Thomas W. Lawson Noted Bear Operator and Author;
The Man Who Invented New Form Of Stock Gambling

the cornerstone OF the new Amalsamat-
ed Copper company, which was organ
lied in the spring OF 1901 under the
laws OF New Jersey with capital Of
sl55,OOO,00o. He is virtually the found
er OF Amalgamated, and without him II
never would have existed. From the
moment when he began 10 sell Butte
short IN the stock market Lawson's
progress In the financial world has been
meteoric He soon became sole owner
OF a producing mine, Trinity, valued At
more than 100000, and his holdings
In Amalgamated and other mines we're
soon double that amount
Lawson was born with the bear in
stinet. Before he went largely into
copper he was known as the most per-
sstent bear IN the Boston market lie
was regarded as the ideal operator for
the short side. He had good judgment
and he was cool enough to Withstand all
shocke. His methods were daring and
original. He has had no reason to
abandon them. and they are tae same
today IS they were at first. Armed
with facts, real or otherwise he enters
the arena prepared to shove a stock
down to the last notch. AZ the same
time he assalls Il in the press with ar
guments and statements that cannot be
met OF the moment and all the time he
Is selling II short IN enormous blocks.
At first these tactics unneryed the mar

anybody that a stock could be bonn

tabllshed the reputation OF being hard

to influence the acts of the committee.
