FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS AMD THEIR
PLAN OF OPERATION
What the New Currency
Legislation, About to Be
come Effective, Will Mean
to Nation's Finances.
This dueriptlon of nhat th new FMtrsl
norv. Act meftnft and hotv tha hvnks In
rv cities k ill ha operated, was written
by a nell-knonn Phlladelphli broker and n i
RPrrovrd in the head or one of this rlt 8
largest national b,nk. The article l tlmolv
In view of the Inaugural meeting estcrday
of the board nhlrh will direct operation of
the Federal nesere Hank of t'hllidrlphla. It
Is hoped to make the nen rurrency legisla
tion ertoethe about November 1.
Primarily, this legislation wns enacted
to make hr nntlonnl rnrroney so flexible
that In times of stress, such ns ne have
at present. Instead of the financial units
of trie country trying ta .ope with the
situation Independently, the problem Is
put up to n national borlv, known as n
Federal Reserve Roard, with go em
mental authority and the sinews of war
to propprly cope with the situation.
Th AMt'icli-Vreclan.l law, which was
enacted In 1W, after the weakness of the
currency svstem was reflected by the
panic of 1007, has coped with the sltua
tlon ndmliahly. and nt present emer
gency currency Is being Issued under that
act. But there was a demand for more
comprehensive legislation which would
not only take enre of emergency cur
rency, Imt would also adjust the many
other complexities of the flmnclnl world.
Hence the prercnt act
POSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT
BOND
Up to the time of the Aldrlch-Vree-land
legislation the only security banks
wore permitted to proffer for the au
thority to Issuo bank notes were t-'nlted
States Government bonds. This tended
to make our Government securities sell
at a figure far above those of any other
nation, yet In tlnvo of need all of the
other vast assets of the banks must
needs lie Idle when they had a market
able value far In excess of any financial
necessity This was the apparent weak
ness, and th legislation referred to took
cognizance of It
The principle of halng the hanks'
notes secured by specific collateral was
retained, but the scope of the securltv
was broadened. St.itn and municipal
bonds up tn 9i per cent, of their value
and commercial paper to the ovtent of
"5 per cent, of Its value were permitted
to be used as the lals for the Issu
ance of emergency currency to the ex
tent of ".ixi.Ot-j.iW. It also provided for
the formation of currency associations
The newer plan goes still further, how
ever. It not only provides for emer
gency curreno, but also by a system
of banking controls the distribution of
funds throughout the country.
OBJECT OF NEW SVSTEM.
The now system, by reason of Its su
pervision and control by the Federal
Reserve Board nt Washington, has four
great purposes, viz.: rurnlshlng elastic
currency; affording means for the redls
countlng of commercial paper; more ef
fective supervision of tho banking sys
tem, and the Issuing of Federal reserve
notes up to full value of commercial
paper deposited as collateral. All this
is to be carried out by the establish
ment of i: banks throughout the country,
known as Federal Reserve Banks.
Inasmuch as this act is nn Innovation
and makes an abrupt departure from old
systems, a comparison would not be sat
isfactory. As the subject covers a wide
field. It Is only possible to gle the main
points of the legislation
The law provides for two departments,
the Federal Reserve Board. th control,
and the Federal Reserve Bank, the op
erator. The Federal Reserve Board consists of
seven members. Incluulng the Secretary
of the Treasury, Comptroller of the Cur
rency and Ave membors appointed by
the President.
This bonrd Is vested with full author
ity to examine the Federal reserve banks
and member banks; to permit one Fed
eral Reserve Bank to rediscount the com
mercial paper of another, to suspwnd for i
a period oi i aajs the reserve require
ments; to super ise the Issue and control
of Federal reserve notes.
NAMING THE RESERVE DISTRICTS.
The first step taken was to divide the
country Into 12 districts. In each of which
the following named cities will be the
centre and In which reserve banks are to
be. established: Boston. Now York, Phil
adelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta
Chicago. St. Louis. Minneapolis, Kansas
City. Mo.. Dallas and San Francisco.
Federal reserve banks, whose capital
will have been subscribed by the national
banks In the area represented, managed
by six directors elected by the national
banks contributing the capital and three
appointed by the Federal Board at Wash
ington, are now bn.lng organized at these
points.
The Federal Reserve Bank Is to be the
banker for national banks In Its dis
trict. A bank In Pennsylvania which
formerly kept large reserve balances tn
New York city, will now keep such fund
In the Philadelphia Reserve, Bank. The
object Is not to have money go, as at
present. In stringent periods, to points
where highest rates are paid, but to the
locality where It is most needed. Tha
Federal Reserve Board In Washington
has the power, by the provUlon permit
ting one Federal Reserve district to re
ceive depos ts from another, to transfer
funds to any point where tha stringency
Is felt more keenly than in another.
BANKS MAY REDISCQVNT PAPER.
Kaoh Federal reserve bonk is permit
ted to rediscount the commercial paper
for the banks in its district which makes
security of this class worth, not 75 per
cent, of Its value In times of crisis, but
full value, and this paper ma in turn be
used us collateral for an equal amount
of Federal reserve treasury notes, which
are to be an obligation of th United
StaUs.
Thus It is claimed that an advantage
of 36 ptr cent In value of the vast hold
ings of the banks in commercial paper
Js gained. The location of banks in the

