TIE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Testimony Given Concerning the Corpora
tiOn Laws of New Jersey-Companies'
Books Opened for Inspection.

Washington, Oct. 19.-There were
six witnesses before the industrial
commission yesterday, the first on the
list being Mr.. James B. Dill, New
York attorney, who was present as an
expert on the corporation laws Of
New Jersey, Mr.. Dill said that if the
corporation laws Of the state were
enforced tramp corporations would
find it impossible to exist there. The
laws in his opinion were not only just
and fair in their requirements both to
the corporations and the public, but
they provided heavy penalties for their
violation. But, while all this was
true, Mr.. Dill said he feared that the
laws had been more honored in the
breach than in the observance. He
also thought many of the corpora
tions were organized at much too high
figure.
The other five witnesses dealt with
the practical operation of the New
Jersey laws. Four Of these witnesses
were representatives of the corpora
ton trust companies of the state, who
make business of representing in
the state for transfer purposes the cor
porations organized there. All of
these witnesses stated that the com
panies which they represent kept their
transfer books and stock ledger with
them; that these were balanced daily,
and that the names of stockholders
were always given to inquirers, pro-
vided the identity of the inquirers as
stockholders was established beyond
peradventure.
