Five Dollars to Be Cut From Pay

Mai. Daniel J. Donovan. city

preparation for payment of the bonus
is not sufficient to cover all employees
for the remaining two pay days of
the fiscal year.
The Commissioners. therefore, found
it necessary to cut S. from the en-

into the municipal service during the

cludes members of the police and fire

1t is the hope of the city officials
that this temporary. reduction will
make up the deficit in the appropri-
alton. but it may still be necessary
to take one or two dollars more off
the salaries of these new workers
at the end of the month.
When the new appropriations be-
come available on. July 1. these
workers will be put back to their

standing that the seals will be

law as part of the ration of each

Practice Discontinued.
Reports reaching the embassy are
to the effect that the New York
customs authorities have refused to
continue that practice, and have
notified the master of the France
that under the new regulations the
ships liquor stores must remain
sealed until she has again passed
outside the three-mile limit.
Treasury officials took the com
though they would not discuss the
situation. they indicated that the
point raised had presented one of
the most delicate questions involved
in the whole ship liquor controversy.
1t was pointed out, however. that

After a hurried conference of Gus

CHECK COLLECTION
At PAR IS UPHELD
Supreme Court Sustains Fed
eraI Reserve Rule in Vir-
ginia and Georgia.

Methods used by federal reserve
banks in Georgia and Virginia to
compel banks not members of that
system to cash at par checks drawn
upon them by their Ierositors which
reach federal reserve b1nks for col
lection or clearance were approved
by the Supreme Court today in cases
brought against the federal reserve
banks at Atlanta, Ca, and Richmond
Va.
The American Bank and Trust
Company and other banks of Georgia.
and the Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Monroe and other banks of North
Carolina contested the authority of
the federal reserve banks at Atlanta
and Richmond to require them to
cash checks drawn upon them with
out charging any commission or ex-
change for their services.
Decision in Georgia.
The federal courts in Georgia and
lthe state courts in North Carolina de-
cided that under The federal reserve
act the federal reserve banks had
annie authority 10 sustain the posi-
called country" banks, not members
of the federal reserve system. must
cash at par all checks drawn upon
them and cleared through the fed
Justice Brandeis declared in deliv-
ering the opinion, that in the North
Carolina case the law of that state
with regard to method of payment
was valid and that the state statute
was constitutional.
JuStire BrandeiS, delivering the
opinion, stated that Congress had
not imposed upon the federal reserve
banks the duty to collect all checks
at par and did not impose upon such
banks duty to introduce par clear
ance against the wishes of some of
the banks affected. Justices Van De-
vanter. and Sutherland dissented.
The effect Of the decision was to
affirm the decision of the federal
courts in Georgia and to reverse the
decision of the state courts in North
, Carolina.
Attacks Check Charge.
The right of banks to charge a
small exchange or commission for
cashing checks drawn upon them was
challenged in the Supreme Court in
cases growing out of the policy of
the Federal Reserve Board. to in

BREAD PRICES HERE
RAISED BY BAKERS
Flour Prices Drop to Near
Level Before War; Wage
Raise Given as Reason.

Two local bakeries sent the price
of bread up 1 cent per pound loaf
today. and indications point to a SIM
liar general increase throughout the
city within the next week.
Although bakeries concerned did
not comment on the increase in price,
the general explanation given is that
local bakers have been operating
on small margin of profit for some
time and that recent increases in
wages for bakers and bakery sales
men have added additional burdens
to an already mounting overhead
cost of baking.
The bakeries putting price of
cents Wholesale per pound loaf into
effect today We're Rice Schmidt and
Dorsch At the Corby bakery it was
learned unofficially that an increase
is being considered, but has actually
not yet been put into effect.
Flour Price Drops.
AS an incidental to the increase in
the cost Of bread, -four dropped about
80 cents per barrel during the last
few weeks and is beginning to hover
around a pre-war figure at s6.75 for
carload lots wholesale and from $3.50
to 1915 in small retail lots.
The increases to journeymen bak-
ers referred TO above amounted to 10
cents per bour. There are approx
mately 42e bakers in Washington, &C
cording to union officials, who re-
eefved the recent increase.
This is in addition to 200 helpers.
per day in lieu of a minimum $3 per
day. Union officials estimated from
statistics on file that the increased
wages for union men as a result of
the change in the salary scale last
month would amount TO not more
than $3.50 day at a liberal estimate.
Bakery statesmen also received an
increase in their guarantee from S25
per week to s35. They get 10 per
cent on sales, If their sales run more
than $3.50 a week they get COM
mission proportionately more. and if
under $3.50 they, get the minimum
guarantee OF $35.
that bout two hundred and fifty of
$40 bakery statesmen received a bene-
ht from the increase in the commits
sion guarantee, setting a figure OF
as the total amount the increase
would figure all over town. These
figures, added. union officials say,
show that $3.50 is the estimate
amount of additional overhead caused
by the increase In wages
The capacity of one local bakery is
figured at approximately 100000
loaves daily by officials of the
bakers union. On this basis. an in
crease of l cent per pound loaf would
bring to this single bakedy $1,000 a
day extra, which, it is pointed out,
would be sufficient to pay all Wash
ington's bakery pay increases and
leave about s120 surplus.