various centres makes It possible to have
the funds of (he country quickly trans
ferred from one point to another, and
tho privilege of redlscountlng Its com
mercial paper gives the national bank
n ready means of turning its quick assets
Into cash.
There are n great number of other pos
sibilities In this legislation. One to whlrh
little Interest has been given outside of
hanking circles Is the consolidation, per
haps, of the many thousand banks and
trust company units Into one big system
welded toRt-ther under one organization
for the carrjlng out of the real bank
ing function In Its various phases.
BANKS fNDER CLOSER SUPER

Joining this system, It puis them all

the National Government, and makes the
banks' needs the Government's concern.
It Is sometimes felt that
Inflation will follow In Its
n period of
wake, as It
undoubtedly encourages tho creation of
commeiclal paper and makes this form of
Investment n very desirable otic for the
banks to make.
However, it places the sutplus funds of
the countrv tn such n position that they
can bt quickly transferred from one point
to another. No dn'iht. in the future wo

GLOVES OF ANCIENT
LINEAGE AND VARIED
IN SIGNIFICANCE
Their Manufacture a Com
plicated Industry, Highest
Development of Which
Has Been Reached in
France.
Like all other modern Industries, the
mnklhg of gloves Is very complicated,
says a writer In the Springfield Repub
lican. The completion of a single glove
requires colmldeiflble work of which the
average Individual knows little or noth
ing. Few people realize that there are 2
separate operations Involved in the man
factuilne "f one glove If we add to that
number of ti.uisactlons that ordinarily
occur between muiiufactureis and cus
tomer, 50 wounj more properly represent
the necessary steps from the raw mate
rial to the wearer of the finished product.
All tho separate operations, inorcovci.
aro enuallj Important and demand the
mo3t careful attention To emphasize that
fact, each factory holds Its emplojes re
sponsible foi ever pair of gloves han
dled. In case of Injury to the material In
any nay, the workman or workwoman Is
compelled to make good tho loss.
Examine a pair of first-class kid gloves.
Notice the embroidery, tho sewing nnd
the finishing Theio l precision nil
thiough. If you cast a glance nt the In
terior of these gloves you will be sur
prised nt the minuteness and regularity
of the stitches around the buttonholes,
for instance, ns well as those on the
"fillets ' or supports of the buttons Those
stitches are taken on the very dermis
of the skin What .patience nnd what
cleverness must the "bonds possess that
do that work! Hundreds of other details
speak In a similar wav of the wonderful
complexity of the mnklng of gloves.
FRANCE HH.M13 OF THE GLOVE
To France, more than to any other
country, Is due the honor of having made
the glove business what It now Is. The
history of the fabrication of gloves re
veals the undisputed fact that the French
have led the world In the production of
high-class cloves. It has not been easy,
how ever, for them to mnlntaln that lend,
as clrcumstaiues. which they were unable
to control, have at times worked against
them.
When did people first wear gloves? It
Is Impossible to say. We do know, how
ever, that the practice dates hack very far
Into history. In some of the Roman bas
reliefs, for Instance, certain persons nro
tcpiesented with gloves In their hands or
nttached to their sides The Greeks used
gloves, not for display but for fist fights.
Both the Greeks and the Romnns wore a.
certain kind of mitten for manual labor,
notably for the picking of olives. Again,
we may nssume that the wearing of gloves
was brought to Greece and Rome from
the Orient: for we read In the Old Testa
ment of a commercial custom of tho He
brews where gloves plavod nn Important
part ns follows: "A man removes his
gh.ve nnd gives it to his neighbor which
constitutes a testimony of exchange or
purchase In Israel."
OF ANCIENT LINEAGE.
Man has usod the glove, then, In some
way or another for at least 2l0n years.
The use was not popular, however, until
the sixth century. At that time all the
natives of Gaul, either for dress or for
work, appear to have worn gloves that
were called "ouants," or "wants " In the
Middle Ages gloves were adapted to a
great variety of necessities A distinc
tion wa then made between the ordinary
glove, the military glove, the lady's glove,
the glove of the nobility and the glove of
the liturgy. About the thirteenth cen
tury gloves came to be considered an ex
pression of elegante. A little later thev
svmbolized brlberv and Intrigue For evi
dence of this fact we have onlv to study
the woik of some of the stone artists of
that time I'm example, the artist who
d cornted with atatucs the farad, of the
cathedral of Basin represented the "Se
ducteur" as the prince of evil The wickeil

