BANKERS ACETATE

Subject Referred to Special Com

r.. , cussion. ~ -.

st. Louis, Oct. 20.-The concluding
session of the thirty-second annual con-
vention Of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION was marked by warmth of dis
cussion, multiplicity Of moves and com
plexity Of counter moves. The subject
was a currency reform. The convention
struggled with it for more than an
hour. ~. = -
The discussion eliminated in the
adoption Of a resolution introduced by
William George Of Aurora, ILL.,, to refer
the consideration and formulation Of
currency reform plan to a committee
to be appointed by the executive coun-
gil, which shall confer with the New
Y ork Chamber Of Commerce committee
and submit plan for enactment into
law by congress. .'1.
With almost breathless interest the
assembly heard the report Of the bank
ing legislative committee read by
Chairman Arthur Reynolds, president Of
the Des ,Moines National bank, intro
ducing the currency subject and set
ting forth the plan formulated by the
committee for credit or currency
clearance: The plan comprised ten sec
tons and Chairman Reynolds stated
that it was prepared with consideration
to the condition of the country, it's
ACSCooACy, JIG tculPclducuI VI Gue pep
pie, and the best interests of citizens
as a whole, aiming to protect the inter-
ests Of the humblest citizens as we'll as
those Of the wealthy.
The moment the reading of the COM
mittee's report was concluded, the con-
vention was in an uproar. A resolution
was offered to adopt the report as a
whole, another to refer It back to the
executive council without recommends
ton and still another to consider The
sections seriatim. All the while dele
gates wildly clamored to discuss the
subject and to give expression to indi-
vidually formulated plans. IS
An hours discussion was finally
agreed on. The discussion was thoro
and spirited, but without definite con-
clusion. .s5 Z, s=%s
At the expiration Of the time limit
a resolution was offered by William
George to refer the report Of the legis-I
lative committee to a special commit
