lation bill In at least as drastic a form torm as It was reported by the senate banking and currency committee Is the strong probability Actually the measure seems to most Impartial 01 observers observers ob ob- servers to be pretty stringent even as asIt asIt asit It stands although the radicals and progressives es Insist It was emasculated ed In committee by the amendments proposed by Senator Carter Carler Glass Incidentally no one was as surprised surprised surprised sur sur- as Glass at this charge of ot the emasculation He lie still thinks revised form of the bill Is Just as harsh on the stock exchange as the original origInal from from the standpoint of ot criticisms criticisms made of ot the exchange and Its practices The real objection of ot stock exchange operators to the measure no longer centers on the margin requirements In the bill before the senate these are arenow arenow arenow now left to the discretion of ot the new commission of ot five live to be appointed by bythe bythe bythe the President Hut But ut the provisions of ot the measure still remaining which In effect deal with regulating all corporations whose securities are listed on the stock exchange exchange ex ex- change Is something else again The Thenet Thenet Thenet net effect of ot that portion of ot the bill will be to decrease enormously the amount of or business done on the ex ex- change It will cut down the commissions commissions com com- missions earned by the exchange members This Is no mere Idea It Is a definitely definitely dell Iy known I fact Officials of ot scores of ot corporations have told their friends friendson on Wan Wall street that they will not submit submit sub sub- mit to the amount of ot governmental regulation and supervision Implied In Inese these ese paragraphs of ot the stock exchange exchange ex ex- change regulation bill The answer Is II that when the bill goes Into effect these corporations will withdraw the present listings of ot their stocks Those stocks no longer will be bought or sold on the New York Stock exchange They will change hands thereafter only In private dealings Hard on Stockholders This will work a severe hardship on the stockholders of ot those com com- panics This the officials admit It will be such a hardship that certain other companies which would like very much to withdraw their listing if It tho the bill bl passes posses may refrain retrain from doing so BO For It ft w would uld mean menn that those stocks could no longer be used to anything like the present extent as collateral for tor loans not only because of ot legal restrictions Imposed In the bill but because as there would no longer be a constant record of ot the tho actual actual actual ac ac- selling price of ot the s stock stock lenders ock lenders would not be bl willing villing t to advance as much ouch nuch on those stocks as' as security ec Rut But a great many many corp corporations would far rather rather deprive e th heir lr
