MANY CHILDREN
WORK DURING ~

The number OF children granted
certificates permitting them to work
in Industrial plants in this city dur
ing 1922 is double that of 1921. &C
cording TO the Labor Commission OF
Delaware. Most OF the child workers
are between the ages of Ia and is
years. and the larger proportion are
girls.
This latter fact is attributed 20
the fact that plants requiring sirl
helpers have been busier for a
larger part Of the year than those
where boys are wanted. Another
reason is that the vocational training
school at the High School. has at
tracted many boys who otherwise
would go TO work.

NEORE than eleven thousand men and
L'a women from the counting rooms OF
the nation attended the forty-eighth
annual convention of the American
Bankers Association here last week.
The hugeness of the attendance was
far beyond all precedent and was SO
per cent more than expected, why
the great pilgrimage to this Mecca OF
finance?
The mere fact that the meeting place
was New York lured hundreds who
hitherto had been sdamant to invita-
tons to attend A. B. A. conventions IN
other cities. Whitehead interest IN
putting the association on record
against the spread of branch banking
brought many to the great informa.
parliament who otherwise would have
stayed away.
Al, intense curiosity regarding fn-
ture trade and credit conditions also
motivated some. This extraordinary
thirst for information is reflected in
sether ways. such as the coming OF m
precedentedly large hordes of buyers
this year In quest not merely of fner-
chandise but of information regarding
conditions.

I thought that debt was owed to the
government. The sheep growers con-
vention might just as we'll pass reso-
lutions on the subject. Mr.. Lamont

final answer, asked you men to think

Another extremely important though
less spectacular bankers convention

Association will hold it's eleventh am

tributors. Infinitely smaller In num-
bers than the other association, the

high in influence. The program In

MIR. McKenna presented an analvsis
OF the ability of various nations to

concluded that, excepting England,
which had an accumulated reserve of
foreign assets amounting to between
@2,o0o,o0O,000 and 23 1000 900 900, no ma
tion could meet them under peace

Tort on the part of any such nation to

ment was that debts arising from the
unnatural stimulation of demand and
consumption of the war could not be
met except under like conditions.

alabama Power Go. Plan

The Alabama Power Company, under
it's offer, proposes to take out license
under the Federal water power act and
complete the hydro-electric plant at its
own expense for an initial production
Of 100000 horsepower. 1t proposes to
furnish free to the government, or any
one designated by the government
100000 horsepower for the production
of fertilizer and munitions of war.
The Engstrum proposal is to lease
Muscle Shoals and all the government
property at that point and use the two
available nitrate plants for the manu-
facture of fertilizer, which would be
sold to farmers at price and under
conditions to be determined by the
Secretary OF Agriculture.
The alternative proposal of govern
ment operation contemplates the de-
ve!opment of the water power and the
manufacture of fertilizer if it. were
deemed advisable, with the mainte-
nance of the plants in state of pre-
paredness for the manufacture of ex-
piosives in time of war; 1t is assumed
that surplus power would be sold to
private consumers.
The South objects to government op-
Grafton or operation under government
supervision because it does not be-
lieve it would be efficient.
1t is contended that the Ford offer is
the only bona fide proposal to make the
most Of the opportunities.
Much has been written about Muscle
Shoals, but it has been devoted chiefly
to consideration of its possibilities
for the production Of nitrates and
munitions, and little attention has
been given to answering the natural
questions about what, where and why.
The government has expended $780,
100000 at Muscle Shoals, of which
S65,0o0 600 went for nitrate plant No.
2; $13.ooO,000 for nitrate plant No. /,
and $l7,000,000 for the Wilson dam.

Group Discussions

Of even greater moment than the dis
cussions on the floor of the conven~
tion were the talks between bankers
at the many private dinner and lunch
con conferences during the week, where
half dozen men would gather and get
down to cases. Invariably, the conver-
sations would be brought to the sub
ject of international debts and these
exchanges unquestionably were of vast
educational value, not only in giving
the visitors the New York viewpoint
but in acquaipting local fnanciers with
thought outside this district.
No consensus YVES established but
there was a closer approach to this
than uron any previous occasion when
an effort has been made to come to
come solution of the problems involved.
Roughly, three years ago. upon invita-
tion o. a committee Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, of which
James S. Alexander, president of the
National Bank of Commerce, was chair-
man, the heads Of the fifty largest
banking institutions in the country met
at Atlantic City, commissions repre-
senting the various debtor nations,
Each commission was interviewed in
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08
Could Leare Businesses

