THEY DOiYT LIKE
THE NEW SYSTEM
COUNTRY BANKS ARE MAKING
KNOWN THEIR PROTESTS.
Believe the Action of the Now York
Clearing Houso Association in
Making a Charge for the Collec
tion of Country Checks Is Very
Arbitrary Already Evldenco of
Retaliation on the Pott of Banks
and Business Men Has Cropped
Out.
Scranton being a Now York town, Is
affected In no small degree by the act
of the New Yoik Clcnrlnc House as
sociation Imposing a charge for col
lecting country checks. No uctlon has
been taken by our local bunks by way
of retaliation, as bus been done In
some other cities, but a strong sentt
inent Is growing In favor of doing
something in opposition to this nrbl
tiury uct, and It would not be surpris
ing If something along that line would
ue done before long.
W. II. Peck, of the Thlid National
bank, president of the- Scranton Clear
ing House nssoclatlon, favors lmltnt
Ing the Ilattford, Conn., clearing
house, which adopted resolutions de
claring the action of the New York
association to be nt binary and op
posed to the principles of Justice and
good business.
In the Hartford Courant, simultane
ously with the resolutions, there ap
peared what can safely be taken as an
Inspired editorial saying.
"The country banks will not stand
the chatge. They may wait a while to
see If the New York bankets will not
change of their own accord, but other
wise they will net for themselves They
may, as New Haven suggests, chnige
for collecting checks on New York and
make checks on Philadelphia, Chicago
and other centers flee of collection
charges."
WANT TI1I31I1 HPSINHSS.
The Serantoti banks can If they so
choose, make It eniphatleully apparent
to the New York association that Its
action Is not looked upon with favor
heie. Al ptosent nearly all the- New
Htigliind and much Western und
Southern buslniss Is tinnsacted
through New Yoik. Sliue the New
Yoik banks determined upon charging
for collecting, tho Hostoti, Haltlmoif
and Chicago banks have Invited the
"couutiy banks" to open accounts with
them, volunteering to make the collec
tions without charge. Hie loss of
these balances to the New Yoik banks
would mote than offset what they
would lose by doing the collecting flee.
The deposltois have devised various
means of making the new older un
popular. Many of them stamp ncross
their checks this notice: "We pay our
bills by checks on the bank,
Scianton, Pa If not uecepted ut par,
please 1 etui 11 "
Many met chants heie have lecelved
notices trom New Yoik houses with
w hlch they do business, that the extra
charge for collecting their checks will
be chaiged up to their accounts. The
Scranton men have rehpondect by sav
ing: "Smith, Jones ft Co., of Philadel
phia, whose price list continues favor
ably with jours, will accept our
checks nt par." Already these an
swets. have bt ought forth a second no
tlie to disregard the first.
Hy making the New York merchants
stand the extra chaiges, they will be
fore long make such a v Igorous protest
that the New Yoik Clearing house will
have to rescind Its distasteful older or
at least modify It.
HOWL HAD ITS EFFECT.
The howl that went up against the
new order, even betore It went into
operation, had Its effect. Orlginnll It
vi ab Intended to ehaige" ten cents as a
minimum on any check. This, how
ever, was modified so that small checks
could be grouped and collected at the
icgular ehaige of one-tenth ot 1 per
cent, on the whole amount. For ex
ample. Under the otlgtnal plans, if
a Scranton house sent 100 checks at $1
apiece for collection thtough a New
Yoik bank, a ehaige of ten cents
apiece, or $10, would be made. Under
the modification these checks would be
gtoupeel and charged for at the late of
one-tenth of I pet cent, or ten cents.
The .sentiment of the Scranton bank
ets who were lntei viewed on the mat
ter Is that with ptoper modifications
the new tule would be acceptable. The
Imposing of n charge for collecting
should be left to the disci etlon of each
bank, Mr. Peck thought. If a deposi
tor who keeps a balance of only $100
should want a check collected It would
be no more than right to make a i.m
soiiublp ehurge for so doing On th
bther hand, If the depositor wafa inie
who kept a big balance, the bank
ought to be allowed to leclprocate with
him fot the use of his balance by mak
ing the collection for him free cf
charge
It Is Just possible that some "coun
try" clearing house will take aggtes
sive steps to oppose the new iiile mid
that the otheis will follow, in which
case the New Yoik association will bo
compelled to modify Its uibltrary ac
tion. Just at piesent there Is a "culm
before tho storm."
