No Remedial Legislation Hopes In Congressional Pension Debate
James J. Cikily Combitelts of the Currency says little hope remains for remedial financial legislation. The House passed a coin bill but with unsatisfactory provisions, and Senate action is uncertain. Any approved form may include a silver amendment, affecting how bonds are funded, possibly reducing relief if gold is withdrawn from the Treasury. The outcome hinges on whether the Senate passes a suitable measure and on the broader currency outlook.

Government Ownership Proposal for Pacific Railroads Foreclosure Plan
Washington January 14 The proposal by Mr Shafroth of Colorado introduces a Pacific railroad foreclosure template. It envisions government ownership if titles revert to the government, and a new board appointed by the President. The plan would convey property to the United States and issue fifty year three percent bonds to cover railroad indebtedness. Stock would be sold at public auction to repay government debt, then a new corporation would emerge and the government railroad company would convey rails after stock surrender.
