To Make California Banks Safe

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. GA
stringent banking law, believed to be
the strongest regulation of financial
institutions ever adopted by any west
ern state, has been prepared by joint
committees, representing the legisla-
ture and the bankers of California
and now is up for passage before the
Legislative session which was COM
mence this week. 1t is expected that
it will be passed with few alterations,
and will result in making California
banks among the safest in the coun-
try.
The proposed law is modelled after
the recently enacted New York bank
ing law, but in many respects is more
stringent than that measure. is COM
prehensive character is indicated in its
title which is: "An Act to Define and

Boycott
Will not be Lifted

Any idea that the Washington State
Federation of Labor is about to lift
the boycott on the Alaska ukon-
Pacific exposition, to be held in Seattle
next year, is a long ways to the bad,
if one is to judge by the tenor of the
remarks of the delegates who are now
in the city, and it seems to be a pretty
safe guess that the boycott will STAY
where it is.
Seattle delegates interviewed this
morning emphatically deny that they
have any idea of trying to lift the
boycott, and while the concensus OF
opinion seems to be that the matter
will not be brought up at ALL it is safe
to say that if it is there will be some
strenuous opposition to any action
THE boycott will stay where it is'
declared one of the Seattle delegates
who is affiliated with the building
trades council, which had the original
grievance against the exposition au-
thorities"
Several others standing nearby
agreed with him.
President Frank w. Cotterill stated
IL dS Ills OplIllOIl CldI Cn6 matter
would not be brought up at all. He
said that the organization which made
the original complaint of "unfairness'
against the exposition authorities had
not requested that the boycott be lift
ed, and that it was unlikely that the
state federation would take any action
unless the injured body requested 1t

position authorities had not made any
request that the boycott be lifted. al
though the matter had been discussed
in the Seattle newspapers
The boycott was declared because
the exposition authorities refused to
compel contractors on the grounds to
employ union carpenters. 1t is stated
that at the time the bids for the build
ing contracts were called for, esti-
mates were prepared by the contrac-
tors based on the prevailing union
scale of wages. Just before the bids
were submitted the hard times of last
fall came on, and seeing lots Of idle
men the contractors decided that they
could secure plenty Of carpenters at
$500 per day and accordingly lowered
their bid, thereby securing the con-
tract.
When non union men were put to
work at the lower scale, the building
trades of Seattle Immediately pro-
tested to the exposition authorities,
and intimated that boycott would be
likely unless the contractors were
forced to hire union men. The expo
sition board declined to interfere and
the boycott was declared at the last
meeting of the state federation.
The employment of non unich car
penters on the exposition grounos was
serious blow to the building trades
in Seattle, and delegates representing
those organizations will fight hard
against the lifting of the boycott in
case an effort is made to lift it.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-01-06

Prominent features of the new law
are as follows:
Creation of a state banking depart
ment, in lieu of the board of bank
commissioners.
Acting officer with the title of su-
perintendent of banks.
His salary to be $4,000 a year. and
he must have had actual bank expert

Three examinations and reports on
each bank every year.
Publicity for bank officials who bor-
row funds of the institution with
which they are connected.
TwO-thirds of the directors must
approve such loan and the superin-

Limitation to the amount that
may be loaned.
