STEPS TAKEN TO
AVOID MONEY PANIC
BANKERS SAY NEEDS OF LEGITl-
MATE BUSINESS WILL BE
PROTECTED.
20 PER CENT. CALL RATE
Will Not Finance Speculative Schemes
But Needs of Legitimate Business
Will Be Given Liberal Con-
sideration.

New York-Leading Wall Street
bankers have taken steps to prevent
the development OF a money panic Ii
was learned on excellent authority, and
confirmed in other quarters, that the
necessary understanding has been
reached at a series of informal confer
ences held in the last few days. De-
tails OF the discussions at these con-
ferences are not available, but it is
known that some of the bankers con-
cerned have talked about the matter
with William II. Remick, president Of
the New York Stock Exchange.
Call loans at the exchange were re-
newed at IT per cent, the highest re-
newal rates since January, 1908, and
at least one large lender refused to
renew loans at less than 20 per cent.
Later in the day the market rate as
cended to 20 per cent Bankers made
it clear that their new policy of pro-
viding for the essential needs OF the
stock exchange would not mean easy
money and that they would not finance
gambling operations either in securi-
ties or commodities.
However, they are acting to make
any readjustment that may take place
orderly and not excited. Commercial
organizations have been told that
their legitimate needs for bank loans
would be provided for, in spite Of any
Tightening of the reins incident to the
campaign away from over-expansion
which the federal reserve board is d.
recting.
On their own initiative the New
York bankers, it was definitely ascer
tanned will not formally revive the
money committee which was called
into existence as an adjunct to the
Liberty loan committee by the Treas
ury Department during the war. De
signed TO conserve credit in order to
make large government financing pos
sible, the money committee poth kept
the lid on the market to prevent heat
ed speculation, on the one hand, and,
acting as a money pool, kept the mar
ket from credit starvation by supply
Ing funds at fixed rate of per cent.
Unless resummoned by the govern
ment, the money committee, as such,
could not function in peace times, in
the opinion of some leading bankers, !
without violating the antitrust laws |
Some of the conferences of the last |
few days, wholly without formality, |
have been held by telephone.

TIRELY FORGOTTEN.
HITS CYAhAMID COMPANY
Wholesale Recklessness and Waste
Chareed-Scheme Evidently to
Have Government Sell the
Plant at Small Cost.

WASHINGTON Reckless extrava-
gance in the construction Of the gov
eminent nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals. Ala, was charged In report
by Col Fred H. Wagner, formerly d.
rector of operations at the plant, filed
with the House expenditure commit
tee.
The Wagner charges went deep into
detail, filling more than 100 pages and
touching on every possible phase of
the building and operation OF the $780,
100000 war project. 1t was too much
for Chairman Graham to read in a
day, but he declared the conclusions
revealed astounding conditions"
Packed away in the bulky docu.
ment, Col. Wagner related what he
alleged to be the story of Muscle
Shoals, built on the cost-plus plan with
wartime speed as the only considera-
ton. Big items were put down with
little items, running all the way from
the charge that the accounting system
was so bad no business, however, eff.
cient, could tolerate it and exist" to
the tale of the head barber in a com
pany shop who raked down SIS a day
extra for changing five times that
much money flowing into a cash reg
lister.
With the bold accusation that even
in national emergency, patriotism at
Muscle Shoals was forgotten, Col.
Wagner told how he had protested
against paying $3.50 for a portrait of
Frank S. Washburn, of New York,
president of the American Cyanamid
Company, the subsidiary of which, the
Air Nitrates Corporation, had the gov
eminent contract for the actual build
ing. The biggest chapter was written
under the caption of "extravagance,"
with waste, inefficiency and irregu-
larities placed next in that order in
the wholesale indictment that in
cluded hundreds of names.
Touching on the broad question of
extravagances, Col. Wagner declared
the Air Nitrates Corporation main
tanned a publicity bureau at the plant
that cost $4,000 a month. Referring
to the portrait incident, he said he
had protested against purchase of a |
likeness, to be nailed against the |
