CURRENCY BILL CALLED
PARTISAN BY norris
Senator, in Statement, Declares Fed
eral Reserve Board Would Have
Too Much Power.
POLITICAL MACHINE IS FEARED

DenOuncing the administration cur
rency bill as a partisan measure.
passed through the House unamended
solely on the strength of the secret
caucus. and providing for partisan
political control of the banking sys-
tenn of the country, Senator Norris of
Nebraska last night issued a state
ment pointing out what he regards as
defects. Senator Norris is a Progress
sive Republican. and, while in favor
of finaqCial legislation which will give
an elastic currency, he declares that
the bill has many faults.
Il am in favor of government con-
troll as distinguished from bank con-
troll" said Senator Norris, but l am
more opposes to partisan political con-
troll than l am to any other kind. The
bill. as it passed the House, was a
purely partisan measure, and we would
naturally expect it to have defects that
usually follow any measure that is the
outgrowth of partisan manipulation
and secret caucus control The COun-
try could not expect good legislation
from such procedure An attempt
was made to put it through the SEN
ate in the same way. but this has APP
parently failed
The entire system of banking and
currency as provided in the bill is under
the control of what is called the Federal
Reserve Board. Their powers are prac-
ticaIly unlimited Nothing OF any inn
portance from the top to the bottom Of
their sanction.
The Secretary of the Treasury. the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the Comp
trolIer Of the Currency are cx-officio
members of the board. The other four
are appointed by the President. 1t will
thus be seen that any President will be
a BILE TO name a majority OF the board.
The board is made at once a football
OF partissn politics. I am not charging
that any President would deliberately
try to upset the banking and financial
system of the country. l am not even
intimatinE that any President would take
any steps with corrupt motives, but with
IN the recollection of all grown men II
is known that financial systems and COM
Dinations have aften had the sympathy
Of Presidents. The men who control these
would be able to furnish
the sinews Of war in Presidential cam
Taigns and 1t is fair to assume that
they would be rewarded in the future
as they have been in the past. Our
banking and financial situation would be
Oh edge at every Presidential campaign
Il believe this Federal board would, i'll
the course Of years. grow into the most
powerful political machine the world has
ever seen. Its influence would percOlate
dGRn through the Federal Reserve Bank.
through the members of the local bank
down to every borrower in the land.
The bill has other serious objections.
and it has likewise many things in its
favor. The objection which have point
ed out is one that can be remedied by
amendment but in my judgment, it is |
the greatest defect in the bill

friends and neiEhbors hardly knew me as the

But it wasn't It was simply the little home

And now, we ~ant others to try 1t. We want

! can say that there has not been any
discrimination. There is an understand
ing that the railroads that run into the
station can have space in the station al
lower figure than companies and in
terests less intimately concerned. The
Pullman Company is practically the same
as a railroad company, and think it is
only right they be rented their offices
at lower price than outsiders.
THE increase in the rental of the gov
eminent Is explained by the fact that a
first the Railway Mail Service, had two
rooms there, and recently it was found
that an additional room was necessary
And then, too, while 1 am not prepared
to state the exact rentals charged,
think Mr.. Colpoys is in error in his fig.
ures.
"As TO the men, I can only say that as
far as l know they are perfectly satisfied
with conditions as they are. The men
are paid certain salary to start with
and are raised as they gain proficiency
in the work. We always have been ready
to listen to their requests. and they al
ways have seemed well satisfied"

claiming that the hours of the men
employed in the baggage department
are too long.
The matter of the hours required OF
the bagEagemen will be laid before the
House Committee on Labor in an at
tempt to get an amendment TO the La
Follette-Peters bill requiring that rail-
way employees in the District be given
one day in every seven off from work

station occupied by the Postoffice De-
partment will be brought to the at

kepPcI Issues Denial.
y. NJ Keppel, superintendent of the
Union Station. made a statement last
night an which he denied that there was
discrimination prsctiCed against any &C.
"upant of the building and i'll which he
stated that there was no complaint on
the part Of the baggagemen.
Mr. ColpOys said that the Pullman
Company pays S224.O7 monthly rental for
its offices on the fourth floor. its ticket
office, and yard trackage. while the Post
office Department pays $6S6.7S for a much
smaller space.
He argues that the checkmen in the
baggage room are pSd only about So
per month and required to work seven
DAYS a week. that the truckmcn work
under the same conditions and receive
about 80 per month.
That is less than the street sweepers
are paid. said Mr. Colpoys. The
tuckmen work for less than II cents
per hour. \ building laborer the man
who carries the brick and mortal. is
Paid s. and Sc, and he works eight
hours, while the men at the Union Sta
tion have to work twelve hours a day.
Take the case Of the checkmen. There
ale eleven employed at the station to
handle all of the baggage that passes
through there During August there were
1851 pieces OF baggage handled, making
on an average 5000 pieCCr per day. At
that rate. 400 pieces Of baggage were
handled by each man. You can judge
for yourself that when man has that
much work to do he does not have mucn
time to manicure his finger nails. We
maintain that these hours are as bad as
those eXacted of the men working in the
steel mills. against which the whole
country protested"

POughkeepsie, n. Y. Oct. 5.-By way OF
denial that Acting Gov. Glynn had re-
ceived a copy of an Indictment found
against Harry X. Thaw by the Septem-

District Attorney COnger, of Duchess
County. bearing the date of October l.
in which Mr.. Conger positively said that
no indictment was pending against
Thaw.'
1t now looks as though an attempt
was being made to cover Jerome against
any possible charges which might arise
from his having told Gov. Felkcr. OF New
Hampshire. that Thaw had been indicted
in New York State" said RingwoOd.

Issue Raised Here.

This issue was first raised in Washing
ton. D. c. which diocese recently passed
a resolution which places it on record as
in favor of representa- ton based on men,
bership. The smaller dioceses seem to
fear that if this change is made, il will
place the church of the country entirely
under the control of the New York do
cese, which is the largest in America,
and would virtually establish absolute
control in New York. The clerical and
lay members of the New York diocese
favor the membership representation
basis, but scott at the idea that New
York is seeking any undue control over
the church. or that il would exercise con-
troll even if it had the power.
The question of changing the name of
the church to that of the Catholic Epis-
copal Church of America will be the
subject of perhaps the most spirited con-
troyersy of the convention " The ablest
minds of the church are ranged on both
sides of this controversy, and il is be-
lieved that an effort will be made by
the wiser members of the convention
TO postpone the issue until the next
triennial convention. The feeling of
some of those opposed to the change in
the name is very bitter.
The present president, the Rev. DR..
Randolph II. McKim, Of Washington,
has stated that he will fight from the
floor any effort to change the name of
the church. For this reason the ques-
ton likely will arise when ii comes to
the selecting of DR.. McKim's successor.

general convention takes such action the
United States will be the only country
in the world having such a diocese.
Another subject of discussion, and one
which is likely to introduce much storm
and stress into the proceedings, is the
matter OF representation. II is said
there will be a proposal to base the rep
resentation of each diocese in the gen.
eral convention on the number of its
comr Lnicants instead of giving each a
representation OF four clerical and four
lay members, irrespective OF size. as is
the present custom.
