Banks urged to push for recognition by New York Clearing House
John C. Eckioff of Second National Bank urged Washington bankers to demand par city status from the New York Clearing House and to threaten retaliation if not treated as other cities. He said Washington should not beg and should prepare demonstrations of resolve, noting the city’s central government role and potential leverage but also acknowledging Washington’s lack of manufacturing and street money demand to be a great reserve town.
