THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) GOMPERS PASSES Samucl Gompers was called “the grand old man of labor.” aad piloted the American Federation of Labor through sony stormy periods in two score years as its head. He} von many a political battle for control, and he dominated ‘vaerican labor's policy. sGaniers enjoyed the respect of many captains of indus- toy, although often they felt they w inherently opposed | 1) his position, or disagreed with him for other reasons. H»! it the American Federation of Labor into a great organ- iantion, and he did much to preserve it from the ills attend- ng laber movements in Europe. Gompers believed essentially in the dignity of labor. He pperted strikes, but he did not support murder or revo- ton. He believed in the craft system—a survival of the Guild system of olden days. He believed efficiency of or- od labor was its greatest asset. He fought the Com-} anism of Russia, and long opposed the movement for a ber perty in this nation. Gompers held labor could be ve: successful in politics in supporting friends of labor, +ud believed that labor should be free to go to Congress as iy other interests or citizens and ask fair dealing.

The stock jmarket boom and business revival will soon be accompanied by another mushroom growth of bucket shops and fake ‘stocks. New “sucker lists” are being prepared and old ones ‘dusted off. i |. Such is the warning from legitimate brokers and other ifinancial men. ~ Fraudulent stock promoters this year will take a billion jdollars—1000 millions!—from the American people. This is the estimate by Henry L. Doherty, the investment banker. He says, “Americans are the most gullible investors of money in the world.” That's true. Being the most prosperous nation, we have 'more to invest—more for sound investments, more for fakes. People read about men making big cleanups in the stock markets, and others wha became rich through fortunate small investments. Such things happen, occasionally. But for every one who really makes a big winning, thousands upon thousands lose out. We don’t recall who started the saying, “Nothing ven- ture, nothing have.” But it might very well have been a | promoter of fake stocks, in one of his glowing circulars. “Nothing venture, nothing have” is cynicism. It is false more often than true. Usually the final result is “Something \venture, nothing have.” A minority of men do “clean up” by seemingly taking \chances. But they generally take their chances on reason- Certainly they don’t place their bets on wild-cat stocks that offer fabulous profits. When fabulous profits are in sight with any degree of possibility, the general investment public doesn’t get a look- see. Money comes hard. It goes easy. The stock swindlers are setting traps. Wise men will invest warily, if at all, remembering the enormous number of victims of the stock swindling epidemics of the past. | IN NEW YORK | . New York, Dec. 13.—This paradox they call New York.
