DEPUTY COLLECTORS VIEWS

Bucket shop keepers did show any marked evil

fraternity called upon A. B. Wood. Deputy Col

Several reputable firms sent representatives TO
Mr.. Wood TO apply for licenses. provided by
the law
why these firms which I know to be in good
standing, applied for licenses to do a bucketing
business is mystery to me-" said Mr.. Wood. II
asked the young men who brought the checks with
which to pay for their licenses If their firms had
ever done dishonest business. They answered in
surprised negative. Their firms had given the
matter little thought that they did not realize
that they were abo IT make virtual confessions

Personally, I think the outlook for the suppress

surprised TO hear that several brokers had ex-
pressed the belief that the brokers under class 2.
or their lawyers. would find way TO circum-
vent the law. To illustrate: Suppose should ap-

Il think that the bucket shop people will make
this point their main argument against the neces-
