The Administration Monsy Measure
Now Ready to Be Pressntsd
to .the House.
Washington. An undercurrent ' ' of
opposition among a considerable num
ber of house Democrats to this, ses
sion ot congress took definite shape,
when Representative Henry of Texas,
chairman of the powerful rules com
mittee, openly charged that Wall
street was back of the propaganda tor
currency legislation. '
While favoring revision of the bank
ing and currency laws at the next ses
sion of congress,. Mr. Henry insisted
that fnrthr investigation of the SO-
called "money trust", should be imme
diately pressed. The Pujo committee,
he declared, barely scratched the sur
face of the facts underlying the con
centration of control of money and
credit, because the controller of the
niimtncv refused access to his records,
making it Impossible for the Investi
gators "to completely expose me ex-liittns-
relations between the Wall
street bankers and their allies with
the trusts and monopolies, stock gam
blers and financial conspirators."
"Wall street bankers," he added,
"now are demanding legislation on the
currency question In order that they
ma V make a market for their com
mercial paper, much ot it based on
rotten securities, and nare curren
cy issued on their asests."
Mr. Henry introduced a bill to
amend the banking laws, so as to
make banking associations subject to
tha irinitorial cowers, "exercised or di
rected," by congress or by either
house of oongress.
