AMENDMENT
Currency Committeeman
Want Machine Finished.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21-An amend
ment to the pending currency bill, pro-
viding for the completion of the ma
chinery of the new banking and cur
rency system before any part of it is
set in operation will be adopted by the
senate banking and currency commit
tee, according to opinions expressed
by a majority of the committee today
The economic cause of the amend
ment lies in the alleged need of banks
for an institution to rediscOunt paper
for them, simultaneously with their
transfer of capital to the proposed fed
eral reserve banks. AS a safeguard
against business disturbance the
amendment is regarded as one of ma
terial Importance in the initiation of
the new system.
