NO RUNNING ON EXCHANGE FLOOR
Members Puzzled by Committees New Rule
Call It Restraint Of Trade"

This mysterious announcement was contained
in the weekly bulletin OF the Stock Exchange,
issued yesterday: "On the recommendation OF
the governing committee. the committee of ar
rangenents has adopted resolution prohibiting
running upon the floor OF the exchange" II was
st first supposed that the rule might have been
adopted with q view TO curbing tendency TO
friskiness on the part OF the exchanges corps
OF messengers but at the Office OF the institution
n was said that the regulation applied to mem
bers as well as TO employees
Members thought that the rule might have
bvgienic basis as tending To prevent the stirring
up OF dust on the exchange floor. They
NOT inDressed by that consideration though
heing rather inclined TO the opinion that the case
might be one OF restraint OF trade OF which
SO much rs heard in these days. No notice has
