American Industries a paper published in the interest of
manufacturers publishes an article the purport of which is that
there is a system of graft being operated in the American Feder-
ation of Labor for the benefit of officers walking delegates
solicitors etc. by which the salary of those who benefit by it
become an inconsequential part of their earnings. It is proposed
by American Industries to show through a series of Articles
just how manufacturers are being imposed upon by what is termed
tne "system" of organized labor. If organized labor and em-
ployers are really being imposed upon in the way intimated they
will both be benefited by showing up those who use the organiza-
tion for the purpose of personal gain but American Industries
has set a large task for itself.
LAWSON HEARD FROM.
Tom Lawson ha5? issued a letter to the press of the country
on the financial situation. It is difficult for one not versed in
the financial terms and methods of Wall Street to interpret its
fall meaning and also to explain in a few sentences what Lawson
does not make perfectly plain in an article of 7500 words. In
addition to explaining the cause he undertakes to suggest a cure
for the recent troubles. His thorough acquaintance witn financial
methods and his apparent ability to grasp a situation will attract
genera1 attention from the people. In substance he says that the
panic is due to the creation of fictitious wealth and values and
the fleeciner of the people by the playing up and dowa of stocks
and bonds for the purpose of robbing those who have. earne the
money of the country. He says that by manipulation of the
stock markets done with the m jney of depositors in the eastern
banks and trust companies officials of the banks ami their trusted
allies will run up the various stocks to many times their real
value unload on the unsuspecting public then depress prices and
buy back rapin millions upon millions by such transactions.
He cits as one instance the in:!ation of Atlantic Steam-hip sf
curities'from $250 Kf.OtO to $15 1.000000 by a trust combination
the purchase of these securities at 15001 M)000 w it h the rrioney
of depositors in New York bank ani trut com: u . borrowed
from the -banks by the 'promoters of the .trust combination and
secured only by the pledging of the securities themselves. Which
cannot really be Worth inore thaft $25000000. The game of fi-
nance is. worked in this way according to Lawson over and
over again to the enrichment of the financial schemers and t ) the
loss of the depositors. A lumber of promoters will get together
and organize a trust company or bank say with a half million
dollars capital stock. The bank will after a time secure deposits
of several million dollars. Tne individuals composing the bank
or their "friends" will as individuals buy up some cheap Dutside
properties say at $100000. They will combine these into some
kind of a trust inflate the "securities" to $1000000 by the is-
suance of bonds in that amount go to the bank and borrow the
$1000000 belonging to the depositors.depnsiting the "securities"
as collateral or selling the bonds outright. In such a case the
bank would have parted with 1000.000 belonging to its deposi-
tors and would in fact have only securities worth at most no more
than $100000. It does not take much of a financier to see that
while the promoters of such a scheme create wealth for them-
selves the banks part with depositors money to do it without
any real security. These methods have been exposed through the
press by Lawson and other writers depositors have seen in-
stances of such speculation at their expense and as a result they
have become scared of the eastern banks and have demanded their
deposits. The banks that were deepest in this kind of specula-
tion have been protected by the stronger banks which have
vonoroH the result of failure of the speculating banks and so all

fare which he is waging on them will be continued to their ruin.
They have therefore under the plea of "inability to finance busi-
ness" or "because of lack of confidence" closed every manufac-
tory possible creating thousands and thousands of empty winter
dinner pails in the hope of making Roosevelt's election impossi-
ble. He thinks that Roosevelt through the lack of knowledge
of finance and through unsound advice has pursued the wrong
policy in dealing with the eastern banks. Instead of urging the
people to Dlace their money back in these banks where it could
again be used for the same base purposes and instead of rush
ing funds from the government to the rescue of these institu-
tions Lawson thinks Roosevelt should have ordered a quic-k a
thorough and a convincing investigation of every banking in-
stitution in New York and should have let the public .know the
exact status of every bank there showing just what banks have
loaded up on these fake securities and what are doing a safe
business. This would he thinks have created immediate confi-
dence in the good banks and have placed others out of business.
He now favors the appointment of a banking commission to be
elected at once by congress to make this exhaustive kind of an
investigation and he Urges that men above reproach like Gover-
nor Johnson of Minnesota and other-of his kind without any re
gard to politics be appointed on this commission men whose
statements will be accepted with confidence. He would have
these men clothed with ample authority to expose the rotten
banks and to commend the honest ones. He thinks that such
action while it may be styled sentimentally radical would imme-
diately even before the investigations begins restore confidence
not only on the part of Americans but of all the world and the
result would be a few suicides of rascally bank looters a few ex-
posures of institutions that have long ago failed in reality hav-
ing robbed depositors of their earnings and a rush of the people
who have hoarded their money to place it with banks of recogniz
ed standing. Such in brief are the mam points ot the Lawson
letter and all will admit that it is one well worth closest consid-
eration of the nation.
