2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1933 BANKING STRUCTURE IS REPORTED T0 BE __ BACK TO NORMALCY Records Show Most Institutions Now Operating on Un- restricted Basis (Copyright 1933 by Associated Press) Washington, Aug. 16.—(#)—The American banking structure is virt- ually back on its feet. The records of Walter J. Cummings, executive assistant to the secretary of the treasury, show 13,951 licensed banks operating without restrictions and only 2,870 closed or-eperating on @ restricted basis. These figures in- clude national banks and state mem- bers and non-members of the feder- al reserve system but exclude mutual savings institutions. ‘The record is as of the close of busi- ness August 12 for member institu- tions and as of July 26 for non-mem- TS. Cummings, brought to Washington ‘by Secretary Woodin and regaled ‘with the official title of “bank open- er,” said that on August 12, there ‘were 4,961 national banks doing an unrestricted banking business, with deposits of $16,938,145,000; that 740 state member banks with deposits of $9,741,987,000, and 8,250 non-members having deposits of $5,057,596,000 were operating on a full-time basis on July 26. ‘The deposits are as of December 31, 1932, as there has been no assembled condition report of banks since that e. On the inactive side, it was found that on August 12 there were yet closed or operating on a restricted basis 909 national banks having de- Posits of $954,304,000; 95 state mem- ber institutions, with deposits of $204,- 134,000; and 1,866 non-member insti- tutions, exclusive of mutual savings banks, with deposits of $1,005,365,000. ‘The composite picture shows de- Posits in open banks of $31,737,728,000, while a total of $2,163,803,000 was tied up in closed or restricted banks. Of the 909 national banks still closed or unlicensed, 317 have receiv- ed the official “O. K.” of the treasury and are raising money provided in ap- proved reorganization plans. This will involve the release of $400,000,000 more in deposits. Taylor Was Printer And Is Proud of It J..C. Taylor, manager of the In- ternational Harvester Company, and state director of the National Reem- Ployment Service, was a printer in his younger days and is proud of it. Moreover, he set type left handed and had in his possession for many years the stick that was presented to him when he quit the business back in Grenville, Ill., which was nickel plat- ed_and had his name engraved on it. .. Taylor set type by hand on a week- ly newspaper, pulled the handle of a ‘Washington handpress, rushed “the growler” for the editor and learned the trade in the good old fashioned way. He worked at the trade for three years and quit when his parents | refused to let him take a job in Lake Charles, La., as he was only 17 years of age at the time. “If I had taken that job I would probably be a printer still,” he said when telling his exper- iences to a Tribune reporter. The bane of his existence as a Printer was the time copy handed out by the editor on Saturday afternoon when he had got all cleaned up and wanted to take the afternoon off. “That editor would clip a couple of columns from the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch that was set in 6 point and hand it to me to set for filler. I often wished that I could some day be boss and have him work for me. I’d have made him sick of that six point type. “When I quit I made a good job of it,” Taylor said, “for I don't believe I have ever been in a composing room. since. I still believe I can set type though and if you have a left handed Stick at the office and the sheet is stuck call me up and I'll show you how it used to be done.” CONTINUED Page one- Police Searching Wisconsin Forest In Kidnaper Hunt federal authorities, efforts of 300 sel- ected possemen from city, suburban|&' and state's attorney's forces, with a wireless squad car directing and air- Planes soaring over the scene, went for naught Tuesday as two members of a gang which sought a further $50,- 000 ransom installment from John Factor, recently abducted market speculator, careened away in a burst of gun fire. The suspects escaped with a pack- age representing final payment for Factor’s release, but authorities had @ sedan, abandoned by their quar- ties, two men in detention who claim- ed they were hikers, and six others seized in a saloon as a result of clues ‘uncovered in the pursuit.

Name Criminals Sought Police reports indicated Richard (Yuma) Philips, known here as -an underworld go-between; Vernon Mil- Jer, one of the notorious Harvey Bailey gang of Texas; Tommy Touhy, broth- er of Roger Touhy, held for the kid- naping of William Hamm, Jr., St. Paul brewer; and George Keily, said by authorities to be wanted in the Urschel kidnaping case in Oklahoma were the parties for whom the trap was laid. This information was re- garded as possibly linking closely the various gangs responsible for major kidnapings in the middle and far west of the past year.

CONTINUE from page one: Codes Planned for Titans of Industry A hope that steel’s turmoil over the question of company unions could be immediately dissipated exploded Tues- day in a charge by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, that industry leaders walk- ed out of a conference with recovery officials because of his presence. With Taylor and Schwab President Roosevelt moved for a decision in the dispute in a confer- ence Wednesday with Myron Taylor and Charles M. Schwab—the leaders of the steel business. Taylor, chairman of the board of the U. S. Steel Corporation, and Schwab, chairman of the Bethlenem Steel Cor- poration, arrived at the white house as the president’s industrial admin- istrators were striving to bring the steel industry to a settlement on its proposed charter for shorter working hours and higher wages. Roosevelt declined to comment on » but there appears little doubt he is ready to speak his mind and to find a solu- tion of the difficulties in the way of an agreement. Further revision of a trade code for the oil industry to provide strong machinery for federal regulation of production and supervision over prices was under way Wednesday between President Roosevelt, Johnson, and other officials. Plan Minimum Prices ‘The new proposal calls for provis- jons under which minimum prices could be established for crude petro- leum and its products and maximum Prices for gasoline, lubricating oil and othér products when sold at retail, with their ratio to each other to be recommended, but disclosed the code would not in itself set down the exact figures to be followed, but would grant to a federal agency the power to recom- mend minimum and maximum prices with authority to act if the industry fails to cooperate. The NRA and administration were Tepresented Wednesday as wanting the industry to keep its house in or- der, but that should it fail to do so, the government would have power to Prevent disastrous price-slashing wars or other unfair price tactics in the Production end and to prevent ex- orbitant retail prices. Meanwhile the oil men were sum- ™moned by Johnson to receive from him Thursday the administration’s views on the code.
