Bryan aids currency bill in tight Senate finance fight
Secretary Bryan lines up with Representative Underwood in favor of the administration currency bill and against Texas Democrat Henry’s opposition. The day’s debate centered on interlocking directorates in national banks. Bryan urged Democrats to back the president and avoid amendments that might delay passage, while Underwood pressed to refer the issue to the judiciary committee. A large vote backed Underwood’s motion, and Glass then endorsed the current form of the bill. Final changes focus on credit for agricultural paper and further amendments to interlocking directorates.
