The “bucket shop™ could not withstand steadily rising | prices, which are first aid to the | tipster. Despite activities of federal and | state governments and various busi- ness organizations to suppress news publications issued to induce buy- ers of spurious or worthless stock, and to halt the work of professional tipsters interested in promoting se- | curities of limited value, many of ! them have persisted in business. | Some are behind the bars or are 50 closely watched as to preclude | resumption of their nefarious ac- | tivities, but others, finding legitimate | avenues of public approach through | the mails or the press closed to | them, have temporarily substituted | the telephone or the telegraph for | the typewriter and give over the | wires the “hot tips” once a feature of their “market news sheets.” The “editorial room"” thus becomes a “boiler room" equipped with a bat- tery of telephones manned by silver- tongued salesmen whose talent fs employed to wheedle investments | from the unwary. It has been es- timated that telephone bills running | into thousands of dollars weekly have been paid by such establish- ments, so numerous have been the original calls, the “follow-ups” and the “high pressure” sales talks de- livered day and night in an effort to obtain.investments before the “opportunity” is lost. “Sucker lists,” as the catalogs of prospective in- vestors are known, are obtained in | many and devious ways and not even experienced market operators and | financiers are overlooked. | Investigations, which frequently | ond in suppression and punishment | of the offenders, but rarely produce concrete remuneration for duped in- veoiors, almost in. riably disclos similar characteristics in the opera- tions of promoters. Their “market news letters” mix reliable but an- cient observations with specific rec- ommendations for the accumulation of securities, which, it not spurious, are the h eculative, unlisted | and unsound stock of obscure, and not always goin erns.
