STOCK MARKET
BILL is PASSED
Control Measure Approved,
Awaits Signature of
Roosevelt.
BIZ United Press

by CHtitU LFtSS
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The
battle of the stock market control
bill, expected to go down in legis-
lative history as one of the %stiffest
of recent years, was owe today but
for the Presidents signature on the
act.
The measure, a keystone in Presi-
dent RooSevelt'S arch of new deal
legislation, finally was approved by
both house and senate yesterday
with only a few final words of
discussion.
The chief executive will find the
bill on his desk when he returns to
Washington Monday. Taking effect
July l, it brings for the first time
the nations securities exchanges
under strict federal control.
1t represents the administrations
strongest effort to protect investors
against wild speculation and sharp
practices. A companion bill, the Sc
curitieS act, was passed last year
and certain notifications of it are
included in the new law.
Hope of the trainers of the act is
that it will end for all time such
orgies of speculation which led to
the debacle of 1929.
No other measure initiated under
President Roosevelt's regime has
been the subject of so much con-
troversy. The act has been revised
again and again to meet objections.
The central fight occurred over
administration of the act and the
requirements for trading on margin.
In final form the bill sets up a new
federal agency, a commission of
five members to handle the new
law. Margins are required to be at
least As per cent cash, but may be
changed at the order of the COM
mission. Brokers' loans are to be
controlled by the federal reserve
board.
