AGAINST FAKER
Fvery Generalien Ii«l Get Slang
Once, He Says—Wage Earners Do
For Heavy Trimming.
Habson Park. Mass.. Nov 25—Roger
W. Rabaon is much exercised over the
londoner developing toward floating
of unsound securities Such a time
seems to come around about once a
generation that Is to say. each gen
; ;
■ oration learns only by experience and
1 has to get stuck once. The last time
I that these fake promoters hart a har
vest was along 1906 and 1906. Then
came the panic In 1907 ami the de
pression In 1908 which cleaned house.
Mr. Rabson believes that we are now
entering a period especially favorable
for fake promoters. His official state
ment Is as follows:
"The unscrupulous promoter does
not usually prey upon the rich or
even the well-to-do. The experleiicod
Investor knows the difference between
Investments, speculations, and fake
promotions. He now and then hups
bonds which are forced through a
reorganization; he often loses, as well
as makes on speculations; but he sel
dom gets taken In by take promotions.
The people who lose money through
such promotions are ministers, doc
tors, school teachers, and clerks. Up
to the present time vtry few artisans
and wags workers have been caught
In the promoter's net Now, however,
that machinists, electricians, plaster
ers, brick layers and carpenters are
getting such good wages it Is prob
able that they also will be cangkt
this time. That is to say. the nets
which are now being spread will not
only get ministers, doctors and school
teachers, but also a large number ~of
wage worker*. Moreover, as this la
