CURRENCY BILL
FIGHT WILL Be
MADE THIS WEEK
First Test of Presidents Plan
to Come Up at Caucus Meet
ing-Taritf Measure in For
Opposition.

WASHINGTON. Aug. II. - Pres.
Wilson's currency plans will meet
their first real test Monday when the
administration currency bill will be
laid before a democratic house eau
Gus. The bill goes III with three ad-
verse democratic votes from the bank
ing committee; and with a well or
gained opposition against many of its
features within the democratic ranks
The president has been assured by
his advisers in congress that the meas
ure can be passed in the house with
out material change, and he has not
altered his purpose 10 insist upon
currency legislation at the present
special session. The house caucus is
being awaited with keen interest be-
cause Of the anticipation Of a de-
termined effort to delay consideration
of currency reform and TO make i'm
portant changes in the bill.
While the banking bill is thus
thrust to the front at the beginning
OF the week, ii will not displace the
tariff in the activities Of the con-
gressional week. The senate has
reached some of the most important
sections of the tariff revision bill and
within the coming week that Jody Is
likely TO find itself in the midst Of
the fights over the sugar tariff, ag-
ricultural products and possibly the
wooden schedule.
Will Hear From Moosers.
These portions of the bill will bring
out the first important activities of
Sen. LaFollette and are counted upon
also TO show the first definite align
ment among the progressive repub-
lican forces in support of substitutes
for the democratic tariff rates. The
progressive republicans have at
tempted to reach an understanding
over substitute sections; and ii is be-
lieved they will go into the sugar
wool, cotton and other contests with
an organized program TO which they
will try TO win all republicans and a
few democrats.
Meantime the death of Sen. John
ston has left a scant majority on the
democratic side. which Is giving the
leaders some apprehension, although
the ultimate passage Of the bill still
is considered secure by a vote of As
TO Al. The actual democratic strength
now is so but the votes of Senators
