Banks Must Act.

Warnings were issued
to national banks by M. c. Elliott, sec
rotary of the reserve bank organiza-
ton committee, that, to comply with
the currency act, they must signify
within 60 days of it's enactment their
intention to join the new system. Sew

which do not so signify within 60 days
must prepare to liquidate, and are al
lowed IL months for this process.

Washington.-To find work for the
unemployed thousands in the nations
largest cities and Industrial centers,
the federal commission on industrial
relations has inaugurated an investi-
cation to extend from Boston to Kan
sas City. Attention first will be given
to public and private employment
agencies to bring out to what extent
the trouble is due to their lack Of or
ganization and inefficiency. Four in
vestigators have been assigned to un-
dertake this task and report within
six weeks.
The commission, 1t is announced, re-
CARDS the unemployment problem as
permanent one, because the present
conditions in the labor field virtually
are the same as exist every year at
this season, and it is proposed, there
fore, to gather material for the prep
aration of legislation by congress to
establish federal employment bureau
to serve as clearing house for public
and private agencies and to direct the
movement of migratory workers.
