he adds, ''It is the amount of credit
rather than the form which cred
1t takes that really counts as a fac
tor influencing business and prices"
Platt notes the original expectation
that the federal reserve banks in the
agricultural districts would be able
to support themselves through loans
to their member banks and continues:
But it is precisely these federal re-
serve banks which do not support
themselves by their own Independent
operations, and l suppose it is no Sc
cret that nearly half of the II feder-
al reserve banks today are primarily
supported by the proceeds of bills or
bankers acceptances and shOrt-term
government securities, mostly pur-
chased in the New York market by
the federal reserve bank of New York
and allOcated to them somewhat in
proportion to their need"
Platt points to the fact that loans
by the New York federal reserve
bank to single great commercial
bank may be larger than the COM
bined loans of the Dallas, Kansas
City, Minneapolis and st. Louis re-
serve banks to all their. member
banks.
''The problems in New York. he
adds, "are those of a real central
bank concerned not only with the rate
of interest of the open money mar
ket, but with International rates and
with the money markets of other fin
anclal centers such as London, Paris
Berlin and Amsterdam. The officers
of the federal reserve bank of New

Federal Reserve Insider Blurts
Truth of Hold Up

The federal reserve, sold to the
American public as a decentralized
banking system, really placed con-
troll of the country's economic life
more completely in the hands of New
York bankers. This is revealed in an
article for the journal of the Ameri-
can bankers association by Edmund
Platt.
Platt, as republican member of
congress was active in the passage
of the act and as vice governor Of the
federal reserve board has been active
in its administration He admits that
the decentralization feature was a
gold brick and that the outlying
banks, particularly in the farm sec
tions, are not central banks but exist
by grace of New York.
Following the panic of 1907 Ameri-
cas- money lords determined to have
a central banking system with con
troll over the money supply. They
spent more than $1,000,000 on propa-
ganda to create a popular demand for
the legislation. But popular opposi-
tion to handing the country over
body and soul to New York forced a
modification of their plan to include
establishment of IL socalled central
banks located at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta,
Cleveland, Chicago, st. Louis, Mime
apolis, Kansas City, Dallas and San
Francisco.
Now it is authoritatively admitted
that New York stands out as the
dominant banking center of the coun-
try with Boston, Philadelphia, and
Chicago playing the chief subsidiary
roles, practically branches of the all
powerful institution.
'SThe tendency in recent years."
says Platt, 'has been to exercise
such control of credit as seems ad-
visable by changing the rates at the
New York federal reserve bank,
sometimes with changes also at
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland and
Chicago, without change of rates

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By LAURENCE TODD. Federated Press

Washington - (FP) - Pres. VIM.
Green and lesser officials of the
American Federation of Labor saw
no occasion for comment on the state
ment by Pres. Coolidge in his speech
at Hammond, Ind, that "there is a
considerable class of unskilled work
ers who have not come into full par
tlcipation in the wealth of the ma
tion."
If Coolidge meant by that vague
phrase that he favors higher wages,
his conversion stands in glaring con-
trast to his record during the past
four years in opposing and often de-
feating the demands for many groups
Of low-paid workers for a better
standard of life. His fight against a
living wage for the postoffice en-
ployes was finally overcome by con-
gress. He has blocked raises in pay
IN the navy yards and arsenals and
In many other branches of the public
service where large numbers of the
workers in the lower grades were in
volved.
He has been more generous in in
stances where the pay was that of a
general, admiral or judge.

ers are pieceworkers.
The range of earnings in the hos
iery industry is very very wide. At
the bottom are female inspectors av-
eraging 292c an hour and $15.36 a

footers on fullfashioned hosiery aver
aging $1.51 an hour and $77.06 a
week. But only 696 of the $4,000
workers covered by the report re-
ceived these high rates.
In underwear mills the range is
from Este an hour and S14.24 a week
for female press hands to Tic and
S33.78 for male mechanic fixers.
The report covers hosiery and knit
goods mills in 18 states.

The report for April l of this year
is the only one strictly comparable
with the earlier quarterly reports.
The 27.436 unemployed on that date
compares with an average of 289o un-
employed at the close of the quarter
ending March 81 in previous years. In
only 8 of the 16 years was unemploy-
ment at the end of the first quarter
so large as this year. The proper
ton of organized building trades
workers unemployed in Massachu-
setts is nearly twice as large this
year as in 1928.
The report shows the greatest a
mount of building trades unemploy-
ment in such manufacturing cities as
Fall River, Holyoke, Lowell and
New Bedford, inhabited almost en-
tirely by lowpaid wage eaners. In
wealthy suburbs like Newton building
is going on merrily.

llE According to his expressed beliefs the
law should be strictly enforced, and those
dlsrespectful writers, publishers, soap
box orators, who sneer at it should be
sternly dealt with.
Like all of his class Mr.. Sargent fav-
ors law enforcement in the abstract: but
concretely he enforces it against only
those whom it is designed to hold in SUBJ
jection-the workers.
Certainly he cannot expect intelligent
workers to have any respect for a gov
ernment or code of laws that permit the
Daughertys, the Denbys, the Falls, the
Roosevelts and others of the Teapot Dome
emnences, to remain at liberty, while in

Warren X. Billings and hundreds of other
workers rot in the foul prisons of this

cessful organizers of the working class.

available to prove that the so-called i'm
partial majesty of the law is an empty
