Judge Foster said he had been informed by
the District Attorney that the men We're merely

not think they ought to be heavily punished.

B4NKERS FEEL 4GGRIEFED.
DON'T WANT TO BE FORCED To TAKE OUT
SAME LICENSE AS BUCKET SHOP MEN

number Of Wall Street bankers feel aggrieved
because of a recent Interpretation OF the war rev
cnue law which holds that brokers who cannot
qualify for a license in Class No. l. which com
prises those who actually buy and deliver the
stocks for which they take orders. must take out
a license in Class No >. which includes ba nix
ers who take orders from their customers and put
those orders into the hands of brokers for exccu-
tion. But Class No. also includes the bucket
shop proprietors. and many reputable houses are
not willing 10 rank themselves with bucket shop
men by applying for the same kind Of license.
Steps have been taken therefore to make test
case. II is understood that Barring MaGoun & Co.
who affected by the ruling have set their legal
advisers TO work along this line. The government :
agent WIFI probably attach some Of the nrm's Office

houses OF high character. like Barring. Magoun q

upon them by being required To take out the same
kind Of license bucket shop but others fcol
