notice that it will. as a member of the
District of Columbia Bankers Associ-
alton, bring up the question of 2
o'clock closing other than on Satur-
day at the next meeting of the organ

The resolution which the Union
Savings Bank will introduce cites, as
the reason for this action. the great
difficulty in getting help and the ne
cessity of relying on unframed assist
ants.
The resolution might go farther
and call attention to the overWorked

demic now prevailing here.
In one bank twenty-eight clerks are
absent for this reason: in another ten.
in another seven, and from twenty
eight to four or five in the banks OF
the city almost without exception.
The fact that several clerks in each
bank are devoting their time to the
fourth liberty loan further compli-
Gates matters.
Two o'clock closing would entail no
gate the hardshipS of bank clerks.
Heretofore the movement has only
been considered by the local Clearing
House Association. and the savings
banks were not urged to close earlier.
The fourteen national banks in the
clearing house favored adjournment.
Because of the large membership
in the District bankers association
il is always difficult to secure unani-
nous approval of a resolution, but
the clearing house should take up the
matter again and put it through, in
Niting as many savings banks and
trust companies as care to act with
the national banks to do SO.
