Although Senators Aldrich and Hale

GAS INQUIRY ENDS
IN HEATED DEBATE

Continued from Page One.
torney Hazleton was called for the last
argument in favor Of the resolution.
He opened by remarking that the coun-
sci for the gas company had been led
astray from the real issue by the fall
lacy that Congress is trying to assail the
virgin purity and innocence" Of the cor
poration by imposing a restrictive meas
ure that would anihiate II.
Restrictions on Dividends.
He said the franchise granted by Con-
gress specifically states that the company
can pay dividends only in cash. He
added that the Godfrey resolution only
prohibits the company from issuing Ger
tifcates Of Indebtedness without the per-
mission OF Congress, and asserted the
motive FOR the resolution is 10 prevent
the corporation from distributing such
certificates OF bonds as a bonus to its
stockholders while the prohts are divided
among a chosen few.
Attorney Goldsbor0ugh pointed 20 the
rights Of the company 10 its day in
court"
Your court is here-your tribunal is the
Congress 10 whom you owe your fran
chise." retorted Mr. Hazleton. You have
got 20 trust 10 this tribunal up here 10 do
what IS fair and right by you-and YOU
must do what IS fair and right by them
and by the consumers"
He described the way the Indebtedness
OF the company must pile up from year
20 year when dividends are met in this
way instead OF with the cash that pours
into its Golfers. And he declared that 70
could not be denied that such a course
must lead either 20 the insolvency Of the
corporation or further raids on the peo-
PIE.
