BUCKET SHOPS. CROOKS AND LOSSES.

DUCKET shops and financial swnders operating in
lB Delaware and other states, have within the last four
years defrsuded the investors OF America tn extent OF
more than s6OOOOo0OOO according TO the York
respondent OF the Washington Post Investigation by the
POSTS correspondent develops the fact that amount in
OF s5OO00OOO extracted from investors
by sharpers during 1921 II these figures to be
cepted anywhere accurate, It per capita
loss for every and child in the United States
about 81 for the year Bucket shop" operations are
blamed for much OF this.
A campaign is being launched by organization OF
legitimate bankers and brokers' backed by the New York
stock Exchange the American Bankers Association, and
the New York Bankers Association, to blot out this
canker in the financial system Of the country
The method OF operation Of the lucket shops varied
Interesting. The story Of their activities as told oy
financial expert disclosed adventures with other peoples
money as romantic fiction. He said
"A bucket shop is financial house which conducts a
fictitious business in securities Stocks bonds sell
dom purchased orders from clients Partners in these
try outguess the public the movement Of The
market and usually do. For this reason when client
places an order the fake broker merely makes book
keeping entry to that effect When the entry shows the
customers money lost according to market quo
iatons the client notified to put up more for margin
or be wiped out"
bucket shop is seldom connected with the stock Ex-
change. To buy stocks listed the exchange, the
bucketeer has to give order TO exchange member
This means mat ne sacrluces All COMMISSIONS Oh Nlc
deal Therefore, nducement to the public, bucket
shop usually informs clients IL does not charge more than
per cent on debit balances growing out Of marginal
purchases no matter high the call money rate goes
They are able to do this because the has never
held any stock or had a debit balance
One good indication that brokerage Arm is buckle
shop he says the refusal OF the Stock Exchange to
grant permit for a stock ticker. When brokerage nm
wants stock ticker, application must be made to the
quotation committee Of the exchange II they show
clean bin OF financial health and are considered above
suspicion they are granted permission to use ticker
Otherwise they refused and refusal generally means
that something is wrong somewhere.
Where house is granted ticker and the exchange
later learns business is not being conducted on the level
lie machine IS ripped out without delay.
Some bucket shops have a policy Of buying about one
third Of the securities ordered by customers. This is
done for protection in case OF unexpected visit by the
authorities In case securities they supposed to be
holding for clients are demanded they in this way,
show part Of them and claim the remainder have been
placed as collateral loans.
Delawareans should fight shy OF such gentry.

ment property scattered all over the
country, and they were collecting
and forwarding supplies to our army
in Europe. In these two millions also
are included the multitudes of our
fellow Americans who spent a very
large portion Of their time at office
desks, which is no reproach to them,
however, as the clerical work in
volved was Of vital Importance and
absolutely necessary to the army
and the country.
In spite Of all that has been said
above, the State Of Delaware, if we
are rightly informed, is wholly in
the dark as to the ATTITUDE of its rep
resentatives in the councils Of the
nation so far as the bonus is con-
cerned.
While the number of votes to be
affected by this question is no doubt
considerable, this should not affect in
the slightest degree our representa-
tives in Washington, who are there,
as we understand it, for the pur-
pose Of guarding and protecting the
interests Of Delaware and of its citi-
zens as well as for the support Of
the highest ideals and best tradi-
tions of the country at large as our
state has always done in the past.
We call upon Senators L. Heisler
