Clearing of Checks.

State bankers and others whose in
stitutions are not in the Federal Re
serve system will have considerable
time yet before they have TO consider
what defensive measures they shall
take in the matter of clearing checks.
No decision has yet been made by the
Federal Reserve Board, and 1t IS be-
licvod none will he made for some time.
Bankers are awaiting the action Of the
Reserve Board with great deal Of
interest because Of the realization that
whatever it does there is bound 70 be
something like a revolution in the
business of check clearing.
