Chicago Banks Oppose Aldrich Currency Bill
Chicago bankers widely oppose the Aldrich currency plan arguing it aims to create an artificial market for bonds and would burden national banks with new circulation requirements. They fear limited practical relief and favor West and Midwest interests over eastern bond houses. Secretary Cortelyou seeks space to ease Treasury congestion by moving staff to a smaller building.
