SEES LEGAL BAT TILE
ON CURRENCY ISSUE
Bankers Representative Ayers
Fight Will Follow If the Cur
rency Bill Passes.

A big legal fight over the question
whether the Government can force ma
tional banks to go into the proposed
banking system or surrender their char
ters is ahead, il the pending Admins
tration currency bill IL passed. Sol
Wexler. of New Orleans. one Of the
committee of bankers here to repre-
sent the Chicago conference Of bankers
before the Senate Banking and Cur
, rency Committee, said today there was
on doubt that litigation would result.
and 1t would be fought through the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Wexler. as well as many Other
bankers, maintains that each national
bank has a charter for twenty years.
and that the Government cannot force
1t to surrender such charter IL it IL
unwilling to 60 into q system which will,
as the bankers say. mean confiscation
Of property.
The Issue will be Fought out in the
courts. Mr.. Wexler declares. and in the
meantime there Will be uncertainty
whether the banking measure. II 1t
passes as 1t stands, will work or will
not work.
President Stands Firm.
President Wilson is unyielding on
special session. He told callers today
that the arguments now being used by
the bankers before the Senate commit
tee had already been made before the
House committee. The President regards
the present arguments, therefore, as
having been discounted, fnasmuch as
they were considered when the bill was
before the House Banking and Currency
Democrats.
The Senate committee today heard W.
H. Allen. OF Brooklyn. a former mer-
chant. Mr.. Allen declared New York
did not furnish money to the interior to
move crops. and that In recent weeks
money in New York banks had actually
increased: and said this country owed
purchases. travel, and the like. and that
this accounted for, the constant ten
dency Of money in this country to head
for New York.
Wants Hearings Deferred.
After hearing Mr. Allen the commit
tee adjourned until tomorrow morning
Senate on the last day Of the tariff de-
bate. Prof. Sprague. of Harvard, will
continue tomorrow.
Senator Owen will propose to the
President today that the hearings on the
bill be deferred until the House has pass
ed 1t, and ii has gone to the Senate.
In the meantime. after the tariff bill
has passed, until the hearings on the
currency bill have been completed and
the committee reports, there will be, IL
the plan prevails, series OF three-day
adjournments, and Senators can leave
the city and rest.
The Weeks resolution TO defer a re-
port on the currency to December 2.
cannot pass the Senate, but It is learned
1t has a majority in the committee. Sem
ator Crawford is away, but the remain
ing four Republicans. plus Senators.
Hitchcock and O'Gorman. are for the
Weeks resolution. Five Democrats are
against It.
