STOCK EXCHANGE
DEFENDS ITSELF
Brief by Milburn Denies Charges
of Stock Gambling and Dr.
versions of Capital.

The brief OF the New York Stock Elk
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Bank
ing and Currency Committee on the Owen
bill recommending the Incorporation and
stricter regulation of stock exchanges,
was made public late yesterday. John
G. Milburn. counsel for the Stock Ex-
change, attacks the bill on the ground
Of its unconstltutionality and attempts
to show at length that the reasons for
its passage. as set forth by Mr.. Inter
myer. do not exist.
That the greater part OF the business
on the exchange represents speculation
indlstinguishable from gambling is de-
MED, and further denial is made OF the
charge OF counsel for the Committee on
Banking and Currency that the transac-
tons are productive OF economic waste
through Withdrawals and diversions or
capital from industry and commerce.
Manipulation" the Stock Exchange
brief says, has practically died out with
the changed conditions and standards re-
Elected In the rules OF the exchange. The
transactions on the exchange from Gay
10 day are far from II in any degree and
its quotations express the result OF actual
and legitimate transactions and market
conditions"
Mr.. Milburn protests strongly against
the vituperation against the exchange and
its members running through the brief
prepared BY Mr.. Untermyer. He charges
that il is not the phraseology Of sincerity
nor Of candid and dispassionate analysis
or criticism. a passionate, vindicuye ana
personal antagonism is declared by coun-
sci for the exchange TO be contained in
Mr.. Untermyer's brief.
Alluson by counsel for the Banking
and Currency Committee 10 the publicity
department Of the exchange in connec-
ton with a report, printed while the
hearings on the owen bill were gong on
in Washington. that President Wilson
was opposed to the Stock Exchange leg
islation are characterized as baseless by
Mr.. Miburn.
The alleged diversion OF banking FUNDS
and capital from industry 10 loans III ald
Of speculation on the Stock b%chahse
calls forth the statement that this pres
entation OF the matter (by the Puto com
mittee) is not only grossly exaggerated.
but in essential principle 1t is without
any support OF facts"
The provisions in the owen Dill de-
signed 10 effect corporate regulation are
said to be unwise and unsound in that
they make Of the Stock Exchange an
agent Of corporate reform which properly
belongs to state legislation. The question
is raised whether Congress has the power
TO regulate the relations between mem
her OF the exchange and his customer
and il il contended that the history of
all such legislation is fraught with oah-
ger to the commercial welfare OF any
country.
