TO FIND OUT IF BANKS
OBEY THE CLAYTON LAW
Federal Reserve Bonrd Takes Steps
to Learn IL Intcrl"cklnE Di-
rcctOrs ENist.

wASHINGTON. July 2S.-The Fed
eral Reserve Board has assigned IL
r. Delany, Jv., assistant counsel OF the
board. 10 the work OF determining
whether the provisions Of the Clayton
antitrus, ac, applying to interlock!ng
directories OF banking institutions
under Federal supervision and con-
troll are violated
The law III this regard becomes et-
fective October -. and Mr.. Delany
has a mass o: work ahead Of him be-
fore that Tine.
The original act provided that 10
person should be n director, officer or
employee of two institutions under
Federal supervision having resources
aggregating s5.0o00Oo Private bank
ers in institutions OF this magnitude
were also forbidden from serving in
banks of reserve membership or simi-
lar size. The same prohibition en-
tends 10 banking establishments in
cities Of o00.0 900 inhabitants.
The law did not undertake 10 pre-
vent interlocking d!rectorates of banks
located in small! cities and having small
aggregate resources. The main pur-
pose Of the act was TO prevent mo-
nopolization and Capitalization OF
credit through interlock!nG directors
Of banking institutions in large cities.
thereby deprivinE the public OF leg!ti-
mate competition.
Recognizing that there might be
some injustice in the original act. Con-
gress passed an amendment. which was
approved by President Wilson May Is
last, permitting the same directors.
officers and employees to serve In as
many as three institutions providing
that those institutions were not In
substantial competition" with each
other.
The amendment requires however.
that before this interlocking official
relation shall be allowed the Federal
Reserve Board must give consent
A large number of blanks have been
printed and sent to persons desiring to
serve. as officers of more than one
institution in which they are required
to set forth the names of the institu-
tons and the relation they are to oc-
cupy TO each, and declaring that there
is no substantial competition.
The applicant must also set out his
business relation with all other firms
and corporations he is connected with
and the position he occupied in this
business.
Blanks have also been sent to the
Federal reserve agents requiring them
to report upon the applications Of per
sons wishing permission to serve in
more than one institution, and these
reports must be made after careful ex-
animation OF all the business and bank
ing institutions with which the appli-
can't is connected and whether the an
plication should be granted or refused.
Through't the applications required by
law and the reports that will he re-
ceived upon each the Federal reserve
board will be enabled to keep in close
touch with the presence of men in a
number or banking institutions.
