Sunday Work on Bridge Approach
To the Editor Of The star:


Why is it necessary to carry on the
work Of grading and excavating In Q
street northwest on the Sabbath day?
The street in question is the western
approach to the new @ street bridge,
and from present appearance 1t seems
that there will be ample time to COM
plete the paving, etc, before the bridge
Is open to traffic. Aside from the fact
that the work on the street is being
done Sunday. 1t is very disturbing to
those who visit Oak Hill cemetery on
that day, the lower part of the ceme-
terry being in the vicinity of Q street,
and the shouting and noise of the
teamsters and mule drivers on this
otherwise quiet day is a dissertation Of
the Lords day. that is, in a civilized
country. Necessity hath no law" but
there are many statutes regulating and
restricting certain kinds of work and
labor on Sunday. works Of charity and
Of great necessity" alone excepted.
Again / ask. why are the contractors
permitted to violate the sanctity Of
our day Of rest? There are times when
it is necessary to dig trenches. etc.
night and day, including Sunday, but
we have not reached that stage as yet.
1t does not look just right for the
District of Colum bia to set an example
of non observance of the day.

Possibility of Its Amendment
One of Subjects Under
Consideration.
NATIONAL CONVENTION
BUSY WITH PROBLEMS
Trust Powers Given to National
Banks Called Unconstitutional
by Lawyer.

| SEATTLE, Wash. September l.
With meetings of the trust company
savings banks and clearing house sec
lions, delegates to the forty-flrst an
nual convention Of the American Bank
| ers' Association settled down here to-
day to serious work. The workings OF
the federal reserve act and the posi-
bility Of its amendment was the key
note of the programs in the various
sections.
The outstanding feature Of the pro-
gram in the trust company division
was discussion Of the right of con-
gress to confer trust powers upon ma
tional banks, following an address on
! that topic by Henry NJ. Campbell OF
Detroit, Mich.
In the clearing house section an ad-
dress on the Settlement of Clearing
| House Balances by o. Howard Wolf
i Of Philadelphia. was expected to give
direction to the deliberations of that
body. The need for great liqufdity
Of savings bank investments was one
of the more important topics to come
before the savings bank division, after
| a symposium on 1.-The railroads and the
people," led by William Sproule. pres
ident Of tho Southern Pacific railroad.
Calls It Unconstitutional.
Mr.. Campbell, speaking before the
trust company section Of the conven-
ton, declared that Congress did not
have the authority to confer trust COM
pany powers on national banks. as pro-
vided in the federal reserve act.
Mr.. Campbell is one Of the counsel
for the trust companies which have
undertaken a joint action contesting
| the constitutionality of section IL (k)
of the act, giving the board power to
grant to national banks, when not IN
contravention of state laws. the right
to act as trustees, executor. adminis-
| traitor and registrar of stocks and
bonds.
The paragraph was added to the act
at the eleventh hour, Mr.. Campbell said,
and conferred upon the reserve board
power over many domestic affairs
wholly foreign to national banking
business. and which have before been
regulated exclusively by local law.
Mr.. Campbell said there was no con-
tention that trust company rights were
necessary to the administration of
government affairs or an essential
part Of national banking business. He
added that it was not banking bust
ness. and as a result of all this the ac-
ton OF Congress could not be sustained
by the theory Of implied powers.
Furthermore. he said, a search Of the
Constitution failed to show anything
WHICH, gave SOHST eSS the authority TO
confer on national banks or any other
corporation the rights of trust COM
panies.
Mr.. Campbell said, conceding that
Congress did have the authority to
grant trust company rights to national
banks, all constitutional law was to the
effect that Congress could not delegate
this authority to the reserve board.
Regarding the question of whether a
legislature might relinquish the states
control over trust companies to the
federal reserve board. he said:

The solution Of the problem, he con-

oped from the fear Of depositors that
they would not ultimately get their
money from the banks. but from the
fear that they would not be able to
get the money Just when they wanted
It; He continued: =.
Gas an aid in arriving at a plan 1t
seems essential:
"F'irst-That the federal reserve
banks should be given power to accept
the collateral Of savings banks for cur
rency. This may be done through
member banks authorized to act as in
termediaries.
"second-That state laws should be
enacted permitting investment by saw
ings banks in certain securities ac-
ceptable to the federal reserve board"
Advocates Extreme Conservatism.
The executive committee Of the trust
company section of the association In
its report presented at today's session
urged extreme conservatism" on the
part of trust companies in the extern
sion Of business. 1t also held tho view
that the federal reserve act must un.
dergo a number of changes before trust
companies should consider entering tne
federal reserve system.
The action which the trust companies
have taken jointly to test the const1tu-
tionality Of the portion of the federal
reserve act in which the granting OF
trust powers is given to national banks
was referred to in the report. Pending
the outcome Of this suit, the committee
had also taken up with the federal re-
serve board the question OF certain
regulations in relation to trust COM
panies. The report had this to say:
while the reserve board has met
your committees suggestion in some
particulars, nevertheless 1t Is the tudg-
ment of your committee that the fed
eral officials have not as yet gone far
enough in this regard to permit 1t to
advise the trust companies Of the coun-
try to Join the system. On the con-
trary. 1t is the judgment Of your COM
mittee that certain necessary changes
in the act itself, as we'll as in the regu-
lations Of the board, ought to be made
before the trust companies should con-
slider entering the federal reserve sys-
tenn"

their mettle and when Starter Royce
Hough dropped the flag at the start of
the next fve-mile event for automo-
biles from 301 to $50 cubic inches pis-

ing C. Barber of this city made his
debut. He was at the wheel of his CT
gar-shaped racer "Eye-See-Bee," of his

speedy look caught the crowd and all
eyes were on him from that time on.
