TO OBEY CURRENCY MANDATE PRESIDENT WILSON REASSURED) BY THE LEADERS. emmy eum if Making Good Progress on Tariff Bill—| Republicans Give Up Use- less Fight. Washington, July 28.—President} Wilson has received further assur ances from leaders in congress that} his program of currency reform will Teceive favorable action at this ses: sion of congress, These assurances have been made in the face of the sharp split among Democrats of the house banking and currency commit- tee and in spite also of the desire of many Democrats in the senate to de lay currency action until the Decem- ber session. Rapid progress has been made on the tariff bill in the senate and the President and his congressional ad- visers have been encouraged at the Prospect of the passage of the tariff bill much earlier than had been ex: pected. Republican senators, defeat:| ed at every turn in their efforts to amend the bill, have given way on much of their proposed opposition; and the Democrats propose to push the revision bill rapidly. While the Democrats of the house currency committee have found it im: possible to agree on the Glass-Owen currency bill, the house leaders and President Wilson believe they can be whipped into shape in a Democratic caucus, if it is necessary to adopt that course. The president has been con: ferring with the so-called “insurgents” one by one, and has secured their views and ascertained the strength of their opposition, It is believed the bill could be taken into a caucus with the backing of the president, Democratic Leader Under wood, Speaker Clark and Chairman Glass and perfected and given indorse ment of the Democratic party. Fur ther efforts will be made to bring the house committee members together on the bill, but if the attempts fail, the administration is prepared to push the currency measure into the house with out delay.
