EXCHANGE VOTES
FOR REFORM PLAN
Approves Drastic Changes,
Including Creation of
SaIaried Post.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. March 18-TheS New
York Stock Exchange yesterday adopt
ed a drastically revised constitution.
which provides for far reaching
changes in administrative policy, IN
cluding the appointment of a salaried
president with almost dictatorial pow
ers
The action eliminated a long
standing agitation for reform in Sc
in the wake of the senatorial Wall
Street investigation several years ago.
Pressure for changes became more
pronounced with the advent of the
Security ard Exchange Commission,
three years ago, and with the d2Wl-
opment of dissension in the Stock
Exchange membership, in which the
so-called "old guard elements locked
horns with group said to favor
sweeping internal reforms.
Accepted by Large Vote.
The rewritten constitution was az
cepted by members by vote of rec
ord proportions recorded during the
last two weeks. Of the 1875 regis
tered members 1913 cast their ball
lots in favor of the reorganiza ion
plan. Exchange spokesmen said il
was the heaviest vote recorded in the
institutions history.
Under the new Set-up the exchange
will discard methods of management
which endured for half a century or
more and apply instead system of
administration long sponsored by a
considerable faction in the member
ship and by some outside critics.
Provision is made for new Gov
erning Committee of 80 members to
supplant the present committee OF
So The new body will have II nom
members of the exchange and some
representatives of the public The
present Governing Committee is COM
posed entirely of members Also q
part of the reorganization will be a
reduction in the number of standing
committees from II to :.
Curb Also to Act.
Basis for the new constitution was
the report of an outside committee
headed by Carle c. Conway, indus.
trialist which was requested by the
exchange to consider a plan of reor-
ganlzation. The committee started
its deliberations in December and filed
its recommendations with the ex-
change on January 8.
The New York Curb Exchange in
dlcated it was considering reorgani-
zation. perhaps patterned after the
stock exchange plan, through an
nouncement today of committee OF
members to study the subject.
The committee is headed by Will
