BUSINESS CHARTERS TO CORRECT EVILS Member of Securities Commis- sion Advocates Move to Provide Uniformity WOULD PROTECT INVESTOR Declares 48 Different Kinds of Chartering by States Now In Existence (Copyright, 1934, By the Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 15.—(#)—Fed- eral charters for business corpora- tions were advocated Thursday by Ferdinand Pecora as a protection to stockholders and the public. Pecora, whose investigation of Wall street for the senate won him a post on the securities and exchange com- mission, said in an interview that federal incorporation should be a fur- ther fruit of that inquiry. Such incorporation means that the charters empowering corporations to do business and prescribing what forms that business may take, would be granted by the central government rather than by the states. “To my mind,” Pecora said, “the most important-reason for federal in- corporation is that it will provide uni- ent states. Yet, in many cases, these corporations do an interstate business. “The free grants of power now given corporations by some states have enabled them to mulct their stockholders and the public, “Were these required to incorporate under the federal power, all the states and all the pub- he would be protected from business charters that, in effect, have enabled these corporations and their manag: ers to conduct themselves without re- gard to their stockholders’ wishes. “The major objection to the posal has come from the states which grant the free charters, and one may suspect that their primary interest is in the fees which the corporations pay for the charters.” COMPROMISE BONUS BY PRESIDENT SEEN New Members of Congress Feel Question May Put Them ‘On the Spot’ Washington, Nov. 15.—(?)—!

This indication, from an authorita- tive source, was contained in a state- ment that Great Britain still seeks a method of approaching a compromise on the. difficult question of a new naval treaty but that she will not go beyond the recognition of equality in principle for Japan. This decision was made independ- ently by Great Britain some time ago bers} and has nothing to do with any con- versations her diplomats engaged in the present preliminary naval parley have had with the representatives of the United States and Japan. Both the British and Americans here for the conversations said offici- ally that reports that Great Britain and the United States were consider- ing an agreement were entirely false. Both delegations said they wished the situation was near the agreement stage but that actually the three pow- ers were just as far from an agree- ment as they have ever been. The British last week suggested that the Japanese consider a com- promise which would give them equal- ity in principle, but by which the ex- isting ratios would be maintained. These ratios give the United States and Great Britain equal sized navies while that of the Japshese is 60 per cent the size of either of the others. ‘The British proposal means that the other nations concerned would recog- nize that Japan, in principle, has a right to equality but the Japanese navy would not be given actual equal- ity in tonnage.

OCTOBER TRADE IN RESERVE DISTRICT BETTER THAN 1933 Trifle Off From Total Register- ed for September, Month- ly Report Shows Minneapolis, Nov. 15.—()—Retail trade in the ninth federal reserve dis- trict fell off a trifle frdm the total registered in September, but the Oc- tober volume was substantially high- er than that of the same period a year ago, the Minneapolis Federal Reserve bank said Thursday in its preliminary monthly report. Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota and parts of Wisconsin and Michigan reported increases in retail trade. Two sub-sections in Montana and the northern Wisconsin and Michigan sub-section reported the largest increases, ranging from 33 to 37 per cent. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth- Superior reported a gain in retail trade of seven per cent. Business as a whole in the district the increases compared periods of 1933. Compared to Sep-|Luzon tember of this year, however, the vol- a was definitely lower, the bank Income to farmers of the district from marketings of dairy products increased 10 per cent in October as compared to the same month of 1933, the bank said. Farm income on the average, how- ever, from seven important items, was six per cent smaller than the esti- mates for the same month a year ago. Smaller marketings of bread wheat resulting from the decreased produc- tion in 1934 was the chief reason for the income decline, the bank re- ported. Young Bandit Kills St. Paul Policeman St. Paul, Nov. 15.—(#)—A youthful restaurant worker, who, police said, had admitted turning holdup man at night, was held under guard and without charge at the city hospital Thursday following the fatal shooting of Patrolman Larry Tierney during a gunfight Wednesday night. The suspect is Russell O’Laughlin, 18, who was wounded in the leg. He was taken into custody at his home after his father had telephoned po- lice when he returned with the bul- let_wound. Tierney was one of several officers seeking a bandit who had held up Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nippert at the garage of their home Wednesday night and escaped with $2.

I., Nov. 15.—(#)—Four fishermen were reported drowned off Catbalogan on the Island of Samar in the first accounts of loss of life in Wednesday's devastating typhoon. Estimates placed the homeless at 20,000 in the town of Naga, a prov- incial capital on Luzon Island. Red Cross relief workers prepared to leave on the first train tomorrow for Naga, apparently the most hard- hit of any city in the Islands. The four drowned off Catbalogan were lost when the gale overturned their launch. A fifth native was swept out into the ocean, but his fate was not definitely determined. Cat- balogan is the capital of Samar, an island in the Visayas group south of Luzon. Communication Destroyed Telegraphic communication between Manila and eleven provinces, mostly south of here, was disrupted by the storm, the worst of the series that have struck the Archipelago in the last six weeks. A few radio stations whose serials survived the terrific wind furnished the only communica- tion to those sections. Manila escaped the full force of the blast, but was swept by winds reach- ing & maximum of 48 miles an hour. Heavy rains which flooded some dis- tricts resulted in the dismissal of schools, halted shipping and brought railway service to a standstill. The provinces hardest hit by the |storm were cut off from direct com- munication but meager advices told of heavy destruction and of many missing persons.

Among the ships which may have been caught in the gale was the American oil tanker Larry Doheny, which nearly foundered in a storm three weeks ago. Sweeping up from the southeast of Island where the provinces of Samar, Leyete and Sorsogon were quickly isolated, the wind reached a recorded velocity of 48 miles an hour LIVINGSTON FARGO DIES AT AGB OF 74 Member of Family Who Found- ed Old Express Company Victim of Heart Attack Chicago, Nov. 15.—(?)—Livingston Wells Fargo, 74, member of the fam- ily that founded the Wells-Fargo Express company in the gold rush days of ’49, was found dead in his rooms at the Chicago club Wednes- day night, apparently the victim of a heart attack. The manager of the hotel said Fargo must have anticipated his death since recently he gave him the name of a sister to notify in case he died. Until his retirement 29 years ago to manage his extensive holdings of mining property on the Messabe Iron Range north of Duluth, Fargo was vice president of the old American Express company, the successor to the Wells-Fargo Express company. Fair Trade Rules of Blue Eagle Favored New York, Nov. 15.—(?)—The Blue Eagle, insofar as it makes for fair trade practices, still commands wide favor from: American industry. ‘This was the consensus of 125 edi- tors of business and trade publica- tions, queried on the operations of the codes. Replies indicated that most industries had profited by the fair trade rules, where enforcement machinery was ineffective. Price-fixing, however, won favor.
