BAL TIM0RE BANKS SHOW
BIG HALF-YEAR PROFITS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. July 18-Local banks
as a. group realized one of their most
profitable half years in the six months
ended June 80, 1t Is estimated by those
who follow the trend Of banking in this
city.
High rates for money and big profits
accruing from other banking lines &C.
count for the favorable showing of the
institutions for the half-year period.
Observers believe the record for the
second six months will SurpasS that of
the first half of the year.
Some local banks already have IN
creased dividends, and it is expected
that others will raise disbursements
among shareholders before the end Of
the year. Savings banks as well as
national and State institutions have
shared in the larger earning power de-
spite the shrinkage in market value of
some of their investment holdings.
AS result of their stronger position
most savings banks In this city have in
creased the interest rate on savings
accounts.

These objections established the early
impression that the chances OF getting
the commissions approval for the plan
were rather dubious. Still, the very de-
lay to decide is now held up as pretty
good evidence that portion at least OF
the commission membership would like
to see the plan go through or are not
willing to allow its immediate rejec-
ton.
AS preliminary to presenting the
plan to the commission asserting stock

Cne accompaniment of the high state
of American industrial activity is the
increasing import of human technical
skill. That comes directly under obser-
vation of Government offices, since the
hiring abroad of foreigners for employ
ment in the United States is a tech
nical infraction of the immigration
laws, which ban import of contract
laborers. The statute provides, how
ever, for q waiver of the contract labor
clause in the case of highly and par
ticularly skilled artlzanS and profess
sional people.
There seems to be a very definite
connection between the numbers of re-
quests we get to allow the hiring abroad
by American enterprises of such people
and the state of business" remarked
Harry E. Hull, Commissioner General OF
immigration, who considers the requests
and allows the permissions. Right now
the number going through is rather
large. possibly about 100 a month.

scientists, in the main. Then we are
getting a steady stream Of applications
for men who intend to come here to In
stall machinery and appliances, and re-
main for only brief periods, while they
teach personnel already here to con-
duct the operations.
Each application for permission to
hire these specialists abroad is conS1d-
cred on It's merits and investigated suf-
ficiently to make sure that they belong
to recognized learned professions, OF
that their specialized skill cannot readi-
ly be duplicated here"
About the next important financial
