The only action necesaary to make

ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid

deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes is
reserves of member banka
A compromise was reached on a
matter that has caused bitter fighting
when It was agreed that I he Comp
troller of the Currency shall be \
member of the F< deral Reserve Board,
but that the Secretary of A«ri< ultiff'-
•hall not serve on the board.
The House had fought to hSve both

an agreement to have them made
members of the organization commit*

The conferees were worn out by I
their arduous work, but stuck to the j
task until It was finished, having re
solved to complete the work so that ;
Congress might adjourn over the hoi - j
idays. As fa at as an agreement was
reached on the various provisions and
a page of the bill disposed of It was
rushed to the Government prlntery for j

The Georgia Supreme Court is one
of the hardest worked tribunals in the
Union and it i« one of the most
markedly underpaid.
Only about half of the Georgia
Congressional delegation will return
to Georgia for the Christmas holi-

This Is very unusual, of course, and
is occasioned by the long extra ses

the regular aession a few weeks ago.

In Washington, and now that the time
for "a run home fit Christmas" is at
hand, the Christmas doings all have
been framed up for Washington, and
there is nothing to run home to.
This means, too, that campaigns
for re-election to Congress must lie
conducted largely from Washington.
The regular session will run cer
tainly well along toward June, if not

possible to keep the thermometer on

would register considerably higher.

President Wilson is now willing to
listen to financial reason. The Wash
ington dispatches thst he granted
a 30-minute interview with James
Bpeyer, the international hanker,
have been accepted as an encourag
ing omen, for heretofore the door of
the White House had been regarded
as closed to any citizen identified
with Wall street
• • •
Mr. Speyer is one of the most level
headed. democratic, hroad-mirtded
financiers America can boast His
sympathies are not confined to high
finance. He takes a broad-gauge,
long-range view of economic prob
lems. To him workers are not mere
animated machines. mere automa
tons They are human beings, cast
in the same mould as himself He is
active in charities and in organiza
tions that deal wdth the unemployed.
• • #
It is to be presumed, therefore,
that in his talk with the President,
Mr Speyer did not fail to emphasize
the need for straining every effort
to stem the onrushlng tide of un
employment. I discussed this phase
of the situation with Mr. Speyer re
cently, and I know he regards it as
most Important and as demanding
the most serious consideration. As
a director of concerns employing
many thousands of men. Mr. Speyer
naturally has first-hand knowledge
of Industrial conditions.
• • •
Mr. Bpeyer Is even more intimate
ly identified with railroad systems.
None knows better than he the plight
Into which the railroads are sinking.
It is believed and hoped in finan
cial circles that Mr Speyer could
hot have neglected the opportunity
to Impress upon the administration
the actual railroad status to-day and
the outlook for to-morrow if things
continue in their present direction.

Henry Walters, financier and rail
road authority, recently remarked to
a friend. I am told, that there were
28 railroads, big and little which
would fall Into receivers’ hands were
nothing done to stop the current
trend. lie had the names of the 28
at the tip of his tongue.
• • ♦
[vast week I made « public plea to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to forego part of their holidaying,
take off their coats and get to busi
ness in dealing with the Eastern
railroad*' request for higher freight
rates. I would repeat that exhorta
tion with even greater earnestness
now The prevailing uncertainty is
paralyzing. It should not be pro
longed one unnecessary day. Con
ditions are unhappy enough without
needlessly aggravating them by a
dilly-dallying, what s-the-hurry pol
icy in so grave and pressing a mat

Aren't a revolutionary new tariff
and an impending new currency law
unsettling Influences enough for the

gratuitous acts of omission or com

If the entente cordials could only
be firmly established between those
who employ men and those who are
running the Government, a return of
confidence would he greatly has
tened.
• * •
Unfortunately, the Treasury De
partment is at loggerheads with
banking Interests and has followed
a policy that has evoked widespread
criticism. The Intimation that whole
sale, country-wide prosecution of
bankers is being planned by Treasury
officials Is construed as a fresh indi
cation of the relations between the
department and those who manage
the banking business of the land. So
long as a spirit of hostility exists, the
possibilities of an unsettling rupture
will not be dismissed from mind.
• * *
May It not be that President Wil
son will take a hand in smoothing
out existing wrinkles in the general
situation? The financial community
has more faith in him than in the
majority of his Cabinet.

Even a rumor that real heavy
weights would be chosen as mem
bers of the Federal Reserve Roard.
the overlords of the nation’s new
banking system, was accepted grate
fully by financial circles yesterday.
The rumor, however, vas very thin.
It named James J. Hill as prospec
tive chairman of the board. Mr. Hill
months ago declared he would NOT
accept a position on the board Paul
M Warburg was given as another
selection. Mr. Warburg told me yes
terday afternoon that the news was
news to him—that, indeed, he didn't
believe it was news, only talk.
• • •
If the Government could induce
men of Mr. Warburg's caliber to Join
the Federal Reserve Roard, even if
for only the first year, our national
bankers would lose much, if not all,
of their nervousness over the admln-
Btr&tion of the new lyStSBl.

GRAIN NOTES.
Bartlett-Frazier Company says;
“Wheat -The continuance of a dull
but steady market Is probable during
the next few days.
“Com—The market as a whole does
not yield readily to bearish sentiment
and reacts easily from an oversold con
dition.
“Oats—Competition from Canada in
the cash department is causing a re
newal of bearish feeling and inducing
some short selling.
"Provisions—The market generally is
In no way weak.”
