UTILITIES BILL

COMPROMISE

Really A Death Sentence

Washington, August 22,

New York utility experts express the opinion that the so called House compromise on the Wheeler Ray- - burn Bill which was accepted after the else of the Stock Market by a vote of 219 to 142, really con- stitutes a death sentence for the holding companiei? as it completes the Bill as originally proposed by the Senate.

That the passage of the Bill will surprise many operators is evidenced by the considerable

buying of utility issues during to-day's session. 'On this account many anticipate that there will be considerable selling to-marrow. The opinion is also expressed that the unfonding may be slow due to remaining hopea that the Bill will be found unconstitu- tional.

The compromise restricts the number of holding companies to one company and a sub-holding company for single integrated utility systems.

However,
