Faets for Penrose.

When Senator Stone charged the
Republican senators with spreading
alarm as to the tarin with the inten-
tion OF bringing on panic Senator
Penrose replied that the tarih bill
was already closing steel mills in
Pennsylvania, and cited instances
which he said proved his assertion.
Just before the senator made that
assertion the United States Steel cor
poration reported that the June quar-
ter was the best the company had
had since 1907. On the day he made
his assertion the American Sheet and
Tin Plate company announced an ad-
vance In wages In all Of its plants
On that same day the Bethlehem
Steel company, which has its princi-
pal shops in Senator Penrose's state.

plant which will cost s5.00U.o0o.

talking The Iron Trade Review was
going to press with the following:

The crying need for some such bin
overpowers objections to It. The AID
-vreeland currency act expires by
Limitation June 80, 1914. On that
date, unless this administration bill
passes, the country goes back to the
system prevailing in the Roosevelt
panic OF 1907, when practically every
bank in the United States suspended
specie payment-a system under
which the prosperity of the country
is at the mercy Of any clique Of Wall
street gamblers.
Confronted by such q choice. the
most opinionated senator is likely ts

currency legislation shall pass which
does not satisfy him At every point.
No ono pretends that the admins
