GOLD COINS AGAIN
CIRCULATING OUT

When the federal reserve bank was
Iorganized instructions were issued to
bankers to withhold gold from dis
tribution and all gold coin taken in
was ordered sent to the federal re-
servo banks. The result was that gold
tcoins practically passed out OF circu-
'lation.
Through an order issued by the fed
erai reserve bank, effective today, gold
coins will not be accepted by tho gov
iernment banking system, except on
weights and finenoss. Coupled with
order is a practical removal of the re-
striction requiring banks to withhold
gold coin from circulation. According
to bankers here, the natural effect OF
this order will be to place gold in
general circulation to save the bankers
from taking a loss on the weight and

Request for Speedy Action

Senator Penrose, who heads the
senate finance committee. after the
former committee had reached its
came the prediction that tho measure
would be rushed thru the house
under n special rule and thru the
senate possibly under limitation of
debate as enforced by cloture.
The new Fordney bill will be pre-
scented with q six months limitation,
but its provisions will expire earlier
should the permanent bill be en-
acted before expiration of the six
months period.
The house ways and means COM
mittee after an all day wrangle ap-
parenly was in the utmost harmony.
Calling in newspapermen at the
close. Chairman Fordney set forth
the fina! program with everybody ex-
pressing approval.
After disposinG of the emergency
measure in the first few days of the
extra session the house will take up
and pass the anti-dumping bill which
will bo followed by the allied mea-
sure. fixing an American valuation
on goods paying advalorem. Then
will come the permanent tariff. which
Republican leaders hope will be
broad enough to satisfy all interests
demanding an upward revision. The
actual work of framing it will begin
tomorrow.
While the house is working on the
tariff. the senate finance committee
will consider revenue revision and its
printed testimony will be available
to the ways and means committee
way Mr.. Fordney predicted congress
would work at high speed. The
house would be considering revenue
while tho tariff vas still before the
senate.

out" said Chairman Fordney and
now have n definite working plan.

Penrose" will bo put thru congress

Tho president stepped into the
fight carly when he telephoned Ford
ney suggesting an emergency mea-
sure be enacted in advance OF tariff
or revenue legislation. The proposal
took the committee off its feet.
There were rumblinEs of disconent
especially among western members
who objected to going before cong
resss a second. time this year to ask
for special bill. Tho president
asked that senate Republicans he
sounded and thero bobbcd up the
fear that without a cloturc rule the
measure might be long delayed.
