MARKET PRACTICES
QUERY TO Be MADE
DIRECT TO BROKERS
Senate Investigators Reach
Decision on Procedure in
Executive Session.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate stock market Investigators
decided today after an executive ses-
sion with brokers and counsel for the
New York Stock Exchange to obtain
information on market practices
through questionnaires submitted di-
rectly to brokers instead of through the
Exchange.
In view Of the Exchanges refusal to
distribute the QUESTIONABLE, the COM
mittee decided to go ahead otherwise.
A group of brokers and representa-
tives Of the committee went to work at
once on a revision of the QUESTIONABLE
to get the information desired without
too much expense or delay.
Decision Of the committee was an
nounced by Chairman Fletcher and
Ferdinand Pecora, counsel, after a brief
executive session with leading brokers
and Roland L. Redmond. counsel for
the Exchange.
The session was called after an agree
ment in open session was baked by
Redmond's insistence the Exchange had
no authority to distribute the question
naire
Members Of the committee said the
individual brokers, however, expressed
confidence the information on pools and
other operations could be furnished
without too much expense and within Q
reasonable time.
Ask Reasonable Latitude"
Previously Edward A. Pierce, a men,
ber of the exchange subpoenaed by the
committee along with other brokers,
said the exchange was willing to CO.
operate if permitted reasonable lati-
tude" in submitting the information.
Previous negotiations to reach COM
promise between Richard Whitney,
president Of the exchange, and Pecora
had collapsed and the investigators
had threatened to subpoena all 1875
members of the exchange.
Members of the committee indicated
they would be satisfied with replies
that were reasonably accurate"
Meanwhile the committee is studying
a report from the New York Stock Ex-
change on an alleged pool in alcohol
stocks last Summer.
Plans Alcohol Stock Quiz.
Pecora was supplied the report re-
Gently by Whitney. Neither has dis
closed its contents, but Pecora plans to
question Exchange members regarding
alcohol stocks Whitney's report covers
trading between May is and July "a.
Pierce, a gray-haired, round-faced
broker wearing glasses, told the COM
mittee today it was agreed at con-
ference in New York yesterday that If
a reasonable latitude was allowed the
proposed QUESTIONABLE could be an
swered at a nominal expense within
two or three weeks.
I'VE are willing to cooperate, but

Fertilizer and
Power Men Are
Fighting Bill
Lawmaker Says They Give
no Help in Muscle
Shoals Hearing

WASHINGTON, April II. -
Electric power men last week told
| a congressional committee that
congressional committee that
Muscle Shoals should be used by
the government for the manufac-
ture of fertilizer.
Fertilizer men thcreupon told
the same house ways and means
cOmmittee that the vast govern
mental plant should be used for
the manufacture of electricity.
You're not a bit of help to
u.s." commented Representative
James, Republican, Michigan.
The power interests and the
fertilizer interests could agree OH
only one point: namely, that
government competition from
] Muscle Shoals would ruin their
respective industries.
They did say, however, that
they were not opposed to the
broad scope of President Roose-
velt's plans to develop the Ten
nesSee River valley. They added
that if the project were designed
especially to furthr navigation,
control floods and rebuild the
forests, they would approve it.
W. l.. Willkie, the New York
president Of the Commonwealth
and Southern corporation, said
that $4OO,O0O,000 worth of Sc
curitieS of his company would be
made worthless if the Muscle
Shoals bill of the president was
passed as written. He urged that
an amendment be inserted in
structing the government to sell
its hydro electric power to the
private companies already in OPP
| Grafton.
He said these companies would
be willing to distribute this gov
eminent electricity and sell it at
rates prescribed by the govern
ment. Any erection of transmits
sion lines by the government. he
added would ruin the Southern
Power industry.
| After Willkic left the commit
tee room the suggestion was
made that the government be en-
powered to condemn and buy any
transmission lines it may need
for distribution of Muscle Shoals
power. Many of the committee
men said privately that they fav-
Ored this plan.
Charles J. Brand. secretary Of
the National Fertilizer associa-
ton said the members of his Or
ganization already manufactured
more soil food than the Ameri-
can farmer can consume. He
added that there was no import
duty on fertilizer.
80 we must compete with the
entire world prdouction," he ex-
planned, "and hence we could
not take advantage Of the farmer
if we wanted to-"
He said the fertilizer industry
now is operating at a loss. Any
vast production Of fertilizer by
the government merely would add
to this loss. he continued.

ak said in commenting on the bill,
practically all of the officials in the
Department of Agriculture and Fed
eral Board close to the President
have indicated complete sympathy
with the purpose of the BILL | have
arranged for a conference Monday
afternoon with several well-known
constitutional lawyers and specialists
in mortgage and property laws. The
objective of this conference is to pre-
pare briefs that will remove barriers
of uneonstitutionality' used so freely
by the money lenders and other enc
mics of the bill and to outline the
procedure under which Congress may
act.
"Tabulation of reports received
from practically all of the states in
dicate that an average of 5000
farms, homes and properties are con
fiscated every day by the money
lenders of this country. Following
the passage Of the Presidents Farm
Relief and Farm Refinancing Bills
an interim of at least 100 days will
elapse before the bills become oper-
ative. This would permit 100000
more American farms and homes to

antiquated, outworn and unjust mort
