Toll on Checks 10 to Be Investigated
Wheelington Aug 13 A collateral phase of the so called money trust is being investigated by Attorney General Wickersham to determine if the New York Clearing House rule requiring a fixed charge for collecting out of town checks violates the Sherman anti trust law or the national bank act. The inquiry aims to decide whether the practice is a violation or against public policy and may set a precedent for all clearing house associations. The probe, begun by the money trust committee, questions the banks’ right to fix charges and to apply them differently by locality.
