BRANCH BANKS
OPPOSED BY
j. s. GROUP
Joint Congressional Commit
tee Also Regards With Sus-
picion Teller Window System.

Branch banking by national banks
is not favored by members Of the
Congressional Banking and Cur
rency committee it became evident
today during the investigation by a
joint committee into reasons why
moro state banks and trust COM
panies do not join the Federal Re-
serve system.
The committeeman are not pre-
pared to endorse the substitute plan
Of teller windows. maintained at
various points by national banks for
receipt of deposist and cashing of
checks. The suggestion of Paul M.
Warburg, Of New York. that such
teller windows could transact a
great volume of banking business
by use Of telephone. despite re-
strictions. aroused suspicion among
those hostile to branch banks.
Oscar Wells, OF Birmingha m,
Ala, stated one Of the reasons why
State and county banks did not
join the Federal Reserve system
was fear Of losing their individual
ity and in becoming practically If
not actually branch banks.
Neither Federal nor State bankers
who have appeared before th0Tinves-
tigating committee have indorsed
fully q branch banking system for
the national banks. Some Of these
bankers. opposing teller windows.
have advocated branch banks for
great city banks in their home city,
but not outside that city, and then
only when the State laws permit
State banking institutions to con-
duct branch banks. A delegation
from the United States Chamber
OF Commerce today criticized the
Federal Reserve law and its admin
istration before the committee.

L0ADINGS
SMASH ILL
RECORDS
Week Ending September %,
Greatest il History, Said to
lndicate Prosperity.

Indications Of return Of general
business prosperity all over the
country were seen today in 4 re-
port from the American Railway
Association that Tor the week end
ing September ~, car loadings with
revenue freight Were the greatest
in history.
The total Of 1887 ,2T4 car load,
ings exceeded by 4,7O7 the previous
high record established during the
first week Of September this year
when the aggregate was 1,Os2. 5s7
cars.
Previous to this year the record
was 1.018.539 cars. which was
reached during the week OF October
15s 1920.
Though freight loadings ordinarily
are heavier In the autumn than
during any other season OF the
year. because OF seasonal crop and
coal movements, the new record
Is indicative. Of improved business
conditions, the report pointed out,
especially as it was established dur
ing q period Of agricultural depres-
sion and q temporary s1spension Of
production In the hard coal fields.
Increases Shown.
The total for September 20 was
an Increase Of s6,sS8 cars over the
preceding week this year; an in.
crease Of 119,48s over the CORES.
bonding period last year; and q
gain Of 192, 443 over the same week
IN 1921.
All commodities except grain and
grain products, coal, coke and ore
recorded big gains in car headings
This year Even these, the report
said, showed increases over cor.
responding weeks IN the two prev.
ious seasons, but were off slightly
from other records this year
Despite the heavy traffic, the as.
sOciation reported the railroads 81
the country are amply prepared to
handle increased freight volumes
particularly farm products and coal
having more than Al, 900 surplus
freight cars In good repair and Inn
mediately available for use.
This unequaIIed performance on
the part Of the railroads. the re-
port said, twas made possible BY 8
speeding up In the movement 81
both empty and loaded cars fifty
two Class carriers Representing
about So per cent Of the total mile
age for that class Of roads, i1avinr
moved on September rs, 1913 2l
cars, the greatest number Of am
one day In history. Virtually com
plete reports show that the same
railroads on October 8 also moved
more than a million cars. -
South Has Largest.
The Southern district reported the
greatest percentage OF increase, 14.S
the Western 1876 and the Eastern
11.2.
Administration officials today at.
tached great Importance to the abil.
fly Of the carriers to handle the In.
creased volume of freight. Presi-
dent Coolidge. in his numerous con.
ferences during the past few days
with railroad presidents, has stressed
the point that carriers must be pre-
pared to meet the tall crop demands
sas one means Of alternating agrarian
distress. The Executive does not
want q repetition OF former condi-
tons when farmers have been
forced to beg for cars and often re-
quired to accept lower prices because
OF inability Of railroads to move
crops.
