consideration hlq fellow committeemen

MANUFACTURERS OPPOSE
FIREMAN LICENSE LAW
IWause the boilers, both heaw and low

city and casualty company Inspectors, the
Omaha Manufacturers' association op
Poms the proposed city ordinance reoulr.

Several organisation. Including the Heal

dlnance for some time. They went on
record on the matter at their meeting
yesterday.
The second Tuesday In January will tell
the' tale of what the national banks will
do In regard to tho new currency law,
That Is the (Into set by law for the an
nual meeting of the slockholdcrs of the
nalloiml banks. On that day the provi
sions of the currency law will be dis
cussed and each Individual national hank
will decide whether It will come under
the provisions of tho new currency law
or whether It will reorganize under a
tato charter. While most of the leading
bankers say there Is little likelihood that
many national banks will .lep under the
state banking system In orflor to avom
the provisions of tho new federal law,
they agree that this Is a matter for tho
stockholders to decide and not a matter
for either the president of the bank or
any other official to pass upon.
Local bankers admit that oil account
of the rapid changcH mudo In tho bill
tb.e last few days before It was parsed,
they are unable to say Just now what
are all the details of tho bill as finally
passed.
Must Study ChaiiKcs.
I confess," said W. H. Bucholx, vice
president of the Omaha National bank,
"that I can't say now Just what all the
bill will require ot the banks. Up to two
weeks ago I did. know. I kept track of
the provisions. At that tlmo I could ut
most say the thing backwards, but they
Shifted It eo much and hrade so many
amendments and -changes at the last that
1 have . not been ablo to keep up."
The Oraatja Rational bank haa received
a copy of the new law. This Is, perhaps,
the first official copy that has reached
Omaha. Other copies havo repeatedly
come to the city, but they have been
earlier drafts and not the draft of the
bll as It finally, passed.
Formal acceptance of the terms ot the
bill by the bankers la not necessary, ac
cording to leading; bankers, Sixty days
are given for the national hanks to ad
Just their business In accordance with
the new provisions. At the end ot that
time the banks that have not yet com
piled with the requirements are out, and
will likely have to organise under the
state basking system.
