BANK FEUD FLARES
ANEW IN CONGRESS
SteagalI, Defending State
System, to Find His
Support Lessened.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The old congressional feud over the
idea of forcing all State banks into
the Federal Reserve System is being
renewed and shows signs of causing
more fireworks than ever.
On the one side are Senator Glass,
Democrat, of Virginia and his follow
ers, who believe the State banks should
join the system; on the other are
Chairman Steagall Of the House Bank
ing Committee and his adherents, who
contend an independent State banking
system is essential
The issue is wrapped up in the
omnibus banking bill now being
studied by Steagall's committee. One
section provides that no State bank
may be allowed Federal deposit insur-
ance after July !, 1887, unless it be-
longs to the Federal Reserve System.
Steagall, it was learned today, in
tends to move to strike the stipulation
from the bill. That would leave the
door open indefinitely for State banks
to obtain deposit insurance. But for
the first time since the dispute started
Steagall finds a considerable number
of his own committee members siding
with Glass
Consequently it was said. when
Steagall proposes to delete the sec
ton, other committeeman will sug-
gest that the effective date be moved
up a year from July /, 1887, to July
/, 1896.
Glass and Steagall for years have
fought over the issue. In each of the
last few Congresses they have closed
the sessions with bitter dispute. And
all Glass has been able to achieve so
lar has been future requirement Of
reserve membership for State banks.
In fact, last Congress Steagall won
a point by forcing through in the
closing days a bill postponing from
1886 to 1887 the requirement that
State banks may not have insurance
unless they join the Federal Reserve
system. But the House Banking
Committee was with him then.
The committee resumed work on
the bill today, with another move de-
Veloplng to create a Federal none
tary authority with control over the
issuance of all money.
