.INSURGENT FORCES
DOMINATE CAUCUS
ON CURRENCY BILL
Would Broaden Power of
Farmers and Cotton
Raisers to Obtain
Security

Washington, August 1.-THE fight of
so-called "insurgent" democrats TO
en- the power of farmers and cotton
security for credit with the proposed
federal reserve banks, dominated to-
days caucus of democratic members Of
the House over the Glass currency bill.
Representatives Neeley of Kansas,
Wingo of Arkansas and Eagle of
Texas. all advocates of the pro-
posed extension of agricultural cred
its, held the floor throughout the day
with frequent interruption by Repre-
sentative Glass and other supporters Of
the administration measure. The in
surgent" forces claimed tonight to have
added some strength during the day.
Glass Defends
Chairman Glass again defended the
bill on the ground that 1t gave the
farmer ample power to use his ware
house receipts and security for redis-
countable notes, provided he wanted
money for bona fide agricultural opera
tions. The amendments demanded by
the insurgents" would make ware
house receipts specifically legal, as Sc
curity for rediscountable loans, and the
administration forces insisted that such
amendments would lead to widespread
speculation and that the warehouse re-
ceipts would pass into the hands of
a few big spectators who would DOM
mate the wheat. corn and cotton mar
kets and manipulate prices.
A vote on the bill is not expected
before the end of the week. Echoes of
the House money trust" investigation
were heard throughout the day, Rep
resentatives Neeley and Wingo using
the lessons of the money trust inquiry
to support their demand for amend
ments to prevent interlocking boards
of directors and interloclxing stock
holding interests in national banks.
