Resolution Passed.

The resolution providing for this rule
read as follows:
Whereas, 1t is recognized that fair
competition In the banking business as
In all others, is a we'll established and
desirable principle, the soliciting or bid :
ding for accounts subject to check by

How have you been injured by the
action OF other Salt Lake City banks
through their clearing house?"
Prior to last July" answered Arm
strong, "other banks accepted checks on
the Copper bank and our correspondent
banks. Since then cash is demanded OF
us and our correspondents for checks. We
had TO send checks direct to banks on
which they were drawn and pay the ex-
press charges They refused our CASH
icrs' checks"
What is the extra cost TO you be-
cause you are not In the clearing house?"
From $4,000 TO SIS, 900 a year We
carry cash and guards Our reserves
must be larger TO protect us against the
onslaught of our sister banks. But"

he had been advised that the rule was
Illegal as against public policy He stated
that membership In the association con-