But In splto of tho fact that Rloves seem
to have acquired a bad significance, they
soon developed Into an object of luxury
nnd remained so for n long period of time
Their uso became limited to the rich, nnd
II was not until the eighteenth century
thai it wos ronsldercd good taste to put
on gloves for all occasions. Since then
the prnctlce has greatly Increased.
Whether fc show, for convenience, or
simply to protect one's hands fiom Ihn
cold, gloves are now worn by all classes
of society.
WHAT BOOMED KIP GLOVES.
Previous to the ISth century glows were
made, ns they are now, from cloth fabrics
ns welt as from skins. About ihe mlddlo
of the same century the silk glove was
tho standard type. But In 170O a peculiar
Incident happened to which the kid glove
owes Us origin and present popularity. A
celebrated physician made a sensational
discovery. He proved, nfter reasonable
experiments, that silk gloves were Inju
rious, as they dried up the skin. He pub
lished his opinions In a famous journal
nnd almost Immediately the silk glove
pntronage disappeared. The kid glove
was then resorted to and up to the ptcs
cnt has remained the standard type of
hand dress.
So fai, however, the glove Industry ns
such did not amount to much. It was not
until the year 1S1!) that the fabrication
of gloves lecelved reasonable attention
from the public. The exposition held that
ienr in France provided for an exhibition
of gloves. That date seems to Indicate
the beginning of the success of the Indus
try. All the glovers (hen wetc striving to
improve their ptodtict so ns to Increase
their trade They began to do n number
of things that their forerunners seemed lo
neglect. They gave more attention to tho
preparation of the skins that they wore
to use They tried to linpiove the cutting
processes. They concentrated more In
tently on lesults in finishing They aimed
at more firmness In their sewing. The
natural result of thnt attempt to mnko
better goods was n big iticrease In the
demand, so Hint In 1&3J neatly 32.000,000
worth of goods were exported to tho
United Slates. England, Germany, Bel
glum, Prussia nnd Sardinia.
GLOVES MADE BY MACHINERY.
It wns about this time that a manu
facturer from England, Bourinrt Alne, In
troduced Into France for the first time
tho sewing of gloves by machine. Then
almost Immediately nppoared the Inven
tion of Xnrler Jouvln, of Grenoble,
France, whose name Is peipetuatcd by
the continuation of the well-known
louvln glove factory In that city. Wo
must remember thnt up to this time,
every pair of gloves had to bo cut out
of the skin by the long nnd tedious hand
process. Xnvler Jouvln Invented n ma
chine tn do thnt work. The effect on tho
glove business wns Instantaneous nnd nil
thnt might be expected. The industry
began to grow by leaps nnd bounds. La
borers enjoyed a wider field and salaries
went up In proportion tn the increase In
trade.
I'p to tills point It Is interesting to no
tlre that French gloves enjoyed an undis
puted superiority over those of foreign
mnko. In 1S,"1 the exportation from
France amounted to more than J,0O0,O00.
In I57, moreover, the production wns
more than twice thnt nmount, the annual
production being I.OfO.oy) dozen gloves,
which furnished employment to " i"X)
workmen. In fnct. tho glove Industry
outside of France now was practically
nothing, and the French glovor did not
know what competition meant
Hut the vvtu of 1S70 changed nil this. It
will be recalled that In 1ST2 there was a
parnl.vsls of nil the French Industries, nnd
gloves came In for their share of suffer
ing. But to make matters worse for the
Fiench, there appeared upon the national
market from foreign sources gloves of a
specially nttractlvo sort, which seduced
tho French tiade nt that critical period.
FRENCH MEET COMPETITION,
For the first time, then, the French
were confronted with tho serious prob
letn of meeting competition. They real
ized wisely the necessity of perfecting
their factory equipment, such ns ma
chines, tools, etc. For a time they were
able to make n fair showing by adding
those necessities But there yet remained
one handicap. That was largely n ques
tion of factory conditions. With them
very little work wns done Inside the fac
tories, being distributed among various
woikmen outside, while their foreign
comuetitors created vast factors- nlantrt
I nnd installed In them nil tho modern

