In an Interview Chairman I'ujo
outlined revolutionary reforms which
the committee plans to forco upon

ILnr From .Mails
"I bellevo It Is clearly shown that
the stock exchanges and somo of tho

of the clearing houses of tho coun

business should be barred from the
malls, and I feel certain that tho
rommltteo will recommend .such ac
tion. "In listing securtles. limiting the
slto of tho membership and by var
ious restrictions, tho stock exchange
and the clearing houso associations
havo become, in cfect, gigantic
trusts and monopolies which am
amonablo to tho law. Tho New

examplo of this business domination.
"Tho postal laws will bo Invoked
to cxcludo exchanges, and associa

the uso of tho malls In Inter-state

ganization Is made. It they aro not

their business methods. Thoy must
chango their methods radically,
however, or faco prosecution under
