UTILITY BILL.
CE TS SUPPORT
OF PRESIDENT 7

WASHINGTON, June 29. U.P) -
President Roosevelt today declared
himself stronger than ever for the
utility bill as approved by the sem
ate and called it a measure that
will be, in effect, an emancipation
proclamation for stockholders.
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized his DO
Sltlon in response to a question at
his afternoon press conference as
to whether there was any truth in
the rumors that he was indifferent
to the utility bill and was willing
to let it slide at this session.
At present, he said, it is the
stockhodler who is under the death
sentence. no: Jne death sentence"
in the bill. This measure. he re-
marked, was an emancipation proc
lamation for the stockholders and
gives them a chance to hive instead
of going to the death house.
1t saves their dollars, Mr.. Roose-
velt observed, and at the same time
routs the parasite companies that
are taking money from the stock
holders of the holding companies.
There are methods, he said, un-
der the terms Of the bill, that
eliminate these parasite companies
which are sandwiched in between
the holding company and the basic
organization. 49,.
Mr.. Roosevelt also pointed out
that the measure will restore to
separate localities some of the
rights to control their own utili-
ties and take away the power, po-
litical and otherwise, that in the
past extended to Washington - a
power over the congress of the
United States through the most
powerful, the most dangerous lobby
ever created by any organization
in the United States.