ilarly 20 per cent, during the same period.
Moreover, the glove production In France
In 1878 was only W.000.000, barely equal
to the trade 11 years prevlously-whllo
the demnnd for goods the world over
had been steadily Inctenslng In the mean
time. INDUSTRY REVIVED.
Just how to win back their lost prestige
wns now n big problem for the r rench
glove manufacturers. The secret or the
success of the foreign firms then seemed
to be In the fnct that the work was all
done within the nrea of their factories.
The Fiench tenllzcd this and made fluff
fort to centralize, but only to the extent
of erecting official headquarters In n largo
building In which they also Installed the
heavy machinery, such as the cutting In
struments. All hand work nnd sewing
continued to be done outside In the homes
of the workmen and workwomen. That
same arrangement applies to conditions
In Frnnre today. It was not now long be.
fore the French glove Industry was thriv
ing again. In 1SS3 the production was
raised to a little over JR00O.O00. One
half of that amount repicsents tho ex
portation for the same vear.
Previous to the present European war.
France was producing more than $2l,ono.
ono worth of gloves annually. England
had been tho best customer, with the
United Stales second nnd Canada a close
third. That this war will demoralize the
production of gloves In France Is certain
nnd the manufacturers will doubtless re
reive n blow from which they will prob
ablj never recover.
LEADING GLOVE CENTRES
Grenoble and Mlllnil, two prosperous
cities In southern France, have been tho
leading glove centres of the world. The
former Is noted for the kid. while tho
lambskin glove Is nssoclnted with the
latter place. Both have Interesting glove
histories In themselves, nnd have llguted
piomlnently In the genet nl development
of the Industry. Almost every family nt
Grenoble is represented In the glove busi
ness. The mother or some other member
of the family goes to the factory and gets
a number of gloves that have been cut by
machine nnd nrc ready to be sewed. She
sews them In her home and Is paid by the
fnctory a certain amount per dozen
pairs
The average cost of producing n pair of
first class kid gloves, not counting the
buying of the skins, Is scarcely more
thnn 35 cents. It might he Interesting to
look briefly Into the cost of manufactur
ing gloves by the different Important op
cintions. Let us take, for example, one
of the lending firms producing kid gloves
in Grenoble. The figures here given,
moi cover, seem to represent the nvetnge
price paid by the other factories In that
city.
WAGES AND WORK.
For the tanning of the skins, a wage
of about fiO cents per dozen pairs Is paid;
for the slitting of the leather, about SO
cents; for the cutting, 60 cents, and for
the sewing. $1 for 100 pairs. The workmen
receive about 63 cents a dozen for em
bioidorlng on the back of the glove, but
the price varies according to tho breadth
of the embroiders.
In Grenoble there are nt knot 15 large
kid glove factories. They nvernge about
5(0 dozen pairs of glove3 each u week.
Some of the firms, however, have pro
duced as many as 1000 dozen palis during
thnt time. It Is said thnt nbout K.000
people In Grenoble nnd vicinity work for
the various factories. In nddition to the
factories, moreover, a large number of
private Individuals mnko glovrn. The ma
terial used by them, howevei, Is not the
best, as they cannot afford to pay the
ptlces pnld by the big firms. Some of the
firms locnted In Grenoble are well known
in the United Stutes. fiuch as Jouvln, Per
rln. Esprit, Buscnrlet and Centemcrl.
Practically all the factories were com
pelled tn shut down ns noon as the pres
ent war broke out. The Contomort Com
pany wns ohllged to vacate Its property
and" tho factory building was immediate
ly converted into a hospital for the
French nrmy.

soldiers, mostly young men, buoyant of
spirit tnd taking much of tho campaign
ing as they would a football game, want
ed no heroics lo match nnd fight by.
There was enough of the latter when
they left home, at the Inspections and re

when thev returned. In the meantime
nothing served to keep spirits up nmre
