REFORM HARD
FOR WALL ST
fBy United Pressl


NEW YORK, June 18.-The rea-
sons for the conclusion of Governor
Hughes committee on speculation
that Wall street must reform itself,
and that the laws are hardly ex-
pected to remedy the situation,
were told to the United Press today
by Maurice Muhleman, writer on
monetary subjects and secretary of
the committee. He said:
"The evils of manipulation and
those growing out of other methods
often complained of, such as wash
sales, matched ORDERS as well as
the examination of brokers' books,
are all up to the stock exchange to
correct by rules. In other words,
the exchange should reform itself.
1t can easily do so because it is
not Incorporated.
In the first place." continued
Muhleman, speculation is regard.
ed in some form a necessary Incl
dent to productive operations. We
could never distribute agricultural
products, with reasonable prices
for all, without it. Considerable
gambling accompanying 1t is diff
cult to distinguish from legitimate
speculation"
The committee held Sc sessions
as a whole, and as many in the
subcommittee. Men in all walks
of life were invited to testify.
