and is considered by Its officials as
one of the strongest indications; of :
tub progress made in business during
the period. On January 22,, 1921, the
bank dropped its rates from 7 to 6.
per cent. Another decrease to one-
half’ per cent, was ordered November
2, While a similar cut was inhde tie-,
comber 19.
One of thb ihost significant points
stressed by Governor Wellborn It dis
cussing the status of liquidation, was
his statement that 1 all member banks
in this district are in excellent finan
cial condition. This was evidenced, he
said, by the fact that fully one-third
of the institutions were not rediscount
ing with the Atlanta bank.
When the • reduction to 5 per cent
was mado in December, Mr. Wellborn
asserted that all member banks would
be placed In a better position to aid
farmers during the spring planting
sqason,. With a still further reduction
now in effect, thp hanks now are in a
stronger pq3ition to increase their
loans to planters, he said.
"A L great many persons think tlje
banks’ are borrowing heavily,” he con
tinued. “But this is 1 not true, and I
think It is one of tho best indications

Washington—That owners of coal
mining properties, both anthracite and ,
bituminous, are forcing a general!
strike in union miries by 'their “auto*
cl-atio attitude,” 1 and 1 that' tho rea
son' for - their/ attitude can be' found *
in ‘(domination of the coal industry :
by financial interests,” were charges.;
made in a, statement jssued by Sam- ,
uel Gompers, president, of tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor. Ho^ supple*,
monted those charges with "statistics',
whiclii he declared,. shpVred that real
ownership of many bltuininous ,cokl '
properties lay in the hand's of thd
steel industry, while anthracite mines
were asserted to be “largely adjuncts
to railroad operation'.”
Mr. Gompers. asserted - that control 1 i
of the mines was thus taken “to ad r
effective degree from the hands of ac
tual operating” men, and placed in this
• hands i of . financial interests.” i Coal
mines have merely b.ocomoi "wheels In 1
a great ,proflt - making machine,” h© ?
said, operated, by mep for whom , "all 1
things must give-vyay fo ; profits.”
As to the anthracite, fioldSj Mr. Gpm*

disclosed "seven railrodds l c6'ntroilirig;
