Taft Says Ho Will Set Tinht on Con

sary to Accomplish Satisfactory
Postal Savlnns Bank Bill.
WASHINGTON, I). C, Juno 21.
After President Taft had carofully
spont several days grousing the ways
for the postal savings bank bill, thu
measure today is still sticking on the
slide and the piesident is "mad."
Tuft's ungor was m gieat that ho
cancelled his itropobod trip to Now
Haven and announced that ho would
sit tight on tho eongicssional lid as
long as necessary to accomplish u
"satisfactory" postal savings bank
bill.
Tho president demands that the
senate shall aceypt the bill without
amendments, but the insuigenla and
the Doiuourats ato doloi mined to
forco changes in thu moasuiu and
aio putting "gluo" where tho presi
dent carofully placed "grease and
oil."
11 is boliovod thai Taft is ready to
Htay horu all suinutor if necessary.
Tho Democrats and insurgents aro
not to bo moved by cajolery or
threats. Thoy deelaro tho president
is uureasonahlo to o.xpoet the senate
to accept tho house bill, which is en
tirely diffeiout from tho bill passed
by tho senate. Thoy add that thoy
are not bound by any promises the
l'uL'iiliirs mav havo iiuido to Taft,
Tho president decided to borrow
ami uso tho "big htiuk" when ho
heard that soyoral senators had
planuod a filibuster against the bill.
Tuft feels that he is tuVdgcd to
support thu bouse hill because of a
number of house insurgents support
ed a rule which niado possible the
passage of tho postal hill by tho
house. Ho believes that it tho meas
uro goes to conference "a spoolal
privilege" provision will ho written iu
by tho suuato and that the house
will not accept tho amendment.
