Lively Speculation
Gu Currency Bill.

Washington, Nov. 3.-There was lively
speculation among senators generally,
today, as to what would occur when the
Senate committee resumed consideration
of the administration currency BILL on
wednesday. 35ssza -
The freedom with which Democratic
senators discussed the possibility of a
caucus to ensure harmonious ana early
action led to the belief that such a plan
might yet be adopted by the admins
tration supporters in order to prevent
radical changes in the bill by the COM
mittee.
Chairman owen said after a confer
ence at the White House that report
would be forthcoming. in a few days.
Senators Thomas and Overman also
discussed the currency situation with the
President.
Wait until Wednesday," remarked
Senator Overman, as he left the execu-
tive offices.
The President is awaiting tomor-
rows election in New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and Maryland and it is said
that ii they result in Democratic vic
tories, he will feel stimulated to urge
with renewed vigor early action on the
House bill.
The President made it plain, today.
that he would stand by the bill as it
PASSED the House and would not con-
sent TO any changes in fundamentals.

ST. Paul, Mimi. Nov. 3.--Edward p.
Grosvenor,. concluding theIirst portion
of his final argument for the govern
ment in the suit to dissolve the Inter
national Harvester Co., this afternoon,
declared tc judges of the United States
district court, that unless the "Har-
vester Trust" is disintegrated two fam
lies, within q few years. will own a
monopoly of every implement made in
this country for the American farmer.
The special assistant to Attorney Cen
eral McReynoids specified Cyrus Nc
Cormick and James Deering of Chi
cago, as the heads of these families
and characterized them as willing to
use their great power to fix prices ana
int;midate local dealers as means OF
crushing competition
Then with dotted maps of the agri-
cultural states of this country, Mr.
Grosvenor showed the location of 49,
600 local agents or dealers which, he
declared, is but a portion of the vast
selling machinery dominated by the
international Harvester Co. Through
the medium of the general sales COM
mittee of the corporation, said Mr..
Grosvenor, acting director through a
district manager, the local dealer was
forced to accept the dictates of the
trust" or be crushed. Also, the feder-
al lawyer said, the local dealer was
used to keep the corporation informed
Of competition.

venor, by evidence which cannot BIZ
disputed, that Cyrus Mccormick
James Deering and Harold F. McCor'
mick, acting as members of this gener.
al sales committee. have approved di

corporations managers or employees
and in doing so we have established
beyond any doubt, the choice of thes'
people and that choice SUCH as to maxi
