House Democrats Resume
Caucus on Currency Bill;
lnsurgent Leaders Active

Following a talkative session yester-
dav afternoon. during which an agree
ment was reached to have Eight hours
general debate" tGe Democrats of the
House resumed their currency caucus
at o'clock today. When the caucus
met the inTurgent leaders. Congressman
Henry, Ragsdale. Neeley. and Eagle.
were scheduled for a comeback at the
opening speech of Mr.. Glass, who de-
Tended the Administration bill for
nearly tw Ohours yesterday.
The so-called insurgents will mako
persistent efforts to amend the bill when
its reading is begun. Meanwhile, there
will be six hours of heated discussion
about currency questions in general.
The House adjourned early today IN
order that the chamber might be utilized
by the caucus. When Majority Leader
Underwood suggested an early adjourn
ment, Mr. Mann. the minority leader,
wanted to know If the currency bill
would be ready for report to the House
by Friday.
Mr.. Underwood said he did not know.
but II was hoped to complete the meas
ure by that time. He explained, now
ever, that there was a possibility tho
bill would not come from caucus before
Saturday.
Behind Closed Doors.
The caucus is being held behind closed
vote of 1I9 to 63 a resolution by Mr..
Neeley to throw open the doors.
In the caucus yesterday the initial
skirmish justified predictions that the
chief fight is over the proposed Rags
dale-Henry amendment for an agricul-
tural credit currency
Mr.. Glass was forced repeatedly to
answer the contention that the Glass
owen bill discriminates against the
faruar in favor of the sO-Called not
| ten assets of the bank. Mr.. Henry OF
Texas who contends that the products
OF the farm are not recognized In the
Administration currency schelne'
whereas the rotten securities OF the
banks are given privileged status, was
frequently on his feet firing questions
at the nervous chairman OF the Bank
ing and Currency Committee.
Glass Defends Measure.
Mr.. Glass insisted that the bill as
drawn provided for loans and redis-
counts of commercial paper" backed
by the chief products Of the farm
cotton. corn and wheat. The farmers
note. he insisted. was redisCountable by
the reserve banks, and the Ragsdale-
Henri amendments were superuous.
The insurgents held that the bill as
drawn meant that only short-tlme
paper of the farmer producer was dis
Countable, and no provision was made
for storing in warehouses the products
OF the farm for an indeterminate period.
Chairman Glass retOrted that II the
Government encouraged loans and re-
discounts on warehouse receipts, II
meant the fostering OF speculation by
the farmer and placed the Government
in an attitude of lending money in
order that the producer might hold his
products indefinitely for a rise in
prices.

PRESIDENT MAY RUN
INTO CURRENCY SNAG
Mutterings Of Opposition to
Action This Session Grow
Louder in Senate.

Mutterings of trouble for the Ad-
minstration in its plan to force cur
rency legislation through Congress this
session are getting louder in the Sen
ate.
While President Wilson processes the
utmost confidence in his ability to force
the legislation through, recent develop
ments in the Senate make the outlook
seem less certain than the White
House appears to believe It is.
The uncertainty arises from the fact
that a number of strong Democrats in
the Senate are utterly opposed to cur
rency legislation this session. They are
confiding their views to Republicans,
and are quietly welcoming any plan to
put currency over until the next ses-
sion.
1t is declared in well-informed quar-
ters about the Senate today that once
the tariff bill is out of the way a num-
ber Of Democratic Senators will come
out in the open and trv to get the
session adjourned. with currency defer
red until next winter.
Threats of No Quorum.
Threats are even heard that as soon
as the tariff bill Is out of the way. so
many Senators will quit Washington
there will not be a quorum left here to
transact business.
Though 1t is doubtful II such a situa-
ton develops. the uncertainty of driv-
ing a currency bill through has become
such that administration leaders today
were scurrying about in the Senate. try
ing TO strengthen their forces. They
were much concerned over reports thAt
the Republican leaders and some of the
Democrats who want no currency leg
isla ton now had reached an agreement
that currency legislation should be put
over. Investigation failed to verify. that
such an agreement had been reached.

have been under way.

continued to Insist on currency legisla-
