which publicity has been given.
Secretary Wilson stated today that
his labor record Is an open book. He
said his appointment to the cabinet

further that his labor record and the
report record in the case were both
available for President Wilson's in

RADICALS STILL
ARE BEtL|COSE
MAY BE UNABLE TO PASS CUR
RENCY MEASURE AT THIS
SESSION.

WASHINGTON, July 6,--Demo-
cratic leaders fear that unless present
differences are reconciied the plan of
the administration 20 have congress
pass a banking and currency reform
law at this session will have to be
abandoned The administration bill
has been in the hands Of the house
committee on banking and currency
more than two weeks and yet the
Dem ocrats of that organization have
so far found itself impossible to agree
even on a method of procedure.
At the meeting a week ago there
was a long squabble over the question
of procedure, Chairman Glass and
other conservative Dem ocrats insisted
1t would be waste of time to grant
hearings to persons interested. On the
other hand certain radicals declared
they were seeking light on the ques-
ton and they had hoped to get 1t
through the medium OF hearings ac-
corded bankers and business men gen.
orally.
House leaders admit that unless a
strong hand is laid on the situation
there is no hope for banking and cur
rency legislation at this time.
A few days after the publication Of
ttc Giass-Cwan bin President WILL
son invited Democratic members OF
the committee to the White House
The object was to start a get-together
measure that would result IN prompt
action in committee and in the house.
Statements were made at the time
that the White House conference had
clarified the situation and that an
early report might be expected. 1t
developed. however, last Monday that
the radicals were still in bellicose
frame of mind and the chances are
that the house leaders will soon notify
the president in a tactful way that it
is his duty to straighten out the
tangles in committee. As matters now
stand many friends of the bill regard
it as a hopeless proposition.
