MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
FACE VERY BUSY WEEK
Tariff Consideration Probably
Will be Completed.
CURRENCY BILL MOVES.
House Will Take Up the Latter
Measure in Detail-A Full
Debate.

Washington, Sept. 14.-With the

settling points in the tariff bill in dis
agreement between the two houses.
have made much progress. Senator
Simmons and Representative Under
wood are confident that the coming
week will see all differences settled
and little difficulty is expected in Sc
curing the adoption of the conference
report.
The house this week will take up
the currency bill in detail. Republi-
cans and ProgreSSives set forth at
great length last week their obiec-
tions to the measure. and the Demo
Gratis entered their answers. With
much of argument out of the wav
the measure now will be taken up FOR
amendment and although the approv-
al of the Democratic caucus is eX-
pected to prevent any changes. va
rious attempts will be made to alter
provisions most bitterly attacked.
POINTS OF ATTACK.
The section providing that ma
tional banks shall subscribe 20 per
cent of their capital and per cent
OF their deposits to the proposed fed
eral reserve banks, and the provis-
ions making reserve bank notes gov
eminent obligations, will be principal
points of attack
Attempts will be made to limit the
broad powers now conferred by the
bill on the federal reserve board.
Majority Leader Underwood homes

week, however, and send it to H.
senate.
Members OF both houses make no
concealment Of their fatigue from the
prolonged session. Those upon the
finance and ways and means com
mittees have suffered most Sena-
tors on the conference committee met
their fellows from the house on the
last legislative step of the tariff bills

has seldom been equalled. MANY
were so tired last night that Chair
man Simmons and Majority Leader
Underwood found ii necessary to take
an early adjournment and abandon
any thought OF a Sunday session.
HOUSE MAY REST.
The house, while the senate is dis
cussing its idea of currency reform
may make an arrangement for a re.
cess and vacation, but for senator's
life in Congress now has nothing in
sight but work, and a holiday al
Christmas may be the first Ions
breathing spell.
The senate banking committee will
resume hearing bankers, financial
experts and merchants Tuesday
when the first OF II witnesses viii

back to this city will be taken today,
when, at the instance of the Walnut
Street Business Association. officers and
representatives of a number of busi-
ness and professional! organizations will
hold a conference to discuss the subject
at the Bellevue-Stratford.
The business men deem this n most op-
perfume time for putting forth their ef-

minds OF those who attended the game
