Federal Reserve Must Await
Authority From Congress,
Says Governor.

Suspension of all building con-
struction by Federal Reserve banks
was ordered yesterday by Gov. w.
Z. G. Harding, pending action by
Congress.
A recent amendment offered by
Senator Harris, of Georgia, provide y
that the Federal Reserve Board
should be deprived of authority to
authorize construction of buildings
of any character without the con-
sent of Congress.
In a letter to Senator George p.
Mclean, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Banking and Cur
rcncy, Gov. Harding yesterday stated
that the chairman Of each Federal
Reserve bank has been ordered &c
cease all building work by the
banks until Congress has author
lied such construction.
A large amount of construction
will be halted by the order. 1t Will
halt the building of new Fedora
Reserve bank in Atlanta, Boston
Chicago. San Francisco and Mime
apolis. Gov. Harding states in his
letter that contracts have been lei
for construction of buildings FOL
the Federal Reserve banks in New
York and Cleveland which cannot
now be cancelled. and the work OF
construction must accordingly pro-
coed.
Building operations on many
br.ncb hanks of the Federal Re
serve system also will be tempo
rarily held up by the order whict
will remain in eject until Congress
specifically authorizes Resumption
| of construction.

ID. c. Blue Sunday Bill
introduced in House

An atmosphere of gloom which
lowered around the Capitol yesterday
was explained when someone dis
covered a bill lying in the hopper
the purpose of which is to create
a blue Sunday in Washington.
The bill was introduced by request
by Roy o. Fitzgerald. of Ohio. Its
purpose is to close dance halls, NOV
ing picture theaters and other places
of amusement on Sundays and would
stop all unnecessary work on that
day. The bill didn't undertake to
define unnecessary work" and no
one could be found who claimed to
be sufficiently familiar with work
to supply a definition.
Public opinion seemed to be equal
ly divided. Some claimed that no
work is unnecessary, while others
contended all work is unnecessary.
The bill should arouse considerable
interest in Congress, should it get
that far.
