STOP ELEVENTH HOUR Revolt
GOLD STANDARD HoGY sTIRs
CURRENCY CAUCUS FOR
A TIME.
Amendment to Maintain Legal Money
at Parity Causes Stampede
Democrats Threaten to
Quit.

Washington, Sept. 1S-An eleventh.
hour revolt from the will of the eau.
Gus and the leadership of the lAanking
and currency committee, spread
among Democrats of the house when
the administration currency bill was
within the shadow cf the final vote
upon its passage Mthreatened for a
time to reach serious proportions, but
the party leaders got the situation in
hand again.
Chairman Glass of the committee
and other leaders, who sided with
him. were plainly worried, and their
predicament afforded unconcealed
amusement to the Republicans-and
particularly to Progressive Leader
Murdoch. The revolt lasted through
many speeches on the Democratic
side, several from across the aisle,
and one vote on which more Demo
Gratis deserted the committee than
had left its standard on any of the
mooted questions brought up before.
An amendment by Representative
Foss of Ohio designed to maintain all
legal money at parity and insure the
retention of the. gold standard,
coused all the trouble. Some Demo
Gratis protested to see in it revival
Of the old issue of bi-metallism, and
openly charged that the committee in
endorsing such an amendment was Of.
fering gratuitous insult to four.
fifths of the Democratic party. That
issue they pointed out was settled six.
teen years ago.
Representative Witherspoon of Mis-.
sissippi was the first to announce that
with such an amendment tackled to
the bill, he would bolt the caucus and
vote against it.
II will never vote for it," he shout.
ed, "for am an honest man."
II challenge the right of the com.
mittee to bring in such an amend.
ment as this" said Representative
Wingo. Somebody is playing politics
and trying to humiliate four-tifths OF
the Democratic party. 1t is useless
it is childish"
Representative Murray of Okla.
homa declared that it was an insult
to Democrats to indorse such an
amendment.
Il want to say now" he shouted,
walking toward the Democratic com.
mittee table," that the people of this
country will not follow you to the
polls next November on this ISSUE"
Representative sherley poured oil
on the troubled waters. Mr.. Sherley
said that the amendment could do nc
harm, and might do good, and that
1t was time for Democrats to forget
what was behind and reckon with
what was before.

DISCUSS MANY NOTIFICATIONS
SENATE WILLING TO CHANGE
COTTON FUTURES CLAUSE,
House Likely to Accept Amendment
After Modification to Suit Mar.
ket Conditions Of Country.

Washington, Sept. Rehabilitation
OF the senate's cotton futures tax
amendment to the tariff bill to make
the provision acceptable to the house,
will be considered by the tariff con.
ference committee within a day or
two.
Informal discussion of the subject
has developed that the house proba.
bly, would accept the plan Of taxing
trades in cotton futures, If the terms
OF the Clarke amendment adopted by
the senate were modified.
A substitute for the Clarke amend.
ment submitted to the conferees by
Representative Lever Of South Caro-
lima, chairman Of the house committee
on agriculture, provides that the tax
OF half cent pound, or so cents a
bale, shall not be assessed where the
cotton contracts call for the regular
government grades and such grades
are actually delivered, or where the
difference in price is paid If another
grade is delivered.
This and other changes will be con.
sidered in the belief that the cotton
futures amendment will finally be re-
tanned as a regulatory provision as
well as revenue-raising feature. The
tariff conferees have pushed through
the sundries schedule of the tariff
bill, reaching agreements on many of
its provisions. The differences be.
tween house and senate over hats,
Photographic films, works Of art, furs,
and several other important items
were left for later action.
The house members accepted the
senate amendments putting gunpow.
der ana Eliminates on the free list,
making changes in the method of as.
sessing duties on laces, and putting
harness and saddlery on the free list.
The senate receded from it's amend
nhent putting chamois, calfskins and
similar feathers on the free list and
accepted the house rata of Is per
cent. The senate also consented to a
reduction in the rates 1t had fixed on
gloves.
Chairman Norwood of the house
conferees expresses the belief that
there would be no great differences
between the members Of the two hous.
es over the income tax section where
the senate materially increased the
rates of tax on large incomes.
