i Tho petition was announced by
Senator Tlllmsui with characteristic
.comment. The document charge
that tho individual woasth of "six
poworful gamesters of Wall street"

to enable thorn to "demand any priae

of maturing bonds."
Crozler deolares that the bill cen
tal na other daagerosiB features; that
It would satisfy the well-known spirit
of revenge of the financiers and
block all nrogreealve loglslatlon be
tween a Democratic administration
and a Republican congress.
Tho petltloa further asserts that
the bill will multiply tho political
power of the "lawless, relentless ma!
