Carter Glass OF Virginia. Co
author Of the Federal Reserve
act and former Secretary Of the
Treasury. h bent. on Furnishing
speculatOrs.
He leans toward the view that
s5 per cent of the transactions
on the New York Stock Ex-
change constitute gambling, and
as a sOlOn he feels called upon
20 devise legislative means to
abate what he regards as ma
tional nuisance. He thinks that
the way to discourage speculation
Is 10 make 1t expensive. To the
existing state and Federal trans.
Ter taxes and existing income
taxes on profits. he would add
special penalty taxes.
He has drafted bill to levy
q per cent tax on stocks held
less than so days He has an
alternate plan of placing special
sJrtax on income earned from
stock speculation.
Such legislation. IL attempted,
would force Congress and ths
courts to define speculation-a
difficult task Though psycholog-
ically, gambling may resemble
speculation. the two concepts are
as wide apart as the poles in an
economic sense.
There Is, of course, no economic
justification for gambling Apart
from the ethics involved. gambling
is an economically wastful unpFe-
ductive activity. 1t is different in
kind from speculation
Speculation which is inevitable
in this world of uncertainties. en-.
tails the assumption of necessary
business risks, such as the hazard
as to whether the demand for auto
mobiles will be greater or less than
In the previous season. Such eco
nomic ris $ exist in the nature of
things and the business man or
farme. can in a measure shift
them to spectators whose role it
Is to assume hazards and fore
cast the future.
Gambling, on the other hand. en-
tails the assumption OF unnecesr
sary risks, such g., whether a
tossed coin will show the head or
the tail, or whether one thorough
bred will trot faster on a race
course than another No one has
to undertake such hazards. and
the gambler. unlike the speculator,
Is relieving no one else in assum-
ing them.
Some speculation is amateurish.
Ill advised, reckless, futile, waste

gambling. As a matter OF fact
som .ambling, though socially
undesirable, : based on a scientific
and careful study of statistics of
past performances.
Even the trader in the stock
market serves a purpose. He
offers an outlet for q needy in

bona fiSle investor Is disposed
to make q bid The liquidity At
stocks. which makes them good
collateral at banks, depends on
their ready stability al all times.
Moreover the SG-dav tax wouid
tend to discourage support buying
in panicky sessions by financiers
and banking affiliates, who some
times serve steadyfng influ ence
by buying for a trading turn at
emotional sessions when the public
has been seized with unreasoning
fears.

FIGHTS AGAINST
Use OF |NJUNCT|ONS
Head of Mine Workers Urges
Labor Federation to
Assist in Campaign.
Nv the Associated Press,

1y the Associated Press.
TORONTO, october 14.-'An urgent
campaign for Endorsement by the
American Federation of Labor CT
Federal legislative proposals he con-
siders will be effective in limiting use
Of court injunctions in labor disputes
was instituted today by John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
Lewis made a belated arrival yester-
day to attend the rest of the sessions
Of the federation'S annual convention
during the coming week, having been
held from earlier attendance by difficul-
Ties in his organization in Illinois.
mo organization is more concerned
with the campaign against the injunc-
ton power than the mine workers"
Mr.. Lewis said. and we've been greatly
disturbed by the failure of the fedora
ton to proceed effectively against in
junction use. Senator ShipStead of
Minnesota has a bill before Congress
which our lawyers inform us would be
unconstitutional, while Senator Walsh
of Montana and Senator Norris of
Nebraska have proposed a substitute
be entirely suitable.
THE failure of the federation to sup
port the Walsh-NorriS proposal and Its
support Of the ShipStead measure, have
resulted in loss OF one chance to get
the bill through the last session of
Congress and 1 hope that the error can
be retrieved at the next session"
He arranged to argue before the con-
vention's resolution committee on the
topic: but also discussed briefly the
miners union difficultieS in Illinois,
though remarking that he had to re-
spect the terms of q preliminary in
junction issued against his national
organization In the matter.
THE action Of the mine workers
national officers In Illinois is merely
routine matter" he asserted, "a sort Of
Q house cleaning. Offlcers Of the in
ternational union understand they have
the right to compel honest administra-
ton of subordinate districts.
THE membership of the mine work
ers in Illinois has repeatedly petitioned
the international union to clean up the
mess and it is our purpose to do so.
We shall adhere to the provisions of
the temporary injunction issued by the
Illinois court until the issues are de-
eided in that court
The injunction referred to was grant

union to prevent enforcement OF the
