Letter from Henry B. Joy to Arthur L. Holmes

Subject(s): Corporations, Hughes, Charles Evans, 1862-1948, New York Stock Exchange, Stocks

Henry B. Joy is busy and finds it difficult to arrange an interview with Arthur L. Holmes and prefers that he write a letter instead. He comments on washed sales on the New York Stock Exchange and how they mostly stopped under Governor Charles Evans Hughes’s administration. Joy feels that America is strangling business enterprise and industry unnecessarily through prejudice towards corporations, which pose no threat if adequately regulated.
