Hands Were Tied.

Complaint has been made by the House
conferees that in their dealings with the
Senate they have been acting in purely
ministerial capacity Their hands were
tied by an evident determination on the
part of large majority Of the House
Republicans that under no circumstances
must the Vreeland bill be changed in
the slightest respect. When the conferees
met, therefore, they found that there was
nothing to do. The Senate conferees stood
pat on the Aldrich bill, while the repre-
sentatives or the House confessed that it
was futile to longer continue the session.
Since the word has gone throughout the
country that Congress is about TO adjourn
without passing an emergency currency
bill, members of the House particularly

While the fear Is expressed that the
House and the Senate may be unable TO
agree on an emergency currency law this
session. earnest efforts are being made by
the leaders in Congress to induce one
branch or the other to accept either the
Vreeland or Aldrich bill.
There is no possibility Of compromise
on this subject The differences that de-
veloped in conference over the two meas
ures are irreconcilable. One House or
the other must yield or there will be no
legislation.
During the last two days Of the week
that has just closed much missionary
work was done in the interest Of emer-
gency currency legislation. Those en-
gagged in 1t kept their own counsel. and
1t did not become known until Saturday
that while the conferees had formally
discontinued holding sessions. the leaders.

every effort to bring about an agreement.

currency were held last night but the
results will not develop until to-day.
Disappointment TO Leaders.
Great disappoin tment is expressed by
members Of the House and Senate over
what now appears TO be a fiasco on the
question Ut emergency currency. Con
gress met last december right on the
heels Of panic that was serious in its
influences upon commerce and trade
throughout the United States.

work at once in an effort 10 draft a meas
ure that would provide an abundance of
currency for emergencies. The measure
was confessedly a makeshift. 1t was in
tended only to serve until opportunity
was given later 20 devise a scientific svs-
tenn Of banking and currency for the
United States
The Aldrich bill was passed in the SEN
ate after considerable debate. II was
amended in n number Of particulars. Sen
ator Aldrich yielding 10 the clamorous
protests of Western members by elimfn-
ating the railroad bond provision. With
this feature Of the bill stricken out. the
measure became more popular in the
House, where formerly It had been con-
demned. and the hope was then expressed
that the Aidrich bill. or something an
proximating it, would be enacted into
law.
Trouble began when the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency tabled
the Senate measure. An agitation against
II was begun, with the result that It was
only necessary to mention "Aldrich bili''
in the House corridors to start a riot.
The Vreeland bill was then evolved. Be
