League of the United
States. The letter was addressed TO
George NJ. Reynolds, president fof the
American Bankers Association. and was
signed by Julius Goldzier. president OF
the Postal Savings Bank League. In
part the open letter says:
THE recent expressions Of officers OF
your association tend to show spirit OF
opposition to postal savings banks which,
while contrary to public opinion, is also
as we believe. contrary to the best In
terests of your business.
Appeal for Postal Banks.
1.-The dominant party is most solemnly
pledged to the esta adjustment of the peo-
pies banks. yet in the same breath in
which you make a proposition in behalf
of the moneyed interests Ga central bank
OnUer government supervisory YOU DISK
the legislative and executive to ignore
and violate the pledges given to the
body of the people in platforms and Of
fetal documents
The league calls on the bankers for as
sistance in securing postal savings
banks in the following words:
Here is the place and the time when
broad patriotism urges that opposition
to the postal depository measure ia
vored by President Taft shall cease, and
that the American Association win the
trust. esteem and profound respect of
the American people by publicly and
frankly indorsing that measure. unmind-
full of seeming and immediate Self-inter-
est to the contrary.
Experience in other countries has
shown that, so far from injuriously affect
ing the banking business. postal savings
banks have acted as feeders to banks, in
creasing deposits in number and volume
It Wasn't Read.
Mr.. Reynolds showed the letter to a
number of delegates today. but no action
was taken. 1t is said that the letter. if
read at all at the main meeting tomorrow
will fall for the most part on unfriendly
ears. Practically every speech made so
far at the bankers convention has been
adverse to postal savings banks. This
mornings speakers, H. s. Henscher OF
Chicago. John H. Johnson. president of
the savings bank section, and H. NJ. Zim-
norman, were all against this form of
banking.
