GRADY AFTER STATE BANKS
Seeks Inquiry of Their Relations
with Clearing House.

Albany June g-For Senator Grady
Senator Frawley to-day introduced a reso-
luton directing the superintendent OF
Banks to investigate the relations Of state
banks and trust companies with the New
York Clearing House Association, and how
the rules of that organization affect the
laws OF the state in their application to
state banking institutions and to report not
later than January o. Nobody in the
Senate seemed 70 have a very clear idea
what the resolution was supposed 10 do.
Everybody there traced a connection be-
tween il and the enactment Of a law bear
ing Senator Grady's name providing that
banks owning state and municipal bonds
might have the amount OF their holdings
excluded from the sum on which the legal
reserve 20 be maintained by those institu-
tons should be calculated. The Clearing
House Association frOWned on that and
recently adopted d rule that its Institutions
must maintain the regular lawful reserve
anyhow.
rather imperrinent for the Senator 10 direct
the banking superintendent 70 undertake
this duty.
senator Wagner said he supposed Sena-
tor Grady must have received information
that tine Clearing House had taken action
antagonistic 10 some OF his legislation
senator Black said some OF the trust COM
pauies by going into the Clearing House
Association We're seeking - avoid trouble
with the laws. Senator Wainwright, who
as an Assemblyman. was the sponsor for
the present trust company reserve laws.
explained that the GRADY law broke down
the banking reserve laws. and the bankers
in New York didn't approve a.
The Grady resolution was referred 20 the
Senate Finance Committee with the state

was passed by the Assembly
to-day. IL was discovered after the bill
was passed by the Senate that II would
permit contestants in boxing TO use gloves
weighing eight ounces, or two ounces
each"
As the use OF two-ounce gloves would
mean the sanctionlng OF prizefghting with

intention 10 have such a provision in the
bill. AS the measure was passed by the
Assembly II clearly states that the gloves
shall weigh eight ounces each.
Other bills passed by the Assembly in

ton for the workers in lofts and factory

Henry Morgenthau, president OF the
Committee on Safety, who returned from
Albany last night. said It was the first I'M
portant step in the right direction toward
acquiring proper fire protection for the
workers.

ing thorough investigation Of the deplora-
BILE situation which exists, and the proper
remedies will be sought in rational ana
lasting manner" he said. our committee
will cooperate with the commission. IL mas
been our object to avoid anything irrational
and 10 study the problem from all sides, so
that the required reforms will be reason
ablo and permanent. Hasty and hysterical
action would accomplish nothing. The
commission can realize the ends TO be
sought in the hest possible manner.

zen membership on the commission
