INSIDERS TARGET
Of MARKET CURB
Corcoran, One of Fletcher
Rayburn Bill Drafters,
Urges Rigid Law.

More rigid legislation to prevent
insiders" from profiting by their spe-
cial knowledge in stock market oper-
ations was urged today by Thomas
Corcoran, one Of the drafters Of the
Fletcher-Rayburn measure for Fed
eral regulation Of stock exchanges.
He made this suggestion to the
Senate Banking Committee as e.
Burd Grubb, president Of the New
York Curb Exchange. was advocating
the Whitney substitute for exchange
House Interstate Commerce Committee
Grubb said the Curb recognized
that Congress and the public ARE
not prepared to leave unlimited con-
troll Of exchange practices with the
exchanges themselves" and recon-
mended that the seven-man control
plan suggested previously by Richard
Whitney, president Of the New York
Stock Exchange, be adopted.
Co-ordinating Body.
1.-THE danger which has been made
obvious in the discussions before the
Committee Of Regulations and Rules,
which are destructive rather than
constructive, leads it Cthe Curb Ex-
change) to approve the appointment
of q co-ordinating and regulatory
body such as was suggested by Mr..
Whitney" Grubb said.
Study Of the admitted problems
by a highly intelligent body, expert
in the various branches Of the sub
ject, in advance Of the imposition Of
drastic rules, is Of the utmost i'm
portance, and to the end that evils
or dangers are shown to exist and
may be obviated or minimized the
exchange is in full sympathy.
"A Federal commission on which
the exchanges are represented has
two advantages over the Federal
Trade Commission-frst, that its
obligation would be confined to ex-
change problems only and would not
be one Of many prblems which the
regulatory body was considering:
second. the commission would not
be bound by congressional Hmita-
tions but would be In Q position to
consider new problems and to act
promptly and constructively In rela-
ton to those"
Notifications Considered.
Authors Of the Fletcher-Rayburn
bill said last night they were consider
ing notifications that would restrict
the broad powers otherwise conferred
by the bill upon the Federal Trade
Commission
The proposed change. they ex-
planned. would specify the information
to be required Of a corporation seek
ing to register its shares. The present
provisions would empower the COM
mission to obtain whatever data It
should deem desirable.
Several other notifications also are
under consideration. One Of these
would exclude banks from the section
prohibiting loans on unlisted Securi-
ties and confine that prohibition
largely to brokers.
Another would exempt "arbitrage
transaction" from the section giving
the Trade Commission power to say
when and how short sales shall be
made. Such transactions are intended
to equalize quotations on q stock
listed on two or more exchanges
As written. the provisions outlawing
certain manipulative practices would
apply only to listed stocks A change
Is under consideration which would
bring unlisted securities under this
section.

DETROIT LABOR HEAD
LAUDS N. R. A. REVISION
Long Work Week Blamed for
Failure to Produce More
Employment.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT. February 2s.-Frank X.
Martel, president Of the Detroit Fed
Grafton Of Labor. last night indorsed
the plans for the future conduct of
the N. r. A. voiced yesterday by Hugh
8. johnson, recovery administrator.
I'VE believe the general is headed
in the right direction" Martel said.
THE failure of the N. r. A. to produce
more employment than 1t has is due to
the 40-hour and over-work week per-
mitted under its provisions
''The administration Of the law fails
to accomplish its purpose Of elevating
the standard Of living for the Amer
ican people unless 1t provides a greater
purchasing power for them.
'The suggestions made by Gen.
johnson are In line with the policy
of the American Federation Of Labor.
and we hope that they win be written
into the administration Of the law.
One Of its weaknesses thus far has
been the slowness with which the ma
chinery operates to protect labor
against discrimination"

