WORSE than the original Vreelsnd
bill: worse than the Aldfich bill as 1t
passed the Senate; worse even than the
Aldrich bill as originally framed BY
Mr.. Aldrich, was the compromise cur
rsucy bill that was rushed through the
House yesterday afternoon practically
without consideration and without un-
dsrstaudiDg Of it's provisions by many of
the men who voted for II. The actual
provisions of the bill had been carefully
guarded by the conferees until they we're
ready to present it to the House. Other
wise it could not have passed that body.
Already men who voted for 1t are
beginning to understand its in
iouitIes, and to regret that they
were misled into accepting it. There
Is but slight chance it may be
bestsn In the Senate. The democrats
sr, going to talk against it, but they
will not prevent vote, and unless there
srs sufficient independent and intelli-
gent republicans 10 the seust' to vote
with the democrat, the bill will Proba-
bl, pass that body also. 1t was made
koown Tuesday night that the basis Of
thu compromise was combination oil
the Aldrich aud Vrseland bills, in which
i, was generally agreed that 90 per cent
OF the proposed emergency currency
should be issued under the provisions oil
the Aldricb bill, and 40 pr cent. M
dsr the Vreeland bill through clearing
house associations. When the bill was
made public yesterday 1t was found TO
be 80 per cent. Wall street and
20 Der cent. for the possible benefit OF
the com mereisl iut rests. The railroad
bonds feature of the Aldrich bill, slight
" disguised, Is restored, and the COM
msrcisl interests are permitted to pro-
vide not more than 20 per cent. OF the
b isis of note issues, with bonds and
speculative securities forming The re
mainIng so per cent of the assets t. be
nsed. As the announcement OF the COM
promise was made Tuesday night 1t was
n understood that the banks In a clesrlng
house association would have the priVl-
iexe of choosing between commercial
paper and ether securt es In providing
sseurity for notes. The bill, as passed
b7 the House, provides that no bank
shall use more than 80 per cent. OF Its
capital and surplus In commercial paper,
and that for any additional circulation
1t must use railroad bonds or other cor
ptratiou obligations. Thers are also
several other objsctional features OF the
bill.

Toilette referred to the inconvenience
caused by the last strike of telegraph
operators and said another strike Is i'm.

Limitation on the life OF the bill, an In
crease ia the amount oil the redemption
fund, the formation of national cur.
rency associations and The acceptance
OF commtF cisl paper a. the basis for
emergency circulation. He said the re-
demption 10 superior to existing law.
Mr. Oalbersop inquired II there ia any
probability OF passing the antI-iDjunctlOn
bill either here or 10 the House.
Mr.. Aldrich said, speaking only for
himself, 1t seems absolutely impossible to
enact such legislation at this session.
This is due to wide differences Of opinion.
The passage of such q bill, he said,
would reEnire Congress 10 remain In
session for months.
Mr.. Oulberson asked If any publicity
legislation may be expected at this ses-
sion.

voting on the Mccall bill lhia afternoon
or at any time.
Mr.. Culberson asked II this referred
to the publicity feature, unmixed with
politics, or the whole proposition cut
ling down southern represent ton.
Mr.. Aldiich said IL would be difficult to
disassociste the two subjects but would
leave it to the Senste to determine.
All other bills on the subject are before
