Alfred Hart Opposes
 Stock Exchange Bill
Returns From Washington Where He Testified Before
 Committee Francis Phillips Cites Hardships

Alfred l.. Hart. president of the R. F. Griggs company, local in- vestment brokers, returned today from a hearing in Washington, D C., before the house interstate and foreign commerce committee. Mir Hart went on record as being op- posed to the proposed stock ex- change regulation bill. He was the only one present from Waterbury but Connecticut as a whole was represented by many officials Of stock and bond houses in this state.
 The main objection to the bill. which is part of the Roosevelt plan to regulate Wall street, Is that 1t win divorce brokers and dealers. In ohter words. brokers and deal- CTS would have to work separately. It is the claim that the passage of such a measure would throw many persons out of work in the bond business and stunt the activities of the trade in general.
 At the present time a broker can do all kinds of security business. He can buy securities on his own account mad sell them. Under the arate part of brokerage activities would have to be don by a different type of broker. The broker would have to specialize in certain line of brokerage business.
 On the other hand, the dealer would have to merely act as a seller, in the real sense of the word. and would be unable to engage in any brokerage activities at all. (, Francis T. Phillips, vice-presi- dent, secretary and treasurer of the Griggs company, stated this morn- ing when interviewed that the measure, if passed in it's present form. would work a hardship on employees in the brokerage and sell ing business as well as on the reg ular establishments, themseves, and

of the German labor movement; Kirby spoke on the discrimination of Nazi Germany against Jewish athletics. Chancellor Harry Wood- burn Chase of New York university denounced the "barbaric" interfer- ence with intellectual freedom in Germany. and Professor Raymond Moley, late of President Roosevelts 'brain trust" expressed his hate for ''this thing (Hitlerism) because 1t is an enemy of my country, of my faith and of my right to be free" |"
 Smith said Hitler had returned Germany to "cave-man law. the law of the sharpest tooth, the ang- riest growl, and the greediest maW." Before seeking Information al justice from other nations Ger many should "do justice to her own clements" he said.
 "Bigotry and intolerance Is not a thing that can be controlled. It is something that runs wild. It is a cancer in the body polite and the only thing to do with it is to cut it out"
 Samuel Seabury summed up the case against the Hitlerites.
 "In the discriminations against and the prosecutions of the Jews" he declared, "other people must not be so short-sighted as to con- clude that they are not also af- fected. Persecution of one is all injury to a,i."

Stubborn Mule
 Went On Strike

Chicago, March 8e(UPJ --Sooky, the largest mule in the William P. Sheppard Cartage company barn, con- ducted a passive resistance strike on the street car tracks. The strike remained passive while four streetcar crews and half a dozen pO- lice strOve to move SOoky. Then the street car was run up against one hind leg. A police automobile was backed against the other. Policemen pulled at Sooky;s halter.
 At a signal all forces went into action at once, including Sooly. When the dust cleared, the street car had broken windows, the police car, shattered headlights, and the police had torn uni- forms. SooIxy still was on the tracks. Police then threw a moose over the, mule. Dozens of men took firm holds on the rope. SOOky calmly walked of the tracks before they could pull.
