MOTERS AT WORK
THE WORLDS WORK MAGAZINE
TELLS OF THE ARTS EMPLOY.
ED BY THE HORDES OF GRAFT
Frs WHO INFEST COUNTRY.

A mining stock promoter recently
brought suit against a mining stock
broker-one Of those whose catchy
advertisements in the Sunday papers
are productive of good harvests-to
recover a large sum of money. He
charged that the broker had made a
contract to sell to the public large
amount OF the stock, that he had
then turned around AMI Smashed"
the stock, and had scientifically
swindled the promoter.
Little effort was made to meet the
charges. A representative of the
broker is alleged to have made this
statement:
"Mr. R simply did what any
other broker would have done under
the circumstances. He looked out for
number one There is no sentiment
down here, you know 1t is a case
Of grab all you can, and can all you
can't realize on. 1t Is all legitimate
enough down here in Wall street.
This code of ethics is commended
to the thought and attention Of the
many thousands of people who deal
everay month with Mr. R and
his type. For the type, unhappily, is
very common. These are the vultures
Of the financial world.
Four of the leading newspapers of
New York city carried in their Sun
day editions on one day in July-a
dull month-the advertisements Of
twenty-One so-called banking firms
that are engaged in these swindling
operations. There may have been
many more, for there were twenty
six other bankers" advertising their
wares and their services for sale
whose character l do not know. Some
of them are probably legitimate: but
most of them certainly are of the
"fly-by-night" order.
The ethics and the methods of the
stock swindler are so familiar and
we'll known in Wall street and in the
business world of New York that it
seems almost puerile to talk about
them. Yet the crop of victims never

ceases. Letters by the hundred come
to The Worlds Work telling of sue
cessful efforts made by statesmen for
mining companies to dupe honest
men out of their fortunes, and OF
tremendous newspaper advertising
campaigns carried on In the far cor
ners of the land to sell worthless
mining, industrial, wireless or plan
tation stocks at high prices.
The public seems never to under
stand the art of advertising as used
by these blackguards. For instance,
there has been for the past few
months an active and skilful cam
paign along the Pacific coast to dis
tribute, at 800 per cent, the stock of
a wireless concern that never has
paid dividends, that has few assets
but a charter and bunch of worth
less paper, which 1t lists at millions
Of dollars In it's balance sheet under
the caption stocks and bonds Of
other companies.
The method of carrying on this
campaign Is typical of the method
used all over the country, by a hun
dred similar concerns. First, a skill
full and not too scrupulous local agent
Is paid a commission on his sales, as
this method ensures his putting every
effort into the work. Advances are
allowed him to pay for advertising in
local papers, and a full course of in
struction in the most successful meth
DDS Is given him by mail or by word
of mouth.
The advertising is lavish. Some
times full pages are taken in the
best papers in the local towns. if the
best papers will accept it. Day by
day, the reader of the newspaper sees
these glowing accounts of wonderful
accomplishments. He reads them, in
time, as he reads the news. The more
unprincipled of the papers will run
them in the news columns, without
anything to indicate that they are
paid for in cash by the promoters.
The price of the stock starts low.
If you happen to be caught in the
'first flight" you may get the stock
at. say $40 share After a month
or two, you note that it has gone UP
to SIS. You regret that you did not
get in at the low price Later still, it
goes up to SIS. In time, perhaps, if
the game holds out, your eyes will
blink as you see that the stock which
you refused at $40 has become a
'gilt-edged" stock, and is selling at
$50, or 800 per cent And the ad-
vertisements promise you that before
very long it will be worth 500.
This is all very alluring, indeed.
The average green" investor out in
the country thinks he is reading the
wonderful story of very wonderful
