...gets no regular reports from brokerage firms which are not Exchange members ; the Illinois Securities Commission has a staff of only two people. Thus Hoagland & Allum got by for five years until President Joseph V. Moreschi of the International Hod Carriers. Building and Common Laborers' Union of America found himself unable to get back $47.000 of his own money and $64.000 of union money. Just before Hod Carrier Moreschi complained to State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney last fortnight. Hoagland & Allum Vice President Russell W.

In the fifty years since the bitter struggle over its parturition the I.C.C. has won universal respect for its useful service. Perhaps after the early troubles that beset every new organization--even business organizations, a new government regulatory commission for big industry will prove just as useful and win as much respect...
