ORDERS RECIPROCAL
PLANS FOR BANKS
Federal Commission Directs I'm.
mediate Clearance at All In
stitutions on List.

A voluntary reciprocal plan Of inn
mediate clearance at all Federal re-
serve banks where q clearing plant Is
not already in operation was directed
by the Federal Reserve Board yestcr-
day
The clearing plan is to be put into
effect with as little delay as possible.
Letters are being sent to all Federal
reserve agents today directing them to
take the matter up at once with their
boards Of directors.
The Federal Reserve Board does not
prescribe details inasmuch as 1t has
found In those districts where general
clearing IL already being practiced the
best results were obtained by leaving
the control OF such details in the hands
OF the local authorities. 1t however.
states that It will approve as a begin
ming a reciprocal arrangement whereb by
banks asserting to the plan will be given
the privileges Of immediate clearance at
par upon all other banks similarly as
senting
1t Is the belief Of the board that within
short time a general clearing arrange
ment Will be In operation in all districts
and that this will be gradually extended
so as to embrace the bulk Of the bankS
In the system.
The plan does not provide for tho set
tlement OF the balances between Fed
eral reserve banks or for the inter dis
trict clearing Of checks. 1t Is an intra-
district clearing plan pure and simple,
the inter-district phases Of the problem
being reserved for future treatment.

nent Ones.

Although SOME separations from the
rolls Of the Government Printing Office
seem inevitable, as result of the slack
work following the adjournment Of
Congress. these separations will be prin-
cipally among temporary employees.
A system Of furloughs IL being worked
out by which It is hoped that. most of
the permanent employees can be retained
The force has been gradually reduced
under Public Printer Ford, until the pay
roll has been reduced 5000 a month,
with an increased output, and with in
creased work from the departments,
most, II not all, the Permanent force
can be retained.
Discussing the situation today Public
Printer Ford said
THE civil service has for some time
granted upon my request, extensions OF
the six month period for temporaries to
nine months to skilled workers whose
services were proving satisfactory. This
was to meet the emergency Of the con-
tinued sessions Of Congress. Naturally
these people cannot be retained upon
fair and equitable manner of furloughs
Of a few days each month may solve
the problem and minimize the natural
distress that a reduction in the volume
OF work forces upon the employees now
carried upon the roll. Anticipating
the condition that now confronts me,
have had these matters in mind for
some time. and every effort possible
has been made and will be made to
sible." wv
