Promises Expose Which Will

Seem Tame

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-With an
expose of facts regarding the financial
underworld, which he says will make
his charges of eight years ago seem
tame and mild by comparison, Thorn
as w. Lawson will reopen his war on
Wall street in the October number of
Eyerybody's magazine.
In "the remedy" which IS to be the
completion of the work, "oniy begun
in frenzied finance, Lawson will
charge that the real cause of the high
cost of living is sure-thing gambling
on the stock exchange. He says tnav
the people are robbed through the
exchange Of between two and three
billion dollars annually The closing
of the exchange will be the first,
great object of his new fight
Lawson predicts that the next eight
years will tell whether this country Is
to be dumped with the moss and
slime-covered ruins of Rome"
The people know that they are be-
ing hurt unto death. but do not know
what is hurting them. he says. The
purchasing power of their income, he
points out, has been cut in half in for.
ty years Lawson announces that with
a smash at the systems solar plexus,
he will point the way to win back the
low cost of living and fair division
