Democratic Leaders Threaten
Extra Hours Unless There Is
Less WrangIing.

Determined to get the Administration
currency bill out of caucus this week,
the Democratic House leaders will insist
upon night sessions of the caucus unless
the flow of oratory is checked. The per-
spring and wrangling Democrats were
kept plugging, away at the currency
problem until late hour last night, but
comparatively little progress was made
on the bill.
The discussion yesterday afternoon
and last night centered about the Bulk
ley amendment, which proposed to
strike from the bill the provision that
the Federal reserve banks shall pay in
terest on Government deposits.
Another night session is in prospect
tonight unless material headway Is made
on the bill late this afternoon.
