the officer but another customer like

" threw his coat back and the light
hit his badge they departed without
ceremony.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 2,-Talks
with scores of bankers from all parts
of the country, attending the Ameri-
can Bankers Associations annual
convention. bring out these facts:
Agricultural conditions, except in
certain Southern sections, are either
good or excellent.
Business in most places is satisfac-
tory but not unusually active.
The coal industry has been unbal-
anced for a long time by high wages
in union and low wages in non-union
territories.
Labor is well employed nearly
everywhere but with n balance of
workers, not jobs.
Banking sentiment is nationally
cheerful but there is widespread frown-
ing upon painting unwarrantedly rosy
pictures and tanning unduly exuber-
ant expectations.
LITTLE BOOM TALK.
Boom talk is Mt most unheard
ameng bankers themselves.
The only initiation in this country
is in the stock market" is the tenor
of more than one comment.
From all directions come unouali-
fled statements that radicalism is on
the wane. Satisfaction. by the way
is expressed over the reputation of
Communists and Communism by or
ganized British labor.
The Lion" of the convention is the
dean of American bankers, George +.
Baker. He and his son. however.
keep strictly out Of the limelght. Mr..
Baker was in his prime when the
American Bankers Association was
organized 80 years ago. He was one
of its most active founders and orig
inal treasurer.
