CONGRESS TO MEET
ON NOVEMBER 8
special Session for the Considera.
tion Of a New Currency Bill.
ROOSEVELT APPROVES PLAN
programme includes a Disposition
On some HAAS Of the Question
Of the Cuban Reciprocity
Problem.

Washington. Sept. 7.-Informatiou
which is considered reliable says thai
Congress Will be called in special SEES
sion November 3 to consider remedial
currency legislation and other import
ant matters.
The Information comes from such
sources as TO indicate President Roose-
veits approval. and the Endorsement OF
prominent financiers throughout the
west. as well as those in the east. II
is now believed that Secretary Shaw's
speech in Chicago. in which be out
lined his currency plan, was nothing
more nor less than the visit and the
speech OF n missionary, designed &c
draw forth public and private comment
before final action is taken toward put
ing the programme into actual effect.
This programme for currency legis
lation includes tire following points
FIRST, removal of the provision limit
Ing the retirement of national bank
rotes TO 100000 per month; second
amendment 10 currency laws 10 per-
init banks TO issue so per cent. Of theii
outstanding circulation secured BY

ency. The two latter changes can be
made, 1t is believed, without legisla-
ton, but are TO be part of the gen.
eral currency scheme. Among the 9TH
or matters scheduled for consideration
Is Cuban reciprocity. which will be
recommended again by the president.
The plan as outlined is not the plar
or the scheme OF any particular indi.
vidual or any particular set OF politi.
clans. fnanciers or bankers. but IL 1:
held TO be the consensus of opinion OF
every interest in the country. While
IL does not meet the radical views OF
some bankers who apparently desire
to use any currency reform as a mon
ey-making proposition for their insti.
tutions, 1t has been approved by some
CT the leading fnanciers Of the country
who say they do not favor any plan
that means a mere money making ma
cnine for the banks. but rather stand
for some reform that will actually re-
lieve the nation from currency en-
barrassment at times when crops are
under movement. They want system
which can not possibly he used with
