Democrats Agree to Make
Currency Bill a Party
Measure
AND TO SIT
THROUGH HOLIDAYS
If Measure Is Not Passed
Before - Democrats See
Threatened Depression

Washington, Nov. 2s.--The lure OF
the Thanksgiving turkey last night
made the first break in the Democratic
Senate program devised to rush the cur
rency bill through.
After working all day with slim
attendance the conference OF Senate
Democrats declined to hold to the SEIZED
ule of night sessions.
More than third of the bill was
gone over Yesterday and a number OF
minor amendments made, but no essen
tial change was ordered. The admins
tration plan for regional banks was I'M
changed.
This activity yesterday was due to
the agreement reached at the Democratic
conference Wednesday when extreme
measures were decided upon by the Dem
oerats to force the currency reform bill
to an early vote. Determined to pre-
vent curtailment of business activity
and to relieve the uncertainty in finan-
cial circles as to what form currency leg
islation is to take, the Democrats agreed
to make the bill party measure at
once; to have no Christmas recess unless
the measure has been passed before the
time set for the holiday and to sit day
and night until final action is secured.
These decisions were reached at a confer
ence that began in the morning and was
resumed at night.
The Senate leaders, working in har-
mony with President Wilson and his adj
visors, decided to sit behind closed doors
for the balance of the week, not ex-
eepting Thanksgiving day, until an
agreement can be reached upon the
pending bill that will insure united sup
port for it in the Senate.
The fight viii be transferred to the
Senate floor Monday, and from that
time forward daily sessions will be held

Demand Immediate Action.
Immediate action on currency legis-
lation is demanded, said Senator Sim
mons. at the close of the conference, TO
relieve the uncertainty that exists
throughout the business world. There
has been cessation of activity IN many
lines of business because Congress has
not vet made clear its intention as TO
currency revision. We have determined
to act at once and without further delay
than may be necessary for honest de-
bate"
"The Senate has no right to hold up
the business of the country, said SEN
ator James, another who took part in
the conference. "The country demands
action at once on currency legislation"
The decision of the Democrats to make
the currency bill party measure sur
prised and aroused the Republicans.
"This is merely a political move"
said Senator Smoot, one of the minority
leaders. ut is designed to make it APP
pear that the Republicans in the Senate
are obstructing currency legislation.
This is not the case. | am convinced
that proceeding in the normal way we
would have reached vote earlier than
we will under this forced process. The
Democrats who are urging this un-
wonted industry win have to keep a
quorum present. Legislation that is so
important as to keep the Senate in ses-
sion from Is to 10 hours day ought to
be considered by full quorum"
Program Is Strenuous.
The two resolutions adopted by the
Democratic conference outlined the most
exacting legislative program attempted
in the Senate in recent years. One, pre-
scented by Senator O'Gorman of New
York, provided that il was the sense OF
the conference that beginning Monday,
Dec. /. the Senate should meet at 10 in
the morning, sit until 8 in the evening
resume after a two-hour dinner recess
and continue until IL, until the cur
rency bill is disposed OF" 1t further set
forth that unless the bill is out OF the
way, no holiday recess shall be taken,
except an adjournment from Dec. "a to
Dec 20, over Christmas day. Not even
New Years will be holiday unless the
bill is passed before then,
The second resolution, presented by
Senator Reed of Missouri, made the cur
rency bill party measure. IL pro-
vided that the Democrats in conference
should meet beginning this afternoon
and by Saturday night should complete
the consideration of the bill. Because OF
the absence of Senator Hitchcock, the
only Democratic member who has held
out against the administration bill, it
was expected that the Democrats of the
banking and currency committee would
have little difficulty in committing the
caucus to the support of the draft OF
the measure presented by Senator Owen.
The Senate adjourned until Saturday
to allow the Democratic conference time
to work on the currency bill.

WHY oppoSI, SprSs.RD,

The Clifton Forge Review states that
forces are At work 70 prevent the Gle
walton OF Mr.. Spcssard to the head of
the House Committee on Finance. 1t
gives rs the reason for this Mr. SPECS
sard's known sympathy with the cle-
mentary schools OF the state rs op-
posed 10 the institutions for higher
education, and it declares that the
friends OF the latter are uniting TO de-
feat him
We have heard rumors to this effect,
hut have never regarded them seri-
ously. Nh spessard is the ranking
mcmher OF the committee, now that
Colonel Bowman has died and Mr..
Jennings has been defeated. To re
place him would be to violate "a pre-
ccdent OF long standing-a precedent
that has long operated to keep politics
from committee appointments.
Besides, The Times Dispatch does not
think plan TO Gust MIR spessard Is
fair /, is true that his is some

ways approved measures, which the
majority has regarded as wise and
timely. II IS also true that Mr. Spes-
sard has been independent in some
Of his votes and has not considered

things should not deny him fair treat
