WILDLY DIVERGENT views
DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE ON
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Several Hours Consumed by Senators
in Discussion Of Different
Bills Favored

The democratic senator's held a confer
ence today for the purpose of trying to
agree npon a policy TO be pursued with
reference to the proposed financial legis-
lat;on. The meeting began at 10 o'clock
and continued we'll into the afternoon.
Speeches were made by almost all the
senators present and developed a wide
divergence of opinion on the questions at
issue. Several of them. including Sena-
tors Bailey. McI.aurn and Owen. are the
authors of bills and each of them spoke
at length in support of his own measure.
Senator McLaurin'S bill authorizes the
issuance of treasury notes on the deposit
of cotton warehouse receipts. and was
outlined at length by that senator. who
urged its adoption because of the standard
characer of cotton as commodity and
because of the necessity for ready money
In moving the cotton crop. He contended
that the cotton producer is more entitled
to the favor of the government than spec
ulators who hold stocks and bonds
Mr. Owen brought his several bills au-
thorlZlng the use of government bonds as
legal tender. limiting speculative loans
by banks and regulating deposits in
banks to the attention of the conference.
and urged their acceptance as providing
complete system for the protection OF
the public and conservative bankers.
Reason for the Conference.
1t developed today that the caucus was
asked for by the minority members of
the finance committee .or the purpose of
agreeing. If possible upon an attitude
toward the Aldrich bill which is being
considered by that committee
The democrats on the finance committee
desired TO present a minority report on
the Aldrch bill that will meet with the
general approval OF the democratic sena-
tors. and consequently before they com-
init themselves in the committee they
desired to know the sense of the caucus
Practically all of the time of the caucus
this morning was taken up by discussions
of this phase Of the matter. An effort is
being made to decide upon certain amend
ments TO the Aldrch measure as ex-
pressing the minority's position. If this
effort should fail, it is understood the
question of supporting substitute meas
ure will be next taken up. as the alterna-
tive. In this event. Senator BaileyS cur
rency bill will come before the caucus.
Democratic sentiment is pretty much
divided on the question of whether >or not
1t is best TO support amendments to the
Aldrich BILL or q separate measure, and
also. usual. there are some democratic
senators who favor the idea of going. into
the Senate with no agreement whatso-
ever
1t is evident from the developments to-
day that there will be no agreement on a
democratic program for financial legisla-
ton at this session of Congress without
much discussion and the generation of
many sparks. 1t is quite probable, in
fact that there will be no general un-
derstanding at all.
