Wilson supporters' currency measure victory in House
Washington supporters of the administration currency bill scored a major victory in the House by securing an unqualified endorsement from Secretary of State Bryan and defeating insurgent amendments that would have banned interlocking directorates in banks. The House failed to pass a plan to place a Pitt bust in the White House due to Rep. Mann’s objections. Senate confirmed Francis Burton Harrison as governor general of the Philippines, and Wilson might send a message to Congress on negotiations with Huerta. First deposits in the $50 million crop moving fund were made in southern reserve cities including Baltimore and Atlanta. Navy Secretary Daniels ordered punishment for Pacific rioters identified in Seattle, June 18.