A wave Of anti-N. R. A. strikes
threatened.
IT thought was running thisf"
asked johnson.
you are" said Minor, "but I am
sure you never once did anything that
runs against the ideas of Teagle and
Swope (the heads Of Standard of New
Jersey and General Electric)."
johnson let that ride.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
among those who suggested changes
yesterday.
At the hearing on small enterprises
Harriet Anderson of the Channel
Book Shop read statement by Mrs.
Roosevelt.
1T has been brought to my atten-
tion," the Presidents wife said, that
the retail department stores can sell
books below what the small bookshop
can and still live up to the
retail code, which says they must
not sell below cost"
Pleading the case Of the corner
grocery, Mrs. Roosevelt said even
though we acknowledge that chain
stores in cities can always do it more
cheaply, I doubt if they can in smaller
communities and give the same value"
At the night session, which was on
employment, Benjamin G. Marsh. rep
resenting the Peoples Lobby, headed
q list of witnesses who were frankly
critical of N. r. A. policies. Marsh
topped his complaints by suggesting .
fiat 30-hour week.
1t was at this hearing that Minor,
representing the Communist party,
said I'VE very basically disagree with
the N. r. A."
He said the problem Of unemploy-
ment had not been solved by N. r. A.
and other recovery agencies and that
1t was permanent thing 80 far as
the capitalist system Is concerned"
Therefore" Minor said, I'VE Of the
Communist party declare there must
be Instituted now . system Of full
unemployment and social insurance on
q single Nationwide scale by the
Federal Government.
1.-THE worst sufferers of all the un-
employed are the Negro workers. Out
Of five-and- -one-half million gainfully
employed in 1880, there were one-and-
one-half million unemployed Negroes
in 1888. '''
1T is no secret that there is now
brewing a tremendous storm of strikes
against the N. r. A. This storm will
inevitably be connected, and must be
connected, with the growing mass un-
emnaoOment Hovemant"

DRAW Lois FOR JOBS

DENVER P.-When the c. w. A.
quota was ordered cut from 1892
workers to 5.S44, Capt. c. D. Shawyer,
State c. w. A. worker, decided to let
chance decide who will be removed
from pay rolls.
He placed the names Of all the
workers in the county jury wheel
which looks like a lottery machine
and pulled out those to be dropped.

to prevent importation Of goods where
they are a menace to American pro-
ducers and labor. What is desired now
is authority to lower the barrier also
in the interest Of American producers
and labor.
Trade barriers which prevent the
expectation of American goods. def
nitely have the effect of curtailing
production and labor in this country.
The President could ask, Of course,
for carte blanche authority to deal with
these tariff duties But it is believed
that a limited authority would be
sufficient to bring about important
trade adjustments and at the same
time that request for limited author
ity would be received by Congress
with better spirit and more easily
enacted into law.
While the Roosevelt administration
is moving toward revival of Amer
ica's foreign trade-which would have
the effect also of stimulating the for
eign trade of other nations with this
country-there are two schools Of
thought within the administration on
the subject.
Private Operations Favored.
The first, which is represented by
Secretary Hull Of the State Depart
ment, looks to a removal Of trade bar
riers, lowering of tariff duties and the
like, so that the trade Of this coun-
try with others may be carried on by
ndividuals-private citizens-as it
has been done in the past.
The second group. which Is being
dubbed in some quarters the liberals"
and which Is represented, for example,
by Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Tugwell and In this instance by
George N. Peek, the head Of the new
Export Import Bank set up to do
business with Russia, looks also to
reciprocal trade agreements and low
ering of trade barriers, but with the
idea that the trade shall be carried
on between governments, rather indi-
viduals.
Which group will prevail remains to
be seen.
Certainly through the establishment
Of the Export-Import Bank to trade
with Russia, and the proposal to ex-
tend its trading to Cuba, the liberals
seem to have obtained an entering
wedge. That they hope to follow it
up is indicated by the announcement
that still another bank or corporation
may be set up to deal with foreign
nations generally In this matter of
trade.
Dangers in Foreign Trade.
A danger which the Government
faces, If it undertakes to take over
the matter Of foreign trade from in
dividual traders Is that the Govern
ment may some day find itself possess
sor of vast amounts Of cotton or
wheat, for example. which foreign
nations will not buy, or that it will
have obtained from foreign nations
huge amounts of goods produced
abroad for which there is no American
market. The United States already
has had an experience in the pur-
chase Of cotton and wheat on a large
scale through the late Farm Board,
which shows how costly such opera
tions might be to the Government,
