Congressman Dyer Contends Curb Listings Include Liquor Stocks
New York April 10 Officials of the New York Curb Exchange received a letter from Congressman Leonidas Dyer demanding the return of money he lost buying Hiram Walker stock and selling it after learning the company is a Canadian liquor distiller. Dyer argues such stocks may be illegally listed and asks whether the Curb market can or should list them. He bought the stock in ignorance and dumped it when the truth emerged, taking a loss. Dyer notes other liquor related firms are listed on both the Curb and the big board, and he has long opposed Prohibition measures including the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead Act.
