BANKERS F1GHJALDRICH BILL Clalaa latereet Claaao ta Meatsrs Will Wark Haras ta Westera risaace. .CHICAGO. Feb. 27. Coles tbe IV, per ornt tax elause of tbe Aldrlch bill I elim inated a strong fight against th bill will be made by the Chicago banker. This decision was arrived at today, after a three hour' eonfireac. and Isatrue Uons were wired to representative ia Washington to that effect. Th telegram was signed by every national bank in ths city and waa addressed to Senators Mason and Cullom and th nine representatives ta the lower house from Cook county. The following is tbe substance of tbe tel egram: Tbe Aldrieh bill. If passed as It now stands, in our opinion, will cause an im mediate repayment by the banks of a large amount of government depostta which tbey now hold, resulting in contraction of re source now in us and in a reduction In the market value of government bonds which will bo withdrawn and sold. Na tional banks cannot now afford to carry, as an investment, government or such other bonds as the bill rails for, and there would be actual loss to tbem to do so under the terms of the bill on government depoalts at 1H per cent. Few, if any, western bsnks could or would, in our opinion, avail tbemrclves of the supposed provisions of the bill st that rate of interest There would be a loss to them, snd no advantage to tbe public In so doing. We urge you to oppose the bill, vhlch would hamper instead of help present finan cial conditions, unless the intert clause Is struck out.
