WASHINGTON. D. c.. April ga
conference on currency legislation was
held to-day between House and SEN
ste leaders. and was attended by
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich.
The Judgment OF the conference was
that the program lately decided on can
be put through. This program calls
for caucus OF the Republican mem
bers of the House. probably next week
or the week following, to determine
the passage of bill creating com
mission TO investigate thoroughly the
currency subject and the financial
situation of the country in general.
and to report on remedial Legislation
at the next session OF Congress. It Is
further the desire Of the House Re-
publican leaders to put through the
yreeland bill. which embodies what
are thought to be the best features ol
the Aldrich bill and eliminates the
provisions to which most objection ha.
been made.
All that the Senate leaders ask 81
the House leaders is to enact some
piece of financial legislation SO that
the Senate Will have a measure to use
as a working basis, all thought OF en-
acting the Aldrfch bill In the form 1T
passed the Senate having been aban-
doned The program is then to have
the Senate strike out everything after
the enacting clause in the House bill
and to insert the A!drich bill. This
will have the effect OF throwing the
amended bill into conference. and care
Will be exercised. both in the Senate
and the House. to appoint as conferces
members who favor some Legislation
at this session. It will be the task of
the conferses to patch up from the
Aldrich bill and Vreeland bill and the
committee bin a modified act embody-
ing such provisions as the leaders feel
sure of putting through the two
houses.
