President Roosevelt branded the power lobby the era’s most dangerous, urging the House to back the Senate death sentence against unnecessary public utility holding companies. He criticized hidden profits and said the reform would restore control to the people, with a House bill aligning to the Senate measure or allowing SEC scrutiny to outlaw firms at its discretion.
