"Blue Sky" Bill Laid Over For More Study The Blue Sky bill, which has already passed the House and Is now In the Committee on Corporations in the Sen ate, is no nearer solution to-day than it was two weeks ago when the Senate committee granted its first hearing on the measure. At that time opponents of the measure came here and asked that they be given more time to study it and prepare amendments which would make it workable. Another hearing was fixed [ for to-day and again the opponents of ! the measure explained that the prob lem is such a big one that considerable more time is needed to work out amend ments which would make it a feasible measure. Thomas M. Gates and Albert E. Tur ner. Philadelphia, and Major David A. Reed, of Pittsburgh, came here to-day to oppose the bill in its present form. The purposes of the bill are to drive illegitimate sellers of stocks, bonds and securities from the State and also to put an end to the sale of bogus se curities and stocks in Pennsylvania.
