change brokerage commissions on

ing below SO a share; SIS on stocks
selling between $40 and s125 a share
and $40 for stocks selling at 1925

fishes the following new scale of
charges for other shares: s1250 for
stocks selling between SO and S25 a
share, SIS for stocks selling between

had received numerous complaints
concerning the exchange. In answer
to attorneys, who claimed that the
attorney general had no authority to
subpoena the exchange officials, Jus

II think there is sufficient before
the court to justify the widest exami-

ton exchange business, which has
already resulted in the disclosure of
gigantic swindling operations against
the public. I don't think that it is
incumbent on the attorney general
