TORIES TO FIGHT STATE

Special Gable to THE New York HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, by THE NEW York HERALD.
sNew York Herald Bureau,
London, Feb. II.
Irish peace is surrounded by more
since the truce. Lord Birkenhead, the
Chancellor, stated in the House of
Lords to-day. This is the most grave,
the most critical period within living
memory
And were IL not for the skill-or
luck-of' Prime Minister Lloyd George
the situation might easily be all the
Chancellor described it to be. Michael
Collins, head of the provisional Gov
ernment, left Dublin tonight for Lon
don and he and Mr.. Lloyd George, it
is probable, will evolve some definite
plan to check the attacks upon Irish
peace, both IN the Parliament and in
ireland.
The kidnapping of Ulsterites on the
border has stirred the Tories. who
probably will try to introduce an
amendment to the second reading Of
the Free State bill tomorrow.
The suspension OF the evacuation of
British troops from Ireland is being used
feverishly by the irreconcilable Republi-
cans to attack the provisional Govern
ment on the oft repeated grounds that
they have been deceived again by Eng
land. -. Bitter animosity has been ar
reused In the north through the border
incidents of the last week. Winston
Churchill did his best to make the troop
movements harmless by explaining In
the Commons that the sole reason for
stopping the evacuation was the threat
ening situation along the northern oor-
der and not due 10 any condition In
south ireland.

$4,000 a Month Expenses.

For our purposes let us take just an
average bucket shop. The composite
figures on operating expenses of four
or five of the ordinary brand of insti-
tutions. as estimated from cases ac-
tually investigated by an attorney for
creditors, shows monthly cost of ap-
proximately $4,000.
Those expenses are itemizcd as fol-

ployees retained, he probably would
be able to arrive at some conclusions
of his own, which, to say the least,
would arouse an extremely uncom-

Just how does legitimate broker
make his profit?
Three Kinds of Fair Profit.
The sources are three, and aside
from those three there is virtually no
manner in which broker can take a

money. They are these:
a commission for the purchase
and sale of securities.
Interest charges for money lent
in margin transactions.
And more or less nominal carry
ing charges.
Now, before going into the details
OF what becomes of these sources of
income in a bucket shop. let us digress
long enough to find out something
about what it costs to run bucket
shop.
That, of course, depends on the size
of the concern. There are bucketeers
who manage to do very well, in a
small way, with desk space, a tele-
phone and sucker list"
ON the other hand, the testimony
given in the receivership examinations
into the $i,Oo0.Ooo failure of DER &

nothing of other operating expenses
