session OF Congress on Tuesday after
noon--his fifth appearance before that
body 10 submit his views. Before the end
OF the week II is probable that the first
of three bills to carry his recommended

fact that members OF Congress have been

Ban on Holding Companies.

II is understood that the President ia
vors the prohibition of holding companies
He would forbid corporations to own or
hold shares in competing concerns. ana. 1t
is stated. would allow them TO be inter
ested in the business of non-competitors
only with the consent OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the Interstate
Trade Commission, If the latter is estab-
lshed.
Another part OF the Presidents plan is
to empower the Interstate Commerce
Commission to regulate and supervise the
issuance of securities by the railroads, so
that the public would exercise, through
the commission. a certain control over the
future uses to which the money obtained
from the issue of stocks or bonds would
be put
The President has made it plain to
Chairman Clayton of the House Judiciary
Committee that the business world should
be given full opportunity to express its
views. lie desires, too. that in the legis-
lation ample time should be given in all
cases for business to adjust itself to new
conditions.

Counts on Public Approval.

In line with the idea that public opin-
ion is more or less agreed on certain
principles, the President considers the
prohibition of holding companies as
vital part OF the programme He believes
that beginning with the decision by the
United States Supreme Court in the Nor
thern Securities case, holding companies
have come under the ban of public disap-
prevail While Governor of New Jersey
he caused TO be enacted measures pro-
hibitng holding companies in that state
and permitting only such mergers of non
by the Public Utilities Commission.
The supervision Of the issuance of rail-
road securities is to be recommended by
the administration in the belief that rail-
road capitalization and the issuance of
stocks and securities are closely involved
with increases or decreases in rates. and
that, through the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the public would be safe
guarded. Recent speeches by railroad Of
fcials to the effect that such regulation
would be welcomed are taken as evidence
by the administration that such regula-
ton would meet with general satisfaction.
1t has become apparent that the Presi-
dent is determined that the Sherman anti
trust law shall remain unaltered and that
laws 10 be enacted shall be separate and
designed to strengthen it in certain par
ticuiars

The Male Glee Club, composed of
the singers in Augusta, Hallowell,
Gardiner and Winthrop, will hold its
first meeting at s o'clock next Monday
evening, Oct. 5, in the assembly room
of the new Y. NJ. c. A. building. This

is q business meeting to make selec-
ton of a conductor and also to choose
officers for the first year.
Already % bases and % tenors have
signified their intention of joining,
which insures q grand chorus of male
voices. The idea of the club is TO
arrange for two or three public con-
certs during the year along the same
lines as the Portland Municipal Male
Chorus, which has been a big success
from the start.
All male singers are invited to join
provided they can read and sing.
There are over 100 male voices in
these towns and the promoters of this
chorus hope that the men will come
forward and help to make the glee
club the best in Maine.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has very kindly CIV
en- the use of the assembly room once
in two weeks or more often If needed,
so that the expense Is for conductor
and the copies of music used.
