publicans voted for the bill and three
democrats voted against it.
Some house democrats were in.
clined to look with disfavor on an
amendment Incorporated in the meas.

the banking committee. The amend.
ment, proposed by Representative
Fess, republican, of Ohio, included a
statement that none of its provisions
were calculated to repeal the law of
1900 prescribing the gold money
standard or to disturb the parity of
money.
The measure would eliminate the
present American bank note system
under which banks issue currency
against government bonds and estab-
lish currency to be issued by IL re-.
