Elijah E. Knott accuses the New York Stock Exchange of being “the most un-American institution” in the country. It is the guardhouse of all corrupt, law-defying corporations and goes against Theodore Roosevelt’s policies. New York should break up this monopoly. Knott suggests Roosevelt write an article for The Outlook on regulating stock markets.
