It will be argued that if the brokers chose to band themselves into a protective association that is their own business and should copcera nobody else. In rebuttal of that statement, it is advanced that the mercantile firms and com- mission agents are likely to be better served when no clique exists and the brokera operate in active and legitimate, competition against one another to serve the interests of their prin- cipals.
