The meeting was for or would do.
Not A Good Speech.
Green told rambling story Of the
fur workers strike in New York, try
ing to say that Ben Gold invited an
investigation during the strike, but
that the president Of the A. F.. Of l..
and its executive board would not do
this while the strike was on. When
the struggle was ended, he thot they
should investigate, and knew they
would find startling facts, which how
ever, were even more startling than
could be expected.
81 wish / could tell you what all
these facts were" said Green, and
thus neatly skipped past another
point.
Fat Boys Were There.
The platform at the special meet
ing was crowded with trade union
bureaucrats. They included, Mat
thew VOL, Edward McGrady, Hugh
Frayne, and John Sullivan. Joseph
P. Ryan, president Of the council, pre-
sided.
Ryan spoke briefly before intro
ducing the first speaker. He said
that the American Federation of La
Dor has been asked by the Furriers
Union to remove the Communists
from their ranks.
Capitalist Reporters.
The capitalist press was well re-
presented. Before the opening Of the
meeting Louis Stark, labor editor Of
the New York Times and John
OTeary Of the World bowed to Presi-
dent Green.
The composition of the meeting
was different from that of any or
binary Central Trades meeting. Fifty
per cent of the audience were Jewish,
readers of the Forward, while a resu-
lar meeting Of the council would be
CONSPICUOUS by their absence.
Bribery.
Green read off bewildering list
Of names, of figures, of police sup
posed to have been bribed and Of
unionists supposed to have bribed
them, but gave no proof, and again
ducked aside from any definite state
ment as to whether Tammany Halls
honest cops had been bought out by
Moscow, or not. Apparently the often
reiterated fact that the police were
with the right wing must have struck
even Green as a little contradictory
to this part of his charges.

Speculation is strong meat for the
amateur. who usually loses.
Sometimes readers write to me TO
inquire about safe speculation. They
might as well ask for dry water or
square circles. Speculation deals with
uncertainties and risks-not with GER
tainties.
In practice, risk varies greatly in
different securities, and the specula-
tive element is not entirely free from
some investment issues. The twilight
zone between the two is often blurred.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Art of Speculation.

AT the latter stage of bull cycle
in the security markets, such as the
country is now witnessing. specula-
ton becomes especially hazardous.
Successful speculation is for the
gifted few. 1t Is too fraught with
dangers for the untutored multi
tudes. Only those equipped with
adequate capital and financial intelli-
gence have any real chance to sue
coed at speculation. Speculative
dilettantes constitute the suckers
who pour funds into the whirlpool
which never return. Specula ton is
the conscious assumption of risks in
the hope of gain. Investment Is the
purchase of securities which assure
safety of principal and regularity
of income. Any competent invest
ment banker will point out to his
clients whether a particular issue is
speculative or not.
The successful speculator has a
rare capacity to think independently
and to act instantaneously.
Spectator Needs Courage.
Courage also is essential. In COM
menting on this aspect of the sub
ject in his new book. Security
Speculation-the Dazzling Adven-
ture" (Harper's), Laurence Sloan.
managing editor of the Standard
Statistics Co., says that the hypo-
thetical speculator, whose operations
over a period of years are described,
needed courage:
"G) Courage to risk his money at
times when the majority of secu-
rity spectators were too timid to
do so;
"(2) Courage to take his profits
at times when the majority of secu-
rity spectators had not even began
to crafty their greed;
"(3) Courage to sit idly on the side
lines and watch prices mount higher
and higher after he had sold; courage
likewise to sit idly by and, If neces.
sary,. watch prices fall for a time
after he had bought. In other words,
courage to play for the long swing,
only for the long swings. and to be
