of laws, it is charged that the work
ers have been unable to secure legis-
lation to protect them against griev-
GUS wrongs except after exhausting
struggles against overwhelming odds
and against insidious influences.
Second, it is charged that after
wholesome and necessary laws are
passed, they are in large part multi
fled by the courts upon technicalities
of a character which would not be
held to inyalidate legislation favorable
to the interests of manufacturers, mer-
chants, bankers, and other property
owners, or thrown out on the broad
ground of unconstitutionality through
strained or illogical construction of
constitution provisions.
Third, that in the administration Of
| law, both common and statute, there
! is discrimination by the courts against
I the poor and in favor of the wealthy
and powerful, and that this discrimi-
nation arises not only from the eco
nomis disabilities of the poor, but also
| out of the actual bias On the part of
the Judges in favor of the wealthy and
| influential.
Fourth, that courts have not only
neglected or refused to protect work
ers in the rights guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States, and
Il of the several states, but that sec
lions Of the constitution framed pri-
marily to protect human rights have
been perverted to protect property
rights only, and to deprive workers of
the protection of righTs secured to
them by statutes
Fifth, that the ordinary legal ma
chinery provides no adequate means
whereby laborers and other poor men
can secure redress for wrongs inflict-
ed upon them through the non-pay-
ment of wages, through over-charges
at company stores, through exorbi-
tant hospital and other fees, fines and
deductions, through fraud on the part
of private employment offices, loan
offices and installment houses, and
through the grating" of foremen and
superintendent. The losses to wage
earners from these sources are stated
to amount each year to millions of
dollars and to work untold hardship
on class of men who can i'll afford
| to lose even a penny Of their hard
won earnings.

stop Loss Orders.
There was again some talk about tie
activities of strong bear party, but the
real trouble with the market was very
obvious. 1t was hurried and drastic
liquidation Of speculative accounts
chiefly in the commission houses. The
reaction had gone far enough not only
TO brighten spectators who came in

been long OF the market all the way up
The market was therefore honeycombsd
with top loss orders. placed by persons
who wanted to save what was left of
their paper profits and by others who
had not been able to deposit larger mar
gins when called. In market like that
which has prevailed in the war brides
the broker naturally insists upon the
placing OF stop loss orders rs an addi-

margins are not all they should he. There
