proved by prominent New York
banker, a former banker, and a college

As was indicated by the testimony
given recently by the committee of bank
ers representing the Chicago Conference
of Bankers, the method of selecting the
Federal Reserve Board, the plan govern
ing the proposed issue of notes, and the
number of Federal reserve banks to be
established are the principal features of
the pending bill to which the banking
fraternity objects, according to To-Day s
testimony.

Nassau National Bank of New York
was the only active banker to appear be-
fore the Senate committee yesterday He
advocated an increase in the interest
rate whenever there should be any de-
crease in the reserve funds. He favors
high gold reserve behind the notes which
the bill proposes to have issued in lieu
of the present bank notes. Mr.. Alling
mentioned a reserve of 10 per cent
What may be construed as an intima-
ton that the Senate committee expects
to make alterations in the Glass bill

ment made by Senator Owen in reply
to an inquiry by Mr.. Alling as to
whether the bill would make the emer-
gency currency notes acceptable as re-
serve deposits from member banks.
'They would not, in so far as the, bill
now provides" said the chairman of the
committee.
F. L. Marshall. of st. Louis, an ex-
