Adjourning Pressure on Currency Bill in Senate Today
Washington May 29 The looming clash over the Aldrich Vreeland currency bill is seen as unlikely to materialize into a fight. Senate leaders prepared to adjourn sine die as both houses near final action on appropriation measures. House and Senate facts indicate ready passage of all reports except the currency bill with a plan to force a vote shortly after conference gains. A Mann bill to regulate wood pulp trade with foreign nations was introduced to seek reciprocal concessions and possible suspension of duties if agreements are reached.
