BANKS NEED NOT PAY.
Government Must Foot Bills for
Shipping Currency Not Ordered.

In cases where the controller OF the
currency has forwarded emergency
currency to subtreasuries. and such
paper currency has not been required
by the banks. the charge for trans
portation to the subtreasury and back
to Washington is a proper charge
against the government and not prop
erly the subject for a charge for re-
endorsement against the bank.
While the money had been sent to
the subtreasury as a matter Of con-
venience to the bank, rules George z.

Mass. Field representatives under
Mr.. Palmer's direction have can
vassed the New England industry
pretty thoroughly, while investigat-
ions have been in progress in the
South, Pennsylvania, New York
State and the West. II was said
yesterday that the inquiry into SHG
women's underwear branch of the
business has been completed, while
the field workers are well up on the
hosiery and underwear lines. There
was some delving into this city's
mems clothing industry by the
agents in January. According to the
reports current yesterday, the inves-
tigators will be back here about July
for the purpose of completing their
inquiry into the clothing business.
The departments agents, while
meeting with many refusals on the
part of manufacturers to show their
books and other data, have in other
instances, it was stated, been accord.
ed every facility in the effort to get
at the facts. Agent Paymer will
have a conference today in Washing

derstanding is that the complete re

tries will not be filed before next fall
In order to overcome the object

agents have been instructed to make
it plain that the investigation is moi
being conducted by the department
in an unfriendly vein, but merely to
develop facts sure to prove benefic
ial to the industry and the public
alike. All reports, it is reiterated
will be held as strictly confidential
so far as the revealing of the identi
