OWEN ENDORSES
AMENDMENTS TO
THE CURRENCY BILL
Would Change Reserve Sec
tion-Bankers Claim the
Amendment Vital to
Credit System

Washington, August 9.--Amendments to
the reserve section OF the administra-
tion currency bils which many bankers
say are vital to the continuance of pres
ent credit conditions under the proposed
new currency system, have been tenta-
lively indorsed by Chairman owen of the
Senate banking committee, and may be
incorporated In the bill before it passes
either House.
Bankers who conferred yesterday with
Secretary McAdoo about government de-
posits in western banks, took opportunity
to impress upon the secretary and Chair
man Owen the demand of the banking
interests for modification of the reserve
restrictions of the bill. Senator owen said
TO-DAY he was inclined to favor amend
ments suggested by the bankers. reducing
somewhat the reserve which banks would
he required to keep. Some bankers at
the conference declared 5000, 900, ,000 in loans
would have to be called by big banks if
reserve deposits of outside banks they
now hold We're withdrawn.
The proposal of the bankers is to reduce
from Is per cent to 12 per cent the re-
serve required of country banks, and re-
duced from 20 per cent to Is per cent the
reserves required of banks in reserve
cities.
Reduction of Reserves
In suggesting the reductions of reserves.
the bankers asked that the country banks
be permitted to keep 4 per cent of their
reserves with correspondent banks and
that reserve city banks be authorized to
place per cent of their reserves with cor
respondents. 1t was declared that this
would prevent drastic decentralization of
credits which would compel banks to cur
tail loans. AS result of the strong rep
reservations OF the bankers, that the re-
serve features as now drawn would seri-
ously impair business, their recommen-
dations in this respect are being favorably
considered.
Senator Owen declared today that a sec
ond proposal by the bankers, to give the
proposed advisory board sole power of in
litiative in the new federal reserve sys-
tenn would not be considered He insisted
that IL would take control of the system
out of the hands of the government and
virtually turn it over to the control OF
banking interests.
The bill has been completed by the
House committee and will be laid before
the caucus of House democrats Monday
The changes suggested at the bankers
meeting yesterday probably will be consid-
cred by the caucus.

L. B. Rainey of Gadsden, attorney and

you are a negro or a white man. WIN
you please give me this information? In
your letter you say in drawing the color

"A e. Pillsbury, Beacon St., Boston,
Mass.
Dear Sr:-Your letter under date July

every southern member of the American
Bar association, has been received. Sec

IA few months ago received what you
term the remonstrance of ex-President
Storey but properly designated 1t con-
sists OF a piece of pure white paper
smeared with the spleen and excretion
of sectional hate from the morbid corpus
of that disgruntled old fossil. And you
were invited to Join in that remon-
STRANGE? The invitation was, indeed, ap-
propriate, and you have, in fact, Joined In.
mo doubt your letter was intended as
an affront to every southern member of
the American Bar association just as the
letter of ex-President Storey was in
tended II such was your intent, you
have missed your mark, for your arrows,
clipped as they are In poison, venom and
hate, could not carry far enough for the
bow, which you represent. Is too
weak and feeble If it was your ex-
pectation to find us PROSTATE and bleed
ing as a result of your shot you are
sadly disappointed; for on the contrary,
assure you sir, there is more pleasure
in my heart than pain, more joy than
sorrow, and the fact that you have sew
Bar association meets my hearty approval
and / am sure that hundreds of other
members are equally gratified. At the
time I Joined the association l did not
know that negroes had been smugged
across the lines. did not know at that
time that you and ex-Prcsident Storey
were buccaneers and filibusters. When
the fact came to me that negroes were in
the association, at once prepared my
resignation. but did not forward same, as
I learned that at Milwaukee the move
would be made to oust the negro members.
That move was made. and successfully
so. i am very proud now that / am a
member of the American Bar association.
1t AFFORDS me pleasure and happiness
when I know that men of your character
are also eliminated from that associa-
ton Perhaps / should not dignity you
with an answer to your letter, but my
exultation over the fact that both you
and the negroes are out compes me to
give vent to my exurbent feelings. We
would do justice by the negro and we
propose to treat him fairly and justly.
but when 1t comes to making of him a
boon companion and sleeping and eat
ing with him. we draw the line. Wherein
we differ from you. Let me say in con-
clusion that thank you from the bot
ten of my heart that you have dissolved
your relations with the American Bar
association, and that with you go also
your negro friends. Very truly yours
