SENATE PASSES EDGE BILL
Permits Financing in U. 8. Cor
poration for Foreign Banking.
Specidl Despatch TO The SIN

CpOctdt DeSputCh 10 SUN
WARRINGTON, Sept s.-The Edge bill.
amending the Federal Reserve currency
act of 1913 to permit organization
within the United States, under super
vision OF the Federal Reserve Board, OF
corporations to engage solely In foreign
banking business. passed the Senate to-
day, It was amended in several re-
spects at the suggestion or Senators
Gronna IN. d. and Smoot (Utah).
Senator Edge IN. j.. author of the
measure, promptly accepted the sugges-
tons Of his colleagues that there might
be as little delay as possible In getting
the bill through.
The bill provides that corporations
organizing in the United States shall
have no less than 100000 capital.
Under the original draft provision had
been made that rs per cent. OF that cap
ital must be paid In at the time of or
ganization. No specific date was set for
the completion of payments. On that
point an amendment by Senator Smoot
providing that the remainder OF the cap
ital should be paid UP in instruments of
not less than 10 per cent. during every
two months until the full subscription
should have been paid in was adopted
The bill had provided that the direc-
torates of the corporations proposed to
be organized should have a majority Of
American citizens. That clause was
amended at the suggestion of Senator
Gronna to provide that all directors
should be Americans.
The bill had provided that stockhold-
ers should be liable to the extent OF the
amount OF their unpaid subscriptions.
Senator Gronna offered an amendment
increasing that liability to double the
total amount OF individual holdings,
which amendment was accepted by SEN
ator Edge.
At Senator Gronna's suggestion the
following amendment, framed to protect
against the organization OF or mainte-
nance of combinations in restraint of
trade, was adopted
/ mo corporation organized under this
act shall engage in commerce and trade
or deal In commodities or foodstuffs or
as a condition of extending credit die
tate or attempt to control the buyer or
seller in the disposition Of commodities
or interfere with the freedom of compe-
tition in the sale of commodities"
| Senator Edge, subsequent TO the pas
sage of the bill. said that he believed the
action OF the House would be speedy and
favorable. He thought. he said, that,
under the permission thus granted to or
ganize for the handling Of foreign cred
| it's. a great stimulation to Americas for
eign trade would be accomplished.

UNTITLED STEEL
ORDERS INCREASE
United States Corporations
Books on Aug. 81 Show
530,442 Tons Gain.
ESTIMATE is EXCEEDED
Aggregate Increase Since May
Is 1,826,793 Tons-Figures
Below Last Years.

The report of unified orders on the
books of the United States Steel Cor
poration on August 81. 1919. made
public yesterday noon, shows an in
crease Of 5So.442 tons compared with
the July figures, the third successive
increase since the low figure was
touched In May. The aggregate in.
crease in untitled orders since May has
reached 1,826,793 tons. Although Wall
Street and the financial district gen.
orally was anticipating a substantial
increase from last months figures, even
the most hopeful had not estimated the
advance as more than 100000 tons, and
the general expectation was that an
increase OF about 100000 tons would
be shown.
The report showed that the unfilled
orders at the close of August totalled
6,l09,103 tons against 5,57s,66l tons
in July. 4,s92,s55 tons In June and
4.2s2,310 tons in May. When the slump
came in May 1t was attributed to a
large extent to hesitation Of large buy
ers of steel to make purchases at the
then current prices. They were of the
opinion that they would be able to meet
their needs at lower figures and con-
Within a few weeks II was made APP
parent to them that any hope of lower
prices which they may have held could
be discarded. From that time the
steel business advanced rapidly right up
to the present Every month since has
shown an increase In unified tonnage
and reports OF purchases from big
users, such as motor car companies,
the Railroad Administration, &C., have
become more and more frequent.
The tonnage figures for August are
less than 5000 900 tons below those for
the same month of last year. while the
May tonnage statement showed drop
OF more than 100000 tons from that
OF May, 1913. The peak figure was
reached at the entrance of the United
States into the war when the tremen-
dous war orders which were thrown
on the Steel Corporation. made the
tonnage figures Jump to the record mark
Of 12,1s3.os2 tons. The following table
