Why Wall street should be con- ]
sidered liects.s. ry to the national
< xisti'iice. i;:;.T--!4 rs ran best explain,
its methods of operations are like
!m ist a 1: st< . chan s identleal
with any gambling hell. But al
though the reformers have attacked
man> kinds of gambling they have
tailed to make any effort to inter
fere with this higher form of the
sport which is patronized by so
many of the elite. And it is an object
lesson mtoii capitalist morality that
while very particular about the vices
of the poor, their own vices they
place upon a higher plane as if too
lofty to be touched. They are in ef
fect respectable.
Now take the recent flurry in Wall
street following tlie peace announce
ments. Someone apparently got in
side dope on the Lansing pie
pared statement and upon the Wil
son note to the belligerents asking
that they state upon what terms
they will make peace. Thereupon
those specially favored ones make a
selling raid upon the exchange. With
that secret information in their
brains and which they know will
cause uncertainty as to some stocks,
they walk into the market where
things are normal, and they begin
to sell stocks which they haven’t
got, but which they intend to buy
for those to whom they sell when
the market drops. Having sold their '
portion the news that was secret
begins to leak about and soon the
shares which they sold at the open
ing of the market begin
to drop and collapse, so
that the wise ones making
the selling raid can buy in with a
handsome profit and await another
favorable chance to sell for another
drop when they can again buy. i
That is dignified by the name of i
business, hut even to call it gamb- ’
ling would he to give it a respect- i
ability which it does not possess. I
me man who wen: into tne ex
change with secret information of
the Lansing statement and the Wil
son note and who with that infor
mation 1:is, began to sell stocks to
liis fellow brokers who had no such
inside information, simply took the
money from the other man, pre
cisely in the same way that any
thieving is done. The only difference
apparently between tin- thieves of
Wall street and the thieves who find
their way into the penitentiary, is
that there is some honor among the
latter while the former would fleece
their host friend.
Mow the morality that finds its re
alization upon Wall street is the cur
rent morality of capitalism. It is
as rotten as can well he, hut they
deodorize it with long screeds about
high finance and the like, so that
no one can feel compelled to notice
‘lie fact that it stinks. Vet com
pared to the ordinary gambling
hell wh*-re any kind of an even
break is afforded, the den on Wall
str et is a sink of crookedness, ob
taining. what the othi r does not,
formal, legal, conventional and soc
ial approval.
Anything that the capitalist class
endorses is formally recognized as
moral.
VKMZKLOK.
There is one man who may have
some little concern about alt this
peace talk, although his name has
not been mentioned and that is the
Cretan statesman named Venizelos.
This engineer of revolt in favor ot
the Allies is likely to find himself In
the outside where Is plenty of wall
ing and weeping if the Allies make
peace just now. Putting his faith
in alien princes and allowing him
self to be the pawn of forces which
have about as much use for him
personally as they have for any
oiner tool, his position upon peace
being declared is not likely to be an
enviable one.

Those were Interesting figures that fo
Secretary of Labor Wilson published
as to labor's good fortune during the
year. One would imagine that the
workers were rolling in abundant
riches to read about these profit
sharing and bonuses and wage in
creases.
The ominous fact remains that
equivalent to the wage increase ana
more have been the increase in the
costs of living which wipes out the
former as an improvement factor.
But there has been more work of
course and that is a blessing—may
be.
“Here ve are.Ikey”, says the car
toonist in the Masses, depicting
two garments workers back on the
job after the strike ended in a de
feat “and back again on vests and
pants. Vat did we get out of it all?”
“Veil,” replies the philosophic Ikey,
“Ve got a rest anyway”.
The present prosperity for the
workers means the more intensive
labor, less leisure, greater produc
tion of profits and actually less
wages because of their diminished
purchasing power. They do not even
get the rt'st.
THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE.
The Miners’ Union smoker on
rTiristmas Eve was an unqualified
success. There were the wealth pro
lucers, the workers of the commu
lity and upon whom tlie prosperity
>f the community materially depends
For once in a while they had a rc
tnion of a social nature where they
•ould enjoy themselves with the
ighter side of life.
It is not a frequent event, and
he reason it is not frequent is due
o the economic circumstances of
heir existence.
Vet ther is no other reason why
he workers should not enjoy them
iclves. There is no valid reason
vhy the workers should not have
nore leisure wherein to rejoice with
he social side of things and the
it hers who have their frequent re
mions have them the more fre
inc-ntly, the more that it is denied
he workers. The narrower the
nargin of wages over actual living
osts, the greater the profits for em
doyers.
All this can and will be changed,
t will he brought about by organi
ation of the workers to that end.
he workers will by such an orga
i/.ation rise to heights of social con
rol when their fiat will be sufficent
o enable them to enjoy the product
f their own labor.
In the meantime they should en
oy themselves every chance they
et. li stimulates, nerves and em
oldens for a struggle and the heart
liat never rejoices is a poor one.

The Industrial Worker published
communication from a esteemed
ibscriber on the unfortunate lack
f a recorder in Dime creek. There
ppears to be no division of opinion
t all upon the part of either the
liners of Nome or those of the
oyuk upon the necessity of such
n official. And for that reason it
extremely hard to understand the
;ason for Judge Tucker’s fajlure to
ppoint one.
As a democratic official desirous
’ realizing the Vox Dei in the Vox
opuli it is not too much to say that
was generally expected that one
ould have been appointed before
lis by the District Judge. *
One reason why it is pre-eminent
desirable that such an official
lould have been commissioned ere
ds is that he could enjoy the fees
hich are due about this time. It is
s only salary. And likely as not
s will have no other means ot ]
eeting his expenses than through
is source unless a local man, resl
int and with mining interests in
e Koyuk camp, is appointed to j
e position.
Already there have been com
aints made that some titles to
ound whereon has been discovered
y are already clouded, due more
r the reason that the ownership
was questioned and failure to have
access promptly to the records was
accountable for that.
The general complaint as to the
risk of winter travel over the trail
to Council and the high expense in
volved in such a trip are cogent
arguments enough but arguments
do not seem to be needed or to be
of any avail.
One Dime creek correspondent’
says, possibly with wisdom, that it
the newspapers did not mention
the matter it might be sooner reme
died because all such reference is
taken in the nature of critiicsm and
as such does more harm than good
in being resented.
However the newspapers have to
give this matter publicity; and the
Industrial Worker believes it is lie
cause proper publicity has not been
given it heretofore that the miners
in Dime have not obtained the re
corder they appear to be unanimous
in demanding.
