OFFICIALS OF THE
NATIONAL BANKS
ORDERED TO TELL
AMOUNT OF SALARY

New York, Feb. 26.--Keen interest
was evinced in Wall Street in the or
der of the comptroller OF the currency
calling for a report on salaries OF
national bank officials, in connec-
tion with the last national ank call
issued.
Such n report, it was pointed out,
would mean the making public Of
the great range Of bank officials sal
aries as the law requires that bank
statements in response to the comp
trollers' call must be published Some
bankers were reported to be seeking
legal advice as To whether the or
der which was said to be unprecedent-
Cd could be enforced.
These bankers were quoted as hold
ing that publication of such informa-
ton would be the source Of invidious
comparison among banks and might
cause unjust reflections. Information
as to the salaries heretofore has been
furnished to the comptroller privately
by bank examiners.
The comptroller, in his recent
annual report, criticised inequalities,
of bank officials salaries and express
ed the opinion that bank stockholders
should be informed as to salaries paid
to executives.
1t is the general opinion of local
bankers that the above ruling will
have to be complied with, and any
statement published without the infor-
nation asked for will have to be re-
published.
Some seem 10 think that the ruling
is arbitrary and question its legality.
