Tighten Up Lines of Endorsement
In Answer to Bankers Sugges-
tions--Will Hear what They Have
To Say Before the Bill Passes.
The Active Supporters Plan to Pass Pres. Wilson's
Plan Minus Proposed Amendments.

Washington, Aug. 24.@The answer
Of the administration force in the
House to the criticisms of the new
currency bill made by the conference
Of bankers at Chicago, yesterday, will
be tightening up of the lines and
a more vigorous endorsement of the
bill as it now stands. In formal con-
ferences of Democratic members Of
the House currency committee, today
emphasized the fact that the active
supporters Of the Presidents currency
plan expect to pass the measure
through the House without a&bstan-
tla change.
The bankers will have an opportun-
ity to present their views openly to
Congress after the currency bill gets
into the Senate. Chairman Owen of
the Senate currency committee said,
tadaN:
4 sec a good deal of merit in the
proposal TO reduce somewhat the
quantity of the reserves We have
net discussed the new legislation suf-
ficientIy in committee, however to
know what changes will be made IN
the bill"
The fact that leading bankers hold
different views of the effect of the
new legislation particularly with re-
gard to the possible reduction of loans
and curtailment Of credit, has led
members of the Senate committee t.
believe that further discussion of
the bill al open hearings would result
in winning the cooperation and sup
port of large portion of the bank
! ing fraternity of the country.

ers, the last week has seen greater
progress toward united support u

dieted the Senate could complete the
tariff bill and pass it by Sept. 5: and
that the measure could be finished by
the conference committee and signed
by President Wilson by Sept. 16 Only
unforeseen delay in debate will pre-
vent the tariff bill from becoming Il
law by that time, in the opinion OF
Senator Simmons.
4 spirit of harmony has been es-
tablished in the consideration of the
bill in the Senate. This has taken
out of the debate much of the person
al bitterness usually characteristic of
tariff fight. The Republicans win
make a supreme effort to change the
free wool provision. and all WOODEN
tariff rates, late this week, when the
LaEollette, Penrose, Smoot and Cat
ron substitute measures will be sub
mitted and voted on.

there VIII be no break in their ranks
and that there is no chance for the tar

members of the finance committee viii
