group which had for some time pro-
tested they did not have sufficient rep
reSentation on the Governing Com
mittee.
This affirmed lack of voting power
arose from the fact that partners of
commission houses not members of
the exchange were not entitled to a
place on the governing board. Many
such partners had never bought men,
berships in their own names, prefer
ring to direct firm policy from their
desks and to leave the clerks the mem
bership function Of executing orders
on the floor Of the exchange.
To this, stock exchange officials re-
torted that more than a majority Of
tie board Of governors represented
the interest of commission houses.
Another sore point impinged upon
by the S. e. c. recommendations was
the feeling long prevalent in some
circles that under the election bylaws
of the exchange the MANAGEMENT
tended to be self-perpetuating.
Moves Watched Closely.
Interest runs high In Wall Street
in how far the exchange will go in
adopting the commissions proposals
and whether changes, If adopted, will
prove acceptable to the commission.
Representatives of both the New
York Stock Exchange advisory group
and the advisory body of the Associa-
ton of Stock Exchange Firms have
made concrete suggestions on ways
and means for the exchange to adopt
the S. E. c. proposals.
1t is thought likely they may be
acted upon when the Governing Com
mittee meets in special session next
