The tragedy had the effect Of drawing
employer and employees together in
way that never could have been brought
about in any other way. Wall Street
before the break was naughty. During
the break in many Offices all ranks from
office boys to the president could be
seen gathered around the tickers in
complete democracy. Chief executives
who ordinarily would hold their confer
ences behind closed doors and maintain
an official attitude to SubordinateS could
be seen gathered in little anxious knots
out in the omen ofice. They made alb
selutely no effort to hide their anxiety.
On the day before the rally many large
houses were on the brink of bankruptcy.
The game was almost up and large
number of employees believed they soon
would be looking for jobs. This was
frankly admitted.
Sympathy and Loyalty.
Clerks and secretaries wanted to show
the sympathy they felt for the Big
Bosses. The girls who day by day sit
and take dictation in stony silence tried
in hundred ways to show their loyalty
during the disaster. Wall Street was
drawn together in one Dig SoFroWIul
family. When executives and clerks
worked side by side for 70 hours at
stretch weary and tired-eyed. snatching
a sandwich and cup Of coffee at their
desks, human qualities came to the top.
Each class admired the pluck and cour-
age of the other. 1t was something like
the spirit of comradeship that springs
up among men after they nave passed
/ through battle and storm.
But Wall Street wanted to laugh even
If the laugh sounded little hysterical.
Scores of Jokes found their way into
circulation Anything 70 stop talking
about ruin and losses Many Of these
Jokes are unprintable, Of course, but
they were surprisingly witty.
One man stopped another and said,
BILL, I'm on my feet for the first time
in years" The other stared increduous-
ly. How did you do it, al, in this
market?" II sold my automobile" said
