Companies Are Helpless.
A nice little business is being built up
by 4 group Of men who are taking ad-
vantage Of the law forcing every corpora
ton to show its stock lists to any stock
holders who demand to see them.
These men purchase a single share of
corporation, say. for instance, United
States Steel. and then copy of every one
of the tens of thousands of names on the
lists. They then sell the share of stock
at about what they paid for it. Next day
they buy a share OF another big concern
and copy its stock list. The mailing
list thus compiled is sold then to the
highest bidder.
As the corporations are liable to a fine
of S2j1 every time they refuse to show
their books. they have as yet devised no
way TO stem the inrOads of these list
stealers. Private detectives located the
headquarters OF one such group and the
