suit brought by a number of North
Carolina banks and trust companies
for permanent injunction restrain
ing the Richmond ederal reserve
bank for dishonoring checks drawn
upon them for which a clearance fee
is charged opened today in Union
County Superior Court in Monroe.
A temporary Injunction was grant
ed by the Court last spring after the
reserve bank had insisted upon clear
ance of checks at par despite the
act of the legislature ordering State
banks to charge a clearance fee The
reserve bank following passage of
the act pointed out it did not require
state banks to charge exchange on
checks but merely permitted them to
do so, and such was in opposition to
the reserve system.

Chinese tariff treaties. In both cases
the action was unanimous.
The committee acted virtually with

garding the proposed Chinese provf-
sion had been made by Senator Un-
derwood of Alabama, head of the

pact, the naval limitation treaty, the
submarine and poison gas treaty and
the two treaties favorably acted on
today was prepared for submission to

APPROVES RESERVATION

Washington, Feb. 27.-White
House callers who have talked with
President Harding on the four power
Pacific situation gained the impress
sion that Mr.. Harding having as
sented to the pending reservation to
the pact, intends to take no further
hands in matter of ratification.
The President was represented by
callers to believe that while no re-
servations to the four power treaty
are necessary the one reported IA
vorably by senate foreign relations
committee is agreeable in interest of
speedy ratification.
Some senate Republican leaders
who describing the treaty situation in
the senate itself as still somewhat
nebulous, believe that the four power
pact will be ratified without more
than six Republicans voting against
it. These leaders said at least Il
Democrats are counted on to vote for
the treaty.
