RAILROADS ASK NEW CONTRACT THE PEACE ENVOYS GATHER IN LONDON By Associated Press. Washington, ' Dec. 13. Frank K. 'Sturgls, a New York broker and for mer president of the New York stock exchange, was In the witness chair today when the house money trust in vestigating committee, resumed its bearings. Three members of the com mittee were on hand when the ses sion began. Mr. Untermeyer endeavored to draw from Mr. Sturgls an estimate of the rmount of business done on the New York stock exchange annually, but was unsuccessful. The lawyer read from the answers furnished by the exchange to questions of the house committee as to, estimate of yearly business amounting to 196,000,000 shares of stock. Mr. Sturgls said he believed the figures to be about right. "Now on that 196.000.000 shares the brokers doing the trading receive 25 cents a share in commission, 12 cents on each side of the transaction, lo they not?" a"ked Mr. Untermeyer. "No, because some of that specula tion is by brokers for themselves and in lhat there is no commission," an swered Mr. Sturgls. Mr. Sturgls said that about one-third of the trading Was dimes by brokers. "Then about 131,000,000 of Bhnres me bought and sold by the public?" "About that." Mr. Sturgi3 said there arc about 400 or BOO active brokers on the exchange. Commls Mims, he suld, were charged on the par value of stock "without regard to I lie market price. As to Selling "Short." Mr. Untermeyer took up the ques tion of short sales. The witness ex plained thnt "short selling" was the practice of selling stock not owned by the seller to ba bought in later nt a lower price. "The object is to make money on a break in the market by selling what you have not got, isn't that so?" "l'rs." replied Mr. Sturgls. Mr. Sturgis said that he believed 't proper for a broker In times of panic to protect himself by short sales, if he were holding lines of stock for which there was no ntarket. "Do you believe short selling justl liabl" in a normal market?" "That Is a question between every man and his own conscience." "Do you personally approve of short felling in a normal market?" ' Personally, I do not." "The etock exchange does not dis courage short selling?" "It takes no position in the mat ter." Mr. Untermeyer reviewed the argu ments in favor of short gelling, as a balance In a rising market and as fteadying a general market situation. "Don't you think the moral obloquy of such transaction outweighs any argument in Itself?" "Yes I do personally." "As a matter of fact that Is gam bling, pure and simple?" "Vifct, very largely," answered Mr. Sturgls. The ' question of morat duty of the nock exchange In the public. Involved Mr. Sturgls, and the lawyer In a heat ed argument. "The exchange, as such, has no duty toward the public," sild Mr. Sturgls. "except to maintain a plain to do business and to surround that business with proper safeguards." ' The witness said that he did not believe the stock exchange was guilty of misleading banks as to the value of ecurllic manipulated. On this point he argued at length, Mr. Vr.ti-rmcyer endeavoring to secure the admission that the stock exchange should make dealings on the door ot the exchange dealings in . the real value of stocks, that the securities might be quoted at a price represent ing real value. Hamuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee, had his Innings with Mr. sturgU yesterday and today John G. .Vllburn, counsel for the stock ex hang members uppearing as wlt nowes before the committee, took Mr. Sturgls in hand to develop their views of the points brought out In Mr. Un termeyer's examination. Manipulation of storks, running of pools, handling of customers' colla H'tal and the rivalry between the New York stock exchange and the Consoli dated exchange were the principal points touched upon In Mr. Untr- mvi-r's examination of Mr. Sturgls, Tho former presldmt of ths stock cM'hungo testified yesterday that ho considered the practices ol the stock xchange and brokers generally, regu lar and Legitimate. Stock exchange brokers usually t c the stock owned In part by their customers as collateral to support tlkelr own loans, Mr, Sturgls said, re' hypothecating the securities for a neater amount than Is represented In the drlit of the customer on the stock.
