BANKERS WON'T STOP IT
But Are Willing to Compromise on the
Currency Bill.

Chicago, Aug. PA policy of con-
Citation and cooperation has been
adopted by the resolutions committee
of the American bankers conference
here called to crystalline objections to
currency legislation pending in con-
gress. The bankers decided to make
no effort to prevent currency legisla-
ton at the present session of congress
as advocated in resolutions offered py
James B. Forgan of Chicago. Instead
it was decided to present a friendly
criticism of the administration bill
with Willingness to compromise on
those questions which are in debate.
This was the decision of the resolu-
tions committee which recessed at
midnight and today the conference
eagerly awaited it's recommendations.
In assuming this attitude the COM
mittee followed the advice of George
NJ Reynolds of Chicago, who on
Thursday conferred with Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo. Early in its
deliberations the committee decided
not to present to the conference the
resolutions of its chairman, Mr.. For
gan. and then took up the Glass Owen
bill section by section. 1t is believed
that a report will be ready today and
a warm discussion is anticipated.
