BANKERS CONFER ON

New York Einanciers Oppose
Federal Scrutiny Of Sums
Over 100000.
POINT TO LONG DELAYS
Capital Issues Committee to
Formulate Plans on Sug-
gestions Made.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia delegation
Of leading bankers from New York, Boz
ton. Philadelphia, Pittsburs, ChlcaSo.
Cleveland and other cities conferred to-
day with the Capital Issues COMMITTEES
to discuss methods for further restrfc-
ing credit for essential war purposes and
charging tho committees function to
include supervision Of bank loans for
construction and similar capital pur-
poses.
The bankers were told that the COM
mittee would consider carefully all sug-
gestions before FORMULATING regula-
tons requiring banks and borrowers to
obtain the committees approval before
making loan OF more than 100000 for
construction purposes. The Federal Re-
serve Board Is now discussing methods
Of aiding the committee to put into effect
the restriction of bank loans.
Quite a difference OF opinion exists
among many prominent bankers of the
important money markets as to whether
all loans above 100000 should be scru-
tinized by the Capital Issues Committee.
In the Boston Federal reserve district
the local Capital Issues Committee in.
sists upon the submission Of bankers
capital loans Of 100000 and upward.
while In & Louis the Reserve Bank at
that centre has decreed that tn member
banks submit 70 the Capital Issues Com
mittee all capital loans above or below
100000
New York bankers. however. object
to submitting loans above 100000 to
- - 49,
mittee, declaring that such a procedure
would cause Unnecessary delays in ex-
tending credit to worthy borrowers.
Local bankers contend that they are
complying with the spirit of the law
regarding capital loans, but that bank
ing loans made generally for COM
mercial purposes should not be sub
jected TO the same requirements.
Local bankers have been cooperating
making loans where there was any
doubt as to the exact nature Of the
operation.
One prominent banker pointed out
that a borrower might want a loan
Immediately, so that II his application
had to be placed before the Capital
Issues Committee It probably would be
two or three days before he could OBJ
tain tho money. which might be too
late. In other quarters II was said
that the work OF the Capital Issues
Committee now consumed 90 much Of
the banksrS time that supervision Of
all loans above 100000 would neces-
state an enlargement OF the Capital
Issues Committee membership.
