WAsHINGToN. Sept. Sin its brief
filed this afternoon IN the United States

against the American can Company,
brought under The Sherman law. the De

Thus. the three big antitrust cases

the Government is likely to win or lose

1t is admitted that the " cases
which will Ice argued early in the mex

Immediate Deposit.

Secretary McAdoo announced that
after a consultation with the board he
had decided to deposit 5000. 900 ia
the reserve banks at Richmond. Atlanta
II Dallas Immediately, d"lstributing Ii
equally amoug tho three institutions.
The remaining SIS. 900. 900. he said,
would be deposited as soon as 1t is
needed.
The scheme worked out by Mr.. Ne
Adoo and his colleagues on the Federal
Reserve Board practically iusurcs that
the member banks will be- forced e.
make the cotton loans at a rate not
exceeding & per cent, without regard to
local money conditions. Mr.. McAdOo at
first considered %depositing the Govern
ment fund directly in the national banks
OF the cotton belt as he had done Ia
previous crop moving seasons. Had he
done SO he would have had no means
of insuring definitely AGAINST the lending
OF the money by the banks at a higher
rate than 8 per cent, and his only in
luence would have been eNerted through
a threat to- withdraw the deposits II a
higher rate was charged.
He followed this plan IN the crop
moving season two years ago when a
blacklist of all banks charging more
thar 6 per cent. on r movement loans
was published by the Treasury Depart
ment.
The present plan. however, iusures
that the cotton planters will have ade-
quite credit at 6 per cent. and at the
same time precludcs any hardships to
the member banks.