There Is one further aspect Of the
record attendance that cannot we'll be
overlooked. However much, for one
reason or another, bankers might have
desired to come here, they could not
have done so unless their business was
in such shape that they could leave it
and be satisfied. In many of the
smaller banks single official prac-
tically dominates and directs the
entire machinery. His responsibility
prohibits his taking an extended vaca-
tion from his duties unless everything
is running smoothly. The fact that he
was here in legion would seem to point
to the. prevalence throughout the ma
tion of better times.
The committees task In handling
TINS huge crowd, admirably managed,
was rendered the more difficult by the
inevitable effort of many to draw into
the activities of convention week their
New York friends. John Smith, from
Idaho Immediately upon his arrival
here, got IN touch with his friends and
relatives. His wife did likewise. IN
stead of being satisfied with the two
theater tickets to which thew we're en-. m
tied or to the two admissions to the
ball, they wanted four or six or eight,
ana used every means within their
power to get them. The registration
total was 1000. In fact, the commit
tee had to deal with a crowd almost
twice that number.
What was said at the convention,
who spoke, and what reception their
remarks received have already become
matters of public information through
the medium of the press, which in rec.
ognition Of the news value of the
crowd and of the Importance of the
topics before the meeting gave many
columns OF their space to report Of
the proceedings: 1t is only necessary
here to give order and co-ordinate fhe
principal developments of the discus.
sions and by Interpretation to furnish
some measure of their significance. SO
far as this can be discerned with this
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08
Europe's Progress

Meanwhile, as Mr.. Krech pointed out,
Europe has made some progress to-
ward community spirit and, although
much remains to be done before her
house is in order, she has done some
thing. In the United States, the grad
ual recovery in business has empha-
sized that exports have experienced no
such recovery and that full prosperity
Is largely linked with winning back
IN foreign markets greater part of
the trade gained during the war; On
both sides, conditions have been moy-
ing toward cooperation between the
United States and Europe and it is
this fact that was so Significantly set
forth at the bankers meeting. Whether
the time has come when that co-opera-
tion is entirely feasible is uncertain;
at least there has been measurable
approach to it.
As international debts furnished the
chief matter, of deliberation, branch
banking supplied the main matter Of
controversy before the convention. Out
in st. Louis, the First National Bank
has opened an office" This is it's
method cf creating branch without
specific authorization by the national
banking laws and in the face of a
general interpretation of those laws
as denying the right OF national bank
to open branches. Other banks in
other sections of the country have
attained the same end in this or other
ways but this particular action has be-
come the center of q battle in the
courts of law and has aroused storm
of criticism by the country and state
! Aankers.
The situation briefly is that in more
kan thirty states, banks operating
under state charter are allowed speci-
iically or tacitly to open and operate
branches. National banks, in seeking
to compete with them in this develop
ment, may open and have opened
branches only by resort to what they
admit are legal evasions of the law
Limitation of branches to the city in
which the bank has its headquarters
is quite general.
The national banks have for some
years been endeavoring to obtain equal
rights with state banks in respect to
branches. State banks have opposed
the grant Of such rights and to date
the question has not advanced beyond
bills pending in Congress
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08

system which has for years existed in
this country.
After heated debate on the conven-
ton moor, the association placed itself
on record as opposed to branch bank
ing In any form, by state or national
banks, This was hailed as a victory
by the anti-branch bankers, but there
was nothing to indicate that the fight
nad really been won or lost. Waldo
Newcomer, speaking against the reso-
luton, argued that, il the delegates
really, regarded branch banking as un-
sound, they should go further and re-
ouire resignation from membership in
the association of any bank which in
sisted on maintaining branches.
MI Newcomers challenge was not
answered and it was clear that just as
The state banks WI continue to oper-
ate branches. - national banks will
go ahead with their purpose of attain
ing an equal competitive basis. The
resolution closed the debate for this
convention, The threatened split in
the association was avoided by com
promise. The conflict, however, is far
/ from over.
The association, which was unani.
nous in its praise Of the Federal Re-
serve system, did not support the svs-
lynn noNoeaeS vi uHiVerSal par cOilec'
tion Of checks. Rather, it registered
the opinion that the collection of 8
charge should be left optional with the
individual bank.
Aside from the discussions of the
labor problem, amazingly little interes
was aroused by the testimony pre-
sented on the domestic business anC
industrial situation. Speakers were
agreed that recovery was proceeding
favorably but tempered their enthusi
asm by the prediction that without Eu
ropean rehabilitation only moderat,
prosperity could be reached at the best

To meet old friends.
To make valuable business contacts

To get fresh ideas from informal

To have their horizons widened by

To see New York and possibly to see
