DIAMOND MERCHANTS
Established 1887 . 31 33 Whitehall Street. Atlanta, Ga.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 22.—A
unanimous consent agreement
was reached in the House this
afternoon to debate the currency
bill for one hour on each side
after the conference report on the
measure t& brouaht in.
Majority Leader Underwood
stated that he was assured by
Chairman Glass that the report
would be presented in th e House
at 3:30 o'clock. Minority Leader
Mann agreed with Underwood
and Progressive Leader Murdock
to hold a night session if neces
sary to dispose of the report at
once.
WASHINGTON, Dor. 2” The Ad
ministration's currency bill probably
will be enacted into law before nigh'..
The last obstacles In its path were
swept away at a long night session <*f
the House and Senate conferees,
which ended at 3 o’clock this morn
ing
The only action necessary to make
the measure a law is acceptance by
tte two housPH of the conference re
port and President Wilson’s signa
ture.
Important action was taken by the
conferees in the closing hours of their
long session, in which they were aided
by the advice of Secretary of Hie
Treasury McAdoo. The House cjn-
ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid
ing for the guarantee of national banK
deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes as
reserves of member banks.
A compromise was reached on a
matter that has caused hitter fighting
when it was agreed that the Comp
troller of the Currency shall be a
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
but that the Secretary of Agriculture
shall not serve on the board.
The House had fought to have both
officials made ex-officio members of
the board, and succeeded In securing
an agreement to have tlrem made
members of the organization commit
tee.
The question of retiring 2 per cent
bonds caused sharp discussion, and it
was finally decided to retire them two
years after the inauguration of .ho
new system, $25,000,000 worth to be
retired annually. They shall be taken
over from national banks by reserve
banks.
For one-half of the bonds so taken
reserve banka will Issue notes similar
to those of national banks.
The conferees were worn out by
their arduous work, but stuck to the
task until it was finished, having re
solved to complete the work so that
Congress might adjourn over the hol
idays. As fast as an agreement was
reached on the various provisions and
a page of the bill disposed of it was
rushed to the Government printery for
preparation.

President Wilson expects to keep

executive business, although the im

eral Reserve Board

Says “Hard-Times” Prophets
Must Keep Busy—Pleased Over
Anti-Trust Situation.
WASHINGTON, Dpi-. 22.—Presl-
dent Wilson paid his compliments to
"calamity howlers" to-day when, he
indicated to callers at the White
House that the nation understands It
is the duty of "hard-times prophets"
to keep busy always.
The President expressed himself as
deeply pleased over the evident incli
nation of the business interests of the
natkn to conform to the provisions of
the Sherman anti-trust act. but de
clined to make a specific statement on
the business conditions of the coun
try at the present time.
He was asked if he knew of any
other corporations that were making
ready to follow' the voluntary disso
lution move of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
He had none specifically in mind,
he said, and reiterated his belief that
interests generally would adjust
themselves to legal requirements.
That the Government naturally is
willing to co-operate with all busi
ness men who desire to obey the la w
Is self-evident, according to Presi
dent Wilson's views. He has gained
an impression from members of his
Cabinet and many members of Con
gress that business men in general
are more than willing to reorganize
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and said the agreement as to
the dissolution of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, em
phasizes this impression.
