TELEPHONE CLERK TO HAVE SEAT IN N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The removal of class barrier to the stock exchange, which in the past has been considered rather as an exclusive club with a limited membership, was emphasized through the announcement that a telephone clerk for a Broadway brokerage firm is to be advanced to full membership on the board as soon as arrangements for the purchase of the seat have been completed. This is the second instance in two weeks in which a uniformed employee of the exchange has become a full member. One reason ascribed for the promotion of employees is the heavy business done in securities. Messengers and telephone clerks of long experience at once become assets to their firms without a period of "breaking in."
