Scores Unfair" Salaries
Of Bank Tellers

Editor, Times:
For some unknown reason
there Is a tradition existent in
the United States that bank
clerks must be poorly paid. Re
gardless of how far a man goes
in banking, there seems to be
an unwritten law that his
salary remain small. Although
I have no personal interest in
the matter, my paltry income
being derived from another
source, I see no reason for
this. Surely the responsibilities
of banking require as much
native intelligence and personal
diligence as selling vacuum
cleaners, preaching, or driving
a truck.
Even the president Of a bank,
unless he be a determined and
steadfast embezzler, rarely at
tains an income commensurate
with his responsibilities. His
salary COkupdACO w OAAO ~ SAAAAS
incomes of bootleggers or col
lege football players, seems so
trivial as to be unworthy OF
mentioning in the same breath.
Even among the employees OF
different banks, there are wide
discrepancies. For example,
here in washington, runner in
a bank located in the neighbor'
hood Of Fifteenth and Penn
sylvania Avenue amasses more
money than a teller in a bank
located on lower Seventh
Street. Obviously, If there
should be any variation, the
pendulum should swing IN
favor of the Seventh Street
