NEW CHARTERS
 NOT REQUIRED
NATIONAL BANKS CAN DO BUSi- NESS UNDER THEIR FORMER
 FEDERAL CHARTERS.
Banks Are Advised to Take Vote of Stockholders on Proposition of Joining New System.

Washington Dec. 30.-Banks that enter the federal reserve system do not need to take out new charters, but both state and national banks be- come members by making proper ap- plicaion and by becoming stockhold- CTS in federal reserve banks, accord ing to a regulation issued tonight by by the reserve bank organization com mittee.
 In it's announcement inc committee also declared that action by a board of directors is sufficient to bring a bank into the new system, but advis- ed that banks that wish to be on the safe side may sound out their stock holders.
 The regulation says;
 The federal reserve act provides for membership of banks operating under state charters, as well as mem bership of national banks. No new
  the cases. Eligible banks become members by becoming stockholders in federal reserve banks when their ap- plications have been properly approv- ed and stock has been allotted to them. Such subscription to the cap ital stock of the federal reserve bank appears to be a matter within the province of the board of directors of the subscribing bank. The organiza- tion committee. therefore, deems it unnecessary to require as a condi- tion precedent to membership that | the stockholders should take any for nal action.
 "Inasmuch, however, as stockhold- CTS of a bank have legal right, by necessary vote. to force a solvent bank to liquidate, and if dissatisfied with the action of the board in be coming members, might exercise this prerogative, banks desiring to take the precautionary measure of can wasting the sentiment of the stock holders may. by resolution of tneil  boards, submit the question to stock holders, either at the next regular meeting or at a specially called meet ing, This course, however, is not il, sisted on by the organization commit tee.
 Those national banks passing res olutions of non-acceptance on or be fore February 22. 1914, should, al soon thereafter as convenient, ant before the expiration of the twelve months prescribed in the federal re serve act, submit their action to th' stockholders for confirmation, sine non-acceptance of the provisions o the federal reserve act ultimately vii involve the liquidation of such nation al banks.
