STEAGALL ENDORSES
 BILL FOR STATE BANKS

Washington, February 7.--(Special. J. Representative Steagall of Alabama i'm troduced today an amendment to the act creating the federal reserve system under which nonmember banks would not be compelled to clear checks at par
 This amendment would remove the cause of the present sharp differences existing between the reserve system and the bankers of Alabama.
 In statement explaining his amend ment MT. Steagal charged that the House was moved to accept change in an original amendment to the act by the statement of Carter Glass. then chairman of the committee on banking and cur rency, that the change would not in any fashion force the state banks to clear at par. Mir. Glass subsequently, became secretary of the treasury and is now 8 senator from Virginia.
 Mir. Steagalrs contention is that devel- opments proved the House correct in it's action amending the act and MT. Glass wrong in his congratulations.
