NO, 16,816, WALL STREET’S DOUBLE CROSS. The double cross is a symbol which originated in the lower criminal i world, where crude signs are used by hoboes and yeggmen for their = ——mutuat information and guidance. 3 put it is new to find Robert Goelet, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob ‘Astor joining with -and-aiding Edward-H.-Harriman_to administer the double cross to Stuyvesant, Fish. “For twenty years Mr. Fish has been Pres Railroad. He administered its property consérvatively: He put first the - Anterests and dividends of the stockholders and kept out of pools and syndicates. As a result the stock of the Illinois Central is owned by the } people of the territory through which it runs. The State of Illinois its Governor is one of its directors. Instead. of enriching * himself through his opportumities as a_rail- road ‘president, Mr. Fish increased ‘dividends to the stockholders, In- stead of giving rebates to great cor- porations and to predatory trusts he adjusted his freight rates for the best prosperity of the people of the ter- ritory which his road served. His stock was not speculative, so it brought no profits to the Walt .. Wtreet gamblers. He did not issue securitles through milking syndicates, ‘poxthe Wall street pawnbrokers got no usury through him. \ ‘ JAlltthls was opposed to the Wall street code, which regards honesty tfolly and the falthful, performance of a trust as a lost opportunity. { But Mr. Fish’s fidelity to the 1fnols Central might have been over- _ Sootted {n these present troublous times had he been willing’ to bow to] = the: powers of evil which contro! the Mutual Life Insurance Company. [f+ 5M, Fish was one ofthe trustees of the Mutual Life, innocent of g "guilt himself and unconscious of the crimes of his associates. As soon »gp he learned that the policy-holders had been robbed by their trustees fhe protested, and as a member of the Truesdaie Committee-he insisted on full investigation as_preliminary_to-compulsory_restitution. This was intolerable. It was bad enough for Mr. Fish to prevent the Wall street blg thieves from robbing the Illinois Central. It was a heinous offense to ask them to restore what they had stolen from the Mutual- Life's policy-holders. : Charles A. Peabody, President of the Mutual Life, fs an ‘llinols Central director.
