MANY BANKS ASK
U. S. FOR Charters

Applications TO the Comptroller Of
the Currency for authority to organ
ize national banks, during the week
ending October 10, and charters issued
during the same week were more
numerous than during any OF the past
six weeks.
Most OF the applications for char
ters came from the agricultural cen
ters OF the Middle West. In the Fifth
Federal reserve district, a charter
was issued during the past week to
the First National Bank OF Dillwyn,
Va, with a capital stock Of $4,000.
The total capital stock OF banks to
which charters, were issued aggre-
gated S1,3OO,OO0, which is greatly in
excess OF the aggregate capital stock
Of banks to which charters were IS
sued in any week during September.
Applications for charters were made
by banks to have an aggregate capi-
tai stock Of $415,OoO.
The general business condition OF
the country is. reflected in the in
creases OF capital granted during the
past week. Nine banks, chiefly in the
central and far western States, were
permitted to increase their capital to
an amount totaling $2,29O,O0O. The
first National Bank Of Fort Mill, S. C.,
increased its capital stock from
S25 600 70 $4,000. The Corn EX-
change National Bank Of Chicago
was permitted to increase its capital
stock from S3,OOO,0OO to S5,O0OOO0.
Steps are now being taken by
number Of local men and a few out
side bankers to gain control Of q
majority Of the stock OF the CONNER
ciaI National Bank, a large share OF
which is now held by Frank p. Har-
mon.
ORicials at the Commercial Nation
al Bank today were unable to give
the details OF the deal, which, it is
expected, will be concluded in the
near future, but it was said that the
new interests, composed chiefly OF
local men and some New York and
Boston bankers, were negotiating to
obtain 81 per cent Of the stock Of the
company.
Mr.. Harmon is now in Kentucky
but will return to this city the middle
OF next week.
Statistics OF small loans made by
persons in 1O4 cities in the United
States during August show that bOr-
rowing in small amounts has increased
since the corresponding month last
wear. Loans on the Morris Plan for
August. 1919, throughout the country
were S32,OOO,OOO, as compared with
S23OOO,OOO for the same month IN
1918.

yon said today.
Senators were astounded at the
Isolation OF foreigners in the steel
districts. Thy visited districts where
the English language scarcely is un-
derstood. Repeatedly interpreters had
to be obtained before the Senators
could converse with strikers.
Throughout the steel mills danger
signs were printed in five languages.
PrOclamations were printed in Varl-
Gus tongues, Senators observed.
I'VE have got to have Americani-
zation Of these people," Senator Ken
Won declared today. ITS the one
thing we can all rally around. We
have got to surround these men with
good Influences and teach them our
Ideals and our language. It is the
one hope.
II have been after ammunition on
this trip and I certainly have it. in
abundance"
Plans are being made to carry the
steel strike investigation to Gary,
Ind. Several members OF the com
mittee feel the situation there is
more acute than here, so far as the
disorders and bloodshed are con-
cerned.
No efforts are being. made to bring
the opposing sides together, Judge
Gary having refused to arbitrate. The
committee Is sticking closely to the
job Of finding out the facts about
the strike.

was expected 20 join the committee
here today. Both today and tomor-

The committee had intended to visit
Youngstown, Ohio, after the hearings
here, but a telegram recalling the
