Chamber of Commerce backs report on emergency currency plan
At the first regular meeting in its new Libertyst building, the Chamber of Commerce endorsed a committee report urging wider bank note retirement and a supplementary credit currency backed by commercial and industrial credits. The measure calls for Treasury powers to redefine public money deposits and to coin silver into subsidiary forms while opposing free private deposits without security. The vote favored the report overwhelmingly, with August Belmont dissenting in part.
