BY SAFE
MAJORITY
Administration Forces Score
Heavily In Committee
Work on Currency Bill Is Con-
CludGd In Committee.
INSURGENT PROPOSALS LOST

Measure viii Be Reported by the
Committee to the House Democratic
Caucus To Be Held Week From
Monday--Minority Refuses to Give
Up the Fight and viii Submit a
Report.
Washington, Aug. BY a vote Of
Q to the Democrats Of the house
committee on banking and currency
rejected the proposed Pujo committee
amendment to the administration
banking bill prohibiting a member OF
the board of a national bank from
serving in like capacity on the
board Of any other financial institu-
tion. The vote on this proposition
and others taken In the course of the
day showed that the administration
forces control the committee by
safe majority.
Work on the currency bill was con-
cluded In committee. The bill will
come up for discussion in a Demo
cratic caucus to be held on Aug. IL.
Present indications are that II of the
IA Democrats on the committee will
support the measure In caucus. If the
insurgents are unable to make any
better showing In caucus than they
made in committee they will be hope
lessly beaten and the bill will go be-
fore the house with the backing of
both the administration and the party
organization.
Administration leaders are in
haepy frame of mind over the out
come In the house committee. A week
ago the committee appeared to be
hopelessly divided, and fear was eY-
pressed that the administration might
be forced to abandon the plan to put
through a banking reform bill at this
time. While no vote was taken on
the bill as whole In committee,
noses have been counted and the ad-
ministration Is confident of IL OF the
IA committeeman. 1t 10 expected the
insurf ents will put up a lively fight
in caucus, but Leader Underwood has
given assurances that the bill will
emerge unchanged.
The insurgents lost all along the
line. Every one of their proposals
was rejected The Ragsdale-Henry
amendments, which provided among
other things that currency should be
issued on cotton, corn and wheat held
in warehouses, were dropped without
even a division being called for.
Although beaten, the insurgents
have not given up the fight. In add.
ton to the report to be made in be-
half of the majority by Chairman
Glass, a report will be submitted by
them to the caucus,
The complete government control
of the federal reserve board, which
will direct the new banking and cur
rency system, deemed by the presi.
dent the all-important factor of the
currency bill, is retained. At the
eleventh hour the Democratic mem
bers of the committee incorporated
an amendment providing for an ad.
visory board Of bankers to advise the
federal reserve board. This amend.
ment was In the nature of compro-
mise with the banking interests,
which protested vigorously against
the exclusively governmental feature
OF the control OF the board.

Attacks Free Wool.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Another day
in the senate set apart for consider
alton of the Underwood-Simm tar
if bill was consumed mostly by de-
bate, and little progress was made on
the bill. Senator Catron of New Mex
leo made a formal speech, devoting 1t
mostly to condemning free wool. SEN
ator Catron is Republican, but he
declared the Democrats in the west
ern states where sheepmen abound
and wool is produced were of one
voice with the Republicans in con-
demning free wool.
