The stock exchanges are battling the Government in defense of their lucrative but controversial system of fixed minimum commissions. As part of an eight-month effort to unsnarl the paperwork jam that has slowed brokers' back-office operations, the exchanges and over-the-counter market last week decided to remain on a four-day trading week throughout September.
