CURRENCY BILL is PUSHED
Wilson and Owen Confer and An
nounce Changed Glass Meas
ure viii Be Enacted.

Washington, July 22.-There will be
no change IN administration plans for
enactment of currency law at the
present session of congress. This
was indicated by President Wilson
and Senator Owen, chairman of the
senate committee on banking and cur
rency, after a conference at the White
House.
The president said he was satisfied
with the speed with which the ad.
ministration bill was being handled.
He was confident of the passage OF
the Glass bill, with changes proposed
by the house committee. One change
recommended would permit national
banks 20 continue to use the 2 per
cent government bonds for circulation.
Mr.. Glass gave out the text of
revision OF the note issue section of
the bill. This would provide that fed
eral reserve banks must carry in their
vaults as a reserve gold or gold GER
tifcates to the amount of 80 l-3 per
cent of the treasury notes over notes
issued by the bank.
The bill originally called for this
reserve lin gold or lawful money
After discussion ii was agreed to
change this to prevent accumulation
of greenbacks and silver dollars in
the reserve.
