Mr. Janney stated that before Offering a reso-
luton which he held in his hand, he would like
to say lew MofGs ,. ID ne regretted eGesedingiy
believing 1t to be Tor the good Of the Exchange
and necessary to the preservation Of its dignity,
he felt that It should be offered, and some action
be taken immediately. He then offered the fol-
lowing:
declining to submit to the call of q committee OF
this body and that their publication Of q rate Of
organization cannot be permitted so long as they
chair is directed to enforce the penalty for inrac-
ton Of the rules Of the Exchange.
Mr.. Japney said that no organization could pos
sibly flourish unless Its rules were to be observed
and 1.-THE success Of any body like the Exchange
depended upon the unanimity and cooperation
of Its members. The life Of the Exchange was In
danger unless its rules were CARED out TO the
tween himself and Messrs. Bedler and Barrett
personally Of the friendliest he felt In duty
preserve its character and dignity 80 far as he
was able to do so.
Mr.. Jones said that no charges had been made
their report, and where no charges had been
preferredI the Exchange had no right to pass q
Mr. Ream, the chairman OF the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the publishing Of the card
by Meesrs. Biedler and Barrett, said that he had
preferred no charges, but the report was only o
preliminary move In order to tell whether or no
there had been cause for bringing charges
against these gentlemen:
Mr.. Jones stated that since no charges had
been made against them, he would like to ask
Mr.. Ream why the remark "mised and deceive"
was used by him when he brou yht In his report2
MT. Smithers inquired IL 1t was part Of his (Mr
Jones) defense. as counsel for these gentlemen,
to prove that since no charge had been preferred
against them they had rot violated the rules Of
the Exchange.
MT. Jones denied that he was acting as coun-
sci for any one, that he was only doing what he
thought right in defending these prosecuted gen.
tlemen, and that he imagined that the fact that
Mr.. Ream was not on the best Of terms with one
Of this firm had more to do with his action
against Messrs Biedler and Barrett than any
sense of duty.
Mr.. Ream disclaimed any ill-feellng towards
either Mr.. Biedler or Mr.. Barrett personally but
said he had no dout but Mr.. Jones would not hes
itate, himself, to do what he was now defending
these gentlemen for.
Quite an animated discussion then ttok place
