Wall Street Senator Burton Leads Stock Exchange Fight
Washington reports that stock exchange legislation will top Congress agenda next session. Senator Burton is expected to lead Republican defense of the exchange, seen as a barometer of business conditions. The Hughes commission report advocates private regulation and cautions against broad federal or state control while supporting a higher 20 percent margin requirement. Administration backs no single bill, planning multiple measures to allow compromise without crippling the market. Southern Democrats likely push cotton and grain related reforms, with Senator Cummins proposing broad legislation across stock exchanges and speculative activities.
