BANKS HIT At
OVERDRAF IS
BY RICHARD HATTON

q q
/ For some time the custom has
been growing throughout the coun-
try of charging bank depcsitors a
small amount when their balances
fall below a figure that makes
them profitable accounts TO the
bank. That there is ample warrant
for this charge has been demon.
strated time and time again py
financial writers as well as by bank
ei-s. and those who have studied and
analyzed the banking business.
In the fewcst possible words, the
practice is merely good business.
gOn this page today the District
Of Columbia Bankers Association
calls attention to another feature Of
EVERYDAY banking which Is most ap-
appropriate and which is somewhat
similar to the short balance check
ing account. This is the matter or
0verdrafts.
THE average bank customer would
be surprised to learn Of the great
number of checks that pass through
the clearing house Of Washington

upon which they are drawn Not

ma attached to the bank CT deposit.
when it refused to cash one of
these checks. 1t is unpleasant, OF
course, for bank to be Obliged
to refuse to honor the draft OF q
customer. On the other hand. there
is no other course, open to. the bank
official who refuses to honor such
an oyerdraft.

The firm OF Chadbourne, Stanch-

Mr.. Schlesinger, in making the
announcement yesterday OF the
opening of the Paris office, said:
Since the war the United States
has become the financial center of
the world; American capital will
more and more seek an outlet in
foreign countries; American manu-.
faeturers will extend their activities

veys: the total number of employees on
each payroll, and the total amount Of
wages paid in the monthly payroll
period The industries from which it
is proposed to collect the data are
manufacturing, mining and quarrying,
communication, building construction,
wholesale trade, retail trade, logging
and lumber work, and agriculture.
If the plan advocated is carried out,
the committee says, information will
be available for business men, bank
ers, and social agencies which will
show each month for every important
industry, for every state, and for
every important community and in
dustrial area, whether the number on
the payrolls and the total wages paid
are less or greater than in the proceed
ing month, in the preceding year, and
at other periods significant for COM
parison.
The business failures and suffering
among wage-earners in 1921 resulted
in directing attention to the POSSIBLE
ity of preventing unemployment by
lessening the fluctuations in business
known as the business cycle, the COM
mittee points out. The chief factor in
the control of business has been found
in the control Of credit by the Federal
Reserve System.
