BANKERS TO SEND H|NE
President of First National
Named to Go to Chicago.
ONE OBJECTION TO BILL
Political Character of Federal
Reserve Board in Currency
Plan Disliked.

Francis l.. Hine. president of the First
National Bank and the head of the New
York Clearing House Association, was
appointed yesterday 10 represent the New
York bankers at the coming conference
in Chicago to consider the administration
currency bill Walter Il. Frew chairman
Of the Clearing House committee. and
also the president of the Corn Exchange
Bank, made this announcement At the
close of a meeting of the committee.
New York bankers are watching with
keen interest the eleventh-hour amend
ments which are being made 20 the Glass
instrument and there Is general feehng
of satisfaction that the sponsors OF the
new bill are willing to heed the counsels
of the business interests Of the country.
There now remains, according 20 "A mem
Der Of the currency commission of the
American Bankers Association. only one
important Objectionable feature 10 the
bill. which the members hope 10 get
remedied before il reaches a vote in the
Senate.
This Is the political character Of the
Federal Reserve Board. To influence
legislation 10 secure direct representation
by the bankers on this board IS the chief
reason for the proposed conference at
Chicago. OF course. other matters Will Re
discussed but this is admitted 10 be the
feature that will consume the major part
of the discussions.
Because the currency committee of the
American Bankers Association Endorsed
the Aldrich monetary plan TWO years
ago. before II met defeat by Congress.
said a member of the committee, the
SPONSORS Of the bill at Washington have
persistently refused 10 heed our objec-
tions 10 the Glass bill. For this reason
we have sent invitations 10 the clearing
houses in practically every city OF the
country 10 present views that cannot be
said TO be prejudiced. The bankers are
going to Chicago as a deliberative body.
1t is not their intention 70 issue any
threats. but to present their reasons why
the bill is not acceptable and why the
national banks will not be willing 20 con-
ttnue their federal charters under the
powers accorded the Federal Reserve
Board.
IF the sponsors Of the new bill are
willing 70 incorporate into the federal
reserve clause provision allowing the
banks direct representation on the board.
there will be no need for holding the
proposed conference at Chicago. The
larger banks feel that they should have
a voice in directing where their deposits
shall be placed. not through any selfish
motive. but for the protection Of their
stockholderA
Senator owen has cleveriy referred to
the control Of the three great European
banks in defending his bill. He calls
their governing board business men,
while as a matter of fact, they are bank
ers Of long and tried experience. The
only difference is in the appellation In
such countries as England. where, bank
ePs are called merchants"
