CAUCUS To GET
CURRENCY BILL
Members of Committee Decide
to Allow Themselves Two
More Weeks in Which to
Discuss the Measure.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Demo-
Gratis of the house banking and cur
rency committee Monday agreed TO
allow themselves two weeks more of
wrangling over the administration
currency bill. Two weeks from Mon
dav a democratic house caucus will
receive the measure is an finished
shape as the committee members can
arrive at.
After three hours of argument at
which various plans for disposing OF
the measure were discussed. the dem
ocratic committee members voted to
authorize the chairman to ASK for
a caucus of the party to be called on
August IL to act upon such report
on the pending currency bill as Will
then be made" Further than this
the members directed the chairman
to make public no details or What
took place at the meeting.
The supporters of the administra-
ton. having failed, in weeks OF dis
cussion and argument TO win over
three or four opponents of the meas
ure among the democrats of the COM
mittee have decided to proceed with
out them and allow those dissatis-
fed with the measure to carry their
fight to the house caucus. This will
throw into the caucus the entire fight
over the so-called insurgent amend
ments providing for cotton. corn and
wheat currency" as framed by Rep.
Henry of Texas and Rep. Ragsdale
of South Carolina.
These amendments with the other
insurgent propositions will undoubt-
ediy be voted down by the conference
Of the committee members by vote
OF about IL to three. This vote would
not be sufficient to overcome the vote
OF the insurgent democrats and the
minority members in the full COM
nnittee. Therefore the measure will
ba taken directly 10 the caucus.
Mondays entire session of the con-
ference was spent in a discussion OF
whether the proceedings OF the meet
ings should be made public.
After considerable argument the
conference rejected a proposition to
throw open the doors Of the commit
tee room and allow the debate to be
made public The vote was six TO six
and Chairman Glass cast the deciding
vote against the open door policy. II
was then voted TO enjoin secrecy as TO
the proceedings on every member Of
the conference.
Pres. Wilson and Chairman Glass
Of the house committee and Chair
man Owen of the senate committee
believe that they will De able TO get
the measure through both house and
senate with the essentials practically
unchanged. even though considerable
opposition will be met at every step
and considerable delay encountered.

IN REPUBLICAN,
RANKS ON TARIFF
Dozen Progressive Republicans
Begin Conferences to Per-
feet Suitable Substitute
Schedules.

WASHINGTON, July ga divis-
ion in the ranks of republican sena-
tors over the tariff revision fight be-
came apparent Monday when nearly
dozen progressive republicans attended
a series of conferences to perfect sub
stitute schedules that will be offered
to the tariff bill under the leadership
of Senators LaFollette and Cummins.
The progressive republican move
has grown out of the decision of lead
ing senators identified with that fac
ton that they would be unable to sup
port Sen. SmOots substitute for the
wooden tariff. The SmOot substitute
was prepared sometime ago, and in
trOduced at the time the democratic
tariff bill came back from the finance
committee. The progressive republi-
cans have practically agreed TO cen
ter their fight on the LaFOllette
substitute in the hope that they can
carry the balance of the republican
party with them and possibly win
some democrats away from Pres. VIII
sons free wool plan.
Progress on the tariff bill was slow
in the senate Monday. Prepared
speeches were made by Senators
Townsend and Warren, republicans,
and short debates occurred through
out the afternoon upon specific items
which the republicans held TO be too

The progressive republican forces
so far have shown no disposition on
the floor of the senate 10 break with
their republican associates except in a
few votes where they joined the dem
ocrats in support of lower duties. The
conferences which began Monday
however. are expected TO sOlidify the
progressive element and 10 bring
about a new alignment Of the re-
publican forces.
Sen. LaFOllette's cotton and wool
substitutes and Sen. Cummins' metal

at the conference Monday. and prob
ably will be supported by the pro-
gressives. 1t is said that a substitute

a long line of strikers headed by Mrs.
Nina Gioga, carrying IA large Amer

the Western Federation of Miners
mounted stumps and congratulated
the union men on their showing.
No organized disorder took place
Monday, but there were several COM

threats had been made against them:
and at least two members Of the To-
cal militia company were warned that
reprisals would follow a continuance
of their military activities. One re-
ceived an anymous letter, and the
widowed mother of the other was
called upon by several men who told
her she might expect trouble for her
son unless he deserted his company.
