WESTERN BANKERS
AFTER ALDR|CH
Financiers Do Not Like None.
tary Commission-Will
Work Up Opposition

L Washington, Aug. 26.-Members of
f!na, National monetary. commission
nave. learned. that there is a move
menti among western bankers and
nnanciers to cut under the national
monetary commission and to start a
propaganda Independent of the none
tary commission to advance the cause
OF currency reform. Prof. ]. Lawrence
laughlin OF Chicago seems to be the
leader OF the movement. He was in
Washington recently, it is said, trying
to organize the independent movement
and making plans for the establish
ment OF publicity bureau to advance
the cause Of monetary reform legisla-
tton: An offer Of the position of head
OF the publicity bureau was made to
a number of Washington men.
No concealment is made of the fact
that the main reason for starting the
new propaganda was to eliminate
former Senator Aldrich from the i'm
portant position he now holds in the
general plan for advancing currency
reform legislation. The former sena-
tor from Rhode Island is chairman of
the national monetary commission. He
has announced that he intends to de-
vote his time almost exclusively to
the work Of submitting comprehen-
sive report to congress early next
year on plan for financial legisla-
tion.
The senator has leased a home in
Washington and will spend the winter
here in order that he may be in touch
with the work. He expects to do ev-
erything possible to pass bill en-
bodying his recommendations through
the next session of congress. He in
tends to lead popular campaign of
education. and shortly will open this
campaign in speech at Kansas City.
He will follow with speeches In other
commercial centers.
Hardship to Members.
The action Of congress in passing a
law abolishing the national monetary
commission on March 81 next, and
cutting Oft salaries at once has worked
hardship to some Of the members.
1t Is learned that some Of the sena-
tors who were continued on the COM
mission after their terms In congress
expired have been giving all their
time to the work of the commission,
and have refused business offers in
order that they might devote them

ing books on finance. collecting data,
and going about the preparation of
their work with concentration of en-
ergy and singleness Of purpose
worthy Of the subject in hand. In
doing so, they relied on the $500 a
year salary to meet their cost of Mv-
ing.
Former Senator Money Of Mississir-
pt, late minority leader of the senate,
is without any income or fortune, and
his friends say that within few
months he has declined two good
business offers that would have in
!sured him q comfortable income, be-
cause he fel: 1t was his duty to give
his entire ti!no to the work Of the
,moentary commission. Now he finds
himself in the enjoyment of an Office

seeS
Tor the Cummins bill, which abolished
his salary.
Former Senator J. G. Burrows Of
Michigan is another member Of the
commission who is said to be without
any income and In the enjoyment Of
but very small amount Of property.
senator Burrows at the end Of his
long service in public life retired a
comparatively poor man. At the con-
clusion OF his term he went to Europe
to get GOOD rest to put him in ply
sical condition to take up the ardu-
GUS work Of the commission, which he
knew would come with the early fall.
Incidentally, he is studying financial
problems abroad. With the passage
OF the Cummins bill the salary of Mr..
Burrows ceased, and II he pursues his
Investigations abroad, he must do It
ut his own expense.
Must Work for Nothing.
Some OF the senators and represen-
tatives who have remained in Wash
ington are very outspoken in the view
that Of congress meant to continue
the work Of the commission until
March 81 1t should have continued
salaries. They declare that congress
has no right to expect men who have
no Independent fortune or income to
give their labor and time to the cause
OF monetary reform from now until
March 81 for nothing. Already there
Is talk OF securing an agreement by
which the members of the commits
sion who were dropped from the pay
roll summarily may be induced to con-
tinue their work until the report is
completed, relying on the good faith
of congress, supported by public SEN
timent, to compensate them for the
labor they max give to the work Of
preparing the report.
1t is said that Senator Aldrich feels
keenly the injustice that has been
done some of these men. He ives
never in favor Of adding to the men,
bership of the commission after 1t had
once been created, and the vacancies
that were made and filled from time
to time were against his judgment, and
In some cases the appointments were
made over his earnest protest. But
Mr.. Aldrich believes that as the work
is under way and the members Of tho
commission having been put to so
much labor to equip themselves for
their work, they should not be cut of
summarily.
Aldrich Will Not Quit.
Former Senator Aldrich has no in
tention of abandoning his work or Of
turning it over to Prof. Laughlin and
his friends. While the former senate
leader is not talking for publication,
some of his friends and supporters
do not hesitate to say that the Cum
minis bill aimed at the national none
tary commission, was inspired by
some of the western interests that are
not in accord with Mr.. Aldrich's
views, and are trying to start coun-
ter movement, and to aid it are dis
crediting the national monetary COM
mission. The western movement, hav-
ing for It's object the elimination Of
Mr.. Aldrich, had Its inception. 1t is be-
lieved, in divergent views from those
expressed in Mr.. Aldrich's report as
to what is necessary in the way Of
financial legislation. 1t is believed
that the central bank issue is in
volved. and that the men who are en-
cheering the counter movement are
at cross purposes with the national
commission as to other rec
concentrations in the Aldrich plan.
