Extent OF Chains

Accurate figures are not avail
able, but there are probably less
than 10 chain banking groups In
Michigan and only small banks
are involved. Since branch
banking was legalized, that sys-
tenn has proven far superior and
more satisfactory To depositors
and shareholders than chain
banking. Unless branch banking
IL restricted, chain banking will
probably remain Of no Conse-

occasions stated that the industry

Icially since rising military pro-

dicates that time may be on the
side OF the democracies.
On the other hand, if the war
is fought indefinitely until there

Lower profit margins for auto

cars and trucks are forecast by
actual and potential advances in
production and other costs.

Wage Policy Puts Weir ON Spot
Didn't Even Attend
OPM's Conference
Held Last Week

His employees, he said, had not
had q general wage increase in
four years and were entitled to
one.
I'VE felt that 10 cents an hour
was the proper figure In view OF
the Improvement In the indus
try's earnings. We felt that the
men should share in that i'm
provement."
He took the bull by the horns
and went further by announcing
that he could not vision amy wild
imitation developing out of such
increases" To further justify his
stand. he suggested that second
quarter profit reports OF steel
companies should be analysed be-
fore any move was made 10
advance prices-an unheard OF
suggestion in industry circles.
The thought has also been ad-
|vanced that Weir put the admin
Iistration on the spo. with his
increases.
Anyway, the fact remains that
last week when scores Of steel
Executives met In New York al
the request Of OPM TO discuss
its demand for a 100000 ton
increase in steel output, Weir was
conspicuous by his absence.
