By strong rule the market, and continuing to sell they lower considerably the price of the Stock.

There is very great doubt that the will is and that it should be stopped if possible. The recent cases of embezzlement by bank officials, thereby either mining or manipulating, have caused harm to those who have bought and injuring the Stock.

It is done without right, by depreciating the value to the detriment of bona fide Shareholders, and others which have been unravelled at the Criminal Sessions had.

No doubt their reckless and rash speculation has done no good, and this is done by unscrupulous speculators who have no interest in the Stock. If only the regular, what I would call professional, speculators were ruined gamblers, it would not be such a public matter as it has become, but many men and others who have risked a great deal of money on indexed shares for the future, trusting in fair promises that they will be fairly dealt with, and afterwards find that they are exposed to acts which are not far removed from being criminal.

The proposed law would not interfere with legitimate business or speculation and would be welcomed by all except a few jobbers, speculators, and Brokers. On the other hand, it is urged against the Bill that it is a serious interference with the freedom of contract, which should not be restricted unless public interests require it.

That there are no public interests involved but only the relief and protection of private individuals.
