Wisconsin Stacker List
CUTS 2s QUESTIONS FROM
BANKS CALI..
FROM

One of the first reforms initiated
by Comptroller of the Currency
Crissinger has been revision of
the forms on which banks Of the
country fill in their repots. The
new banks report forms have been
greatly simplifed as result of
which the banks Of the country will
be saved much clerical work in filing
their statements. The number Of
items on the form have been reduc-
ed from So to As and the number of
schedules have been reduced from
20 to IL, making total reduction Of
26 questions. This action on the
part of Comptroller Crissinger is
gratifying to bankers. They were
particularly pleased at the elimina-
ton of many of the special items re-
quired by Mr. Crissinger's predeces-
sor. One of these items which
caused nationwide agitation among
the banks was the requirement Of
Comptroller Williams, in connection
with his final call, that the banks
publish the salaries paid their Of
ficials. Many Of the banks declined
to comply with this requirement on
the ground that there was no legal
authority for it. Comptroller Cris-
singer eliminated this requirement
from the new forms.

LAKE TO SEA PLAN CALLED
PRACTICAL.

~, u
That the proposed waterway from
the Great Lakes othe Atlantic is
feasible and practicable, is the opin-
ion Of the American and Canadian
engineers Of the international Joint
Commission.
The engineers have prepared a. re-
port stating that the project can
be constructed at a lower. cost than
was first estimated. 1t has been ac-
+cepted- as a. fact that the waterway
will cost the governments iof the
United States and Canada stotal Of
$3.50, 100000 forathisa important pro-
Iject. to be divided equally between
them, but while the exact amount es-
timated has not been learned it is
said to be considerablyaYless y ti,an
this. The engineers estimate that
the project can bencompleted in four
years. 1 Before work can be com,
menced, however, both the Anleri-
can Congress and the Canadian Par
lament must take the necessary leg
Eislative steps to put the recommen-
stations of the international joint
Commission into Aeefect, assuming
that the commissionsadoptes the re-
port Of the engineers. ? The report
must be submitted to the American
Congress by the end Of August, un-
der the terms Of the resolution
directing the investigation.

YEAR
SAFETY, RECORD
BARKSDALE PLANT HOLDS
~ RECORDsFOR u. s.
No Other Plant of the DUPONT
Company Has Such a Record
For Safety.--TO Celebrate
the Occasion.

On Saturday night, April 30th, at
midnight the Dupont plant at Barks-
dale, completed their first. full year
without a. major accident in any de-
partment, which means that no man
in the mploy of the company was
compelled to remain away from
work for more than one day during
that period due to an accident of
any kind.
This is the best record of any plant
of the DUPONT company in the United
States and it is doubtful if any
plant employing labor can boast of
such record, when it is taken into
consideration that the DUPONT COM
pany considers any accident q major
accident where the employee is COM
PEELED to lose more than one days
time as a result of an accident.
Naturally the boys at the DUPONT
plant are feeling as tickled as they
can be over their fine record and the
officers of the company and the men
in charge of the different depart-
ments certainly feel proud of the
men.
The Dupont employees are going
to celebrate this wonderful record
with big celebration to be held
some time during the latter part of
this month and q big time is be-
ing planned for the employees and
their wives and sweethearts. just
what the nature of this celebration
will be has not been given out but it
will be fitting for the occasion.
At the same time the miscellan-
eous department of the plant will
celebrate year record without an
accident and the Repair Department
willacalsbsats.a-.y Year without an iac-
cident.
Go to it boys, your record is fine,
and we are all proud of you. Keep
it up.
