12 THE BEE: OMAHA THURSDAY, MARCH 3. BANK CLEARINGS TOP ALL| Record for Tuesday is Largest Omaha | Ever Attained. | TOTAL GOES UP TO $4,204,317 Second Time the in the OCity's Career Figures Fave Fxceeded the Four M =Dol- iar Mark. Omaha eclipsed all records in bank clear- ings Tuesday by attalning the enormous total of $4,34317.0.. This s the second | time in history that the figures have been above the $4,000,000 mark, the former high | mark having been made January 2, with | something over $4,151,000. Tuesday's record i all the more remarka- ble when it i considered that the former high record of January 2 was made the day following a holiday. Banks were closed | on New Years and the clearings regis- tered on the second day of the year were virtually for two days. The figures for March 2, 1909, were $3,- 42,5834, Tuesday's figures show a gain of $TM.7BAL over the corresponding date last year. February's record for the month was $62,677,190.00, which was over $14,000,000 greater than the figures for the second month Iast year. Both records are good ones, for February had only twenty-two bunking days, deducting four Sundays and two holldays. “The pace we set on the first banking day of the year was certainly a fast one,” | commented Willlam B. Hughes, secretary | of the Omaha Clearing House assoclation. “Today, however, we have topnotched the record. It is a hard one to equal, but there 1s still time and we may even pass these figures. “Mareh s usually a good month in the banking line, as s reflected in the clear- ances, There Is considerable movement of grain and bullding material in the spring, which Inereases the circulation of money.” More Builders to Ask Increase 3:ickhyan and Carpenters Will Fol- low Plasterers, Who Get $6, as Demanded. Now carpenters and bricklayers have de- cided to ask for an Increase in wages, the increase to. apply to all jobs on which con- tracts are let In the future, but not on jobs for which the contracts are already let. Some time ago the plasterers asked for $6 a day, which was granted by the contractors. Neither the carpenters nor the bricklay- ers have as yet presented thelr demands to the contractors, but they will ask for a hearing at the meeting of the contractors to be held next Tuesday evening. Carpenters are now recelving a minimum of 45 cents an hour with a rising scale to 66 cents an hour. They will ask for a raise of 5 cents an hour. Bricklayers are now recelving 62% cents an hour and they de- clded at a meeting held Sunday afternoon to ask for 76 cents an hour, the same as ‘was accorded the plasterers. ““We don't want to have any trouble and are not saying a word about striking,'" sald H.
