Washington. Dec 4.-The newly ap-
pointed house committee on banking
and currency held its first meeting to-
day, spending two and a halfNhours IN
discussing the currency question In
several of it's phases. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting several Of the
members stated that as a result of the
conference the members of the COM
mittee were now nearer common
ground than they have been before.
Notwithstanding the same men, with
the exception of three. composed the
committee during the fifty-ninth con-
gress.
The only definite action taken at
this initial meeting was the authori-
cation of the chair to appoint sub
committee OF five TO draft and submit
currency bill TO correct the present
financial situation. There will be no
hearings before the committee until
the subcommittee has finished it's
task and the completed draft is I'm
the hands Of the chairman.
The recurrence Of two phases of
the currency question marked the
conference. These were: The crea-
ton Of elasticity in the currency and
the disposition Of reserve balances in
national banks The committee was
apparently agreed that IL will sanction
no move to increase the bulk Of paper
money but will confine itself to the
consideration of the best means of in
jecting elasticity. The plan Of pro-
vidng for the issuance of national
bank credit notes which can be in
stantly drawn into circulation when
general conditions require an increas-
ed currency. was passed and discussed
at some length.
The view was strongly urged that
the laws should be changed SO as to
prevent the absorption Of the reserve
money in national banks by banks In
reserve cities. National banks are re-
duired to hold in reserve cities three
fifths of their reserve capital. and II
was pointed out that under this re-
quirement country banks have to
send this reserve portion To the near
est reserve city whose banks. II was
asserted. loan Il out and I'm time Of
find themselves unable to
respond TO the call Of the country
banks for return Of the deposits. Sew
eral members Of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that the loaning !
Of reserve funds should be checked |
by legislation.

GOVERNOR DECLARES TROOPS

Goldfield, New. Dec. 4.-The eXecu-
tive committee of the Mine owners
association Of Goldfield tonight re-
ceived assurances from Governor
Sparks that he had called upon Wash
ington, requesting that government
troops be held I'm readiness for use in
tho Nevada mining camps. and that
garrison of regulars would be estab-

In the immediate situation TO require
the Intervention Of troops. The town
is as quiet as usual. But il is feared
by the mine owners that trouble is
brewing and that overt acts might be
committed at any time. The strike is
at a deadlock and the mine owners
propose to keep the mines shut down
until the violent element of the min
ers' union and the lawless element
generally I'm the camp are compelled
to leave. The miners union Is not
prepared 10 make a long fight. as
their treasury Is depleted, and II Is
believed that for this reason tAf min-
ers VIII force The issue by violence,
as has been threatened. Money has
been scarce in Goldfield since two of
the banks closed. and scrip resorted
to by the banks. and as all the mines
have been shut down for several days
the pinch Of poverty Is being felt by
the miners. who. as a rule, are an inn
provident lot. living from hand to
mouth. Hod-ups and burglaries have
been frequent OF late. attributable 10
this fact. and there Is a general feel
ing Of unrest which is likely to break
out into a general riot before 'lonf IT
is for probationary reasons more than
because of an acute situation, that has
impelled the call for troops.
When the committee queried the
governor as to what he would do with
respect to call for government
troops should conditions arise seeming
to require them, he answered that he
had already taken the matter up with
Washington ten days before The
nearest troops are al the Preside of
san Francisco. eighteen hours distant
by special train. The mining camps
all over Nevada are cooperating with
the Goldfield mine operators. and are
acting in harmony with them. The
miners know that in all the large
camps Of the country hundreds of
miners are walking the streets out Of
employment and there Is nowhere for
the Goldfield miners TO go. Thls Is
