NEW YORK, April 14.-Present
ownership of 225 American cor
porations rests with more than
1925 900 shareholders of record,
according to an investment survey
made by Frazier, Jelke & Co.
Eliminating Implications, there
probably are as many individual
owners of stocks in the United
States as there are residents in
Canada, the survey stated.
General Motors shares are reg
istered in 351,761 names, equivalent
to almost a quarter of the popula-

Twenty-Five corporations for which

The Clearing House Suit

THE suit against the New York
\ Clearing House member banks
brought in behalf of depositors and
other creditors of the defunct Harri-
man National bank is expected to
go to trial within the next few
weeks. The banks are being asked
to make good on the losses suffered
by reason Of the Hartman failure
on the ground that executives of the
Clearing House Association had
agreed with the banking authorities
in Washington that they would see
the Hartman through if it was al
lowed to remain open after eXamin-
ers had discovered irregularities.
Several of the member institutions
have refused to be bound by this
agreement, because. they claim, the
committee had no authority to make
such a contract.
It is reasonable to suppose, of
course, that the committee was be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea when it sought to come to the
aid of the Hartman. They I'M
doubtedly felt that if the bank was
closed at the critical time, when the
irregularities were discovered. other
banks and the country at large
would suffer. Probably they also
were unaware of how serious condi-
tions were with the bank and were
betting on the new official they Sc
lected being able to pull it out OF
its difficulties.

BROKERS ACT AGAINST
STOCK LEGISLATION
Seven Local Houses Ask for Aid Of
Indiana Congressman.

Protests against drastic regula-
ton legislation proposed for secur-
tiles exchanges is being made by
seven Indianapolis brokerage houses
through messages to- Indiana men,
bers of congress. according to James
T Hamill, chairman of a local or
gained employees committee.
The message requests that no
hasty and drastic legislation be
enacted, but that careful considera-
ton be given to the subject Of Stock
Exchange regulations because Of its
many ramifications in the field Of
American business and finance"
If enacted into law in its pres
ent form, the proposed stock regu-
latory measure would affect ap-
proXimately 100000 persons. includ-
ing employees of Stock Exchange
firms and their dependents.
Similar action to that taken here
is being taken by brokerage en-
ployes in 140 other cities in the
United States, Mr.. Hamill said.
