' J. P. TAKES A PARTING
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10
J. P. Morgan’s parting shot last
night at his Senate investigators
was a vigorous condemnation ot
the publicity given the selected list
of clients which he said resulted
in “unwarranted criticism of our
customers. This unjust criticism,
we feel deeply,” said a statement
filed ^at the banking house at the
close of the three weeks hearings.
Just a bit earlier the financier
watched other lists placed on the
banking committee’s records which
showed bargain price sales of
John-Mansville stock in June of
1927 to Morgan company’s official
family at one price to prominent
men and to outsiders, $10 higher.
The list included such names as
William H. Woodin, Norman H.
Davis, Owen D. Young, J. J. Ras
cob and scores of others.
Thos. W. Lamont was told to
prepare himself for certain ques
tions next fall.

PRESENT STOCK BOOM
OEFIES ANALYSIS, SAIO
NEW YORK, June 10.—Historic
ally the present boom in stock
prices and commodities defies an
alysis. There has been nothing
like it before, except, possibly,
right after the panic of 1837.
That excepton of nearly 10G
year* ago, however, was a short
lived recovery. It was purely an
inflation spurt, and such gains as
were made then failed to hold.
All other recoveries from bear
markets have had some firm,
sound base, such as definite busi
ness or crop news, or a return to
hard money.
WAGES INCREASED
