to fling down the gauntl2\" in the face of a giant corporation that makes :ls employes sweat blood for the pittance they 1 ceive, to fight the cause of the helpless and wea :, there\u2019s real Joy and fun in it.I enjoy it.And there's a lot of satisfaction to one's self, likewise, in getting justice done to people.I don\u2019t mean ip getting people punished for wrongdoing; l\u2019m not so much interested in that phase of things.But, for instance, to help a returned soldier get money back that has been extorted from him, as THE AXE did last week; to make An eppeal for justice and compensation for a man imprisoned through perjured testimony; to take the side of an injured woman wronged by a low scoundrel highly-placed; or to fight the battle of à newsboy suffering a cruel wrong in his private life, and to know that THE AXE is successful along these lines as well as being \u201ca terror to evil doers\u201d and that all along the way we travel the stand taken by the paper in the public interest is justified and successful, to know these things, Well, like a well known advertisement in the States says, \u201cthey satisfy\u201d.It is simply a truism that to appreciate joy we must have known pain.We \u201clearn in sorrow what we teach in song\u2019.The sunshine is the more acceptable and enjoyable because of the rain and the days of gloom.It is the long Canadian winter that makes us enjoy the beautiful summer.To be able to sympathise we must have suffered.In other words life without contrasts is empty and meaningless.So that the fun my associates and I have in running THE AXE, and the joy we share, could not possibly be appreciated half so much did we not have a little of the heartache at times.- This is no mournful spiel that I am throwing (to indulge in a little colloquialism).There are no complaints to be made by any of us connected with THE AXE.What I do feel, however, is to meet from time to time some of the things that enemies of THE AXE and of myself personally have to say about the paper and its editor.What they say need not be recounted here.It is enough to say that if THE AXE were the -kindof sheet they describe it as being I might have been committed to durance vile long ago.The fact they none of these people have been able to place their finger upon one single act which would bring me within the grip of the law or which, if exposed to the public, would effectively kil THE AXE is proof enough that they have nothing on me.If they had the proof would be easy to make, They do not move against me; the only conclusion is that they have no grounds for moving.i My associates and I are fully determined on one thing and that is that THE AXE will never have any strings tied to it.It is not now and never will it be the hireling of any interest, the tool of any party, or the creature of any patron.No one has anything to fear from \u201cTHE AXE who is doing right.But whoever is doing wrong, where that wrong is against the public welfare, or is crushing the helpless and weak, THE AXE will fight and fight to a finish.No money will buy us off; no man or group of men can intimidate THE AXE from doing its plain duty.As for \u2018money and what money brings, I reiterate what I have said before in this column, my wants are few, my ambition is to serve humanity rather than secure riches, and my purpose the good of all mankind rather than the gain of a privileged few, JOHN H.ROBERTS.- pists give Disabled Soldiers\u2019 money away.(continued from page 1) responsibilities.Ag there was no more glory or complimentary publicity being flung about, FOR MORE WATER ELIE DADO STING So they cast about for a Way|Mr.Austin Ekers, to rid themselves \"of the en- President, Montreal cumbrance.Btock Exchange.The Poppy Fund had been Dor Mr.Kkers:\u2014 that the Stock Exgiven by the citizens of Mont-|change is drilling a well, so that it real for Disabled Soldier re-|may draw water for its own pur- lief, and for no other purpose.poses, and for the use of the mem.It had been given to a board|bers during business hours.We of trustees, for such in reality BROKERS LOOKING shall be very glad if you will in- these people were, to help dis-|form the public for what purposes abled men, down on their luck.[the water from the well will be But some of the members of used.The natural conclusion, of the Advisory Board found the|course, as Stock Exchange Memthing a nuisance.So they an-|bers are not noted for their rapa-| nounced their intention ~ of [city as water-drinkers, is that ft handing the money around to|will be used to water the stocks.Over-Capitalization of Railway Companies.It has become a matter of habit with a large section of the community to eondemn labor for its every action.When anything goes wrong with the works of industry, it is labor's fault.When there is a strike, the Vested Interests turn to their Press and the Press tells the world that the working men and their paid agitators are wholly, completely and totally at fault ; that It is just one more attempted hold up.i We have a glaring example in the present Railway Strike in the United States.The strike is against wage reductions in certain crafts.It is contended that wages must come down to enable the roads to make an honest dollar.Yet a little study of the subject reveals some very interesting facts, For instance, with the exception of a very few highly skilled crafts, wages are not high enough to sustain a man, his a few societies, such as the Soldiers\u2019 Wives League, the G.W.V.A.in Verdun, The Memorial Workshops, and so on.Returned \u201cfighting\u201d men, (as distinguished from colonels Brothers and Clarence Smith) held out for proper distribution of the Fund in t Channels fer which it was in= tended, and for which the publie had put up their money.But no.It must go the societies.ASK FOR NEW BOARD.As an alternative, the fighting men suggested the appointment af a board of responsible business men (and there are still some business men who are glad to help the soldier without looking for personal glory) to see to the disposal of the Poppy Money.But no.It must go to the societies.The Great \u201cI Am\u201d has Spoken!

the last few years have revealed one curious fact, the existence of \u201cprivate wives\u201d of brokers.We have referred to this condition in previous issues and pointed out the truth that often moral decline precedes the economic downfall.Now to give point to our argument comes a story from New York of a stockbroker and the private wife he deserted.First he wronged her by making her his mistress, then he threw her over promising, however, to provide for her.When he failed to provide for her as agreed she called upon him, only to be given in custody of the police for disorderly conduct and threatening the man\u2019s life.And then Nemesis overtook the stockbroker.Here\u2019s the story, the moral of which is, \u201cthe path to bankruptcy is strewed with private wifes.\u201d Ten thousand speculators throughout the country have just lost $3,000,000 and the Stock Exchange House of E.M.Fuller and Co, New York, has gone to the wall.Ten years before the announcement, Miss Nellie Blackthen a comely young woman of nineteen, fell in love with Edward M.Fuller.For seven years they lived together, it is alleged, without the formality of a wedding.À break came.The woman appeared at Fuller\u2019s office on June 14, asserting that she was there to ask him to carry out a financial agreement.Fuller had Miss Black arrested for disorderly conduct and for theatening his life.Which commonplace police court event sent the spotlight full upon the firm of which he was the head.\u201cA WOMAN SCORNED\".\u201cThe Fuller failure is the result of my promise to Miss Black and the Fuller lawyer that I would never rest until I saw Fuller in jail,\u201d said George R.Simpson, attorney for the woman.A scorned woman\u2014g financial failure that wrecks 10,000 hopes and costs $3,000,000\u2014 the unearthing of an old in- BROKER sr te EE Federal Court.Such are the scenario trimmings of the latest romantic tragedy of Wall Street.And the strange story might have happened in Paris, Berlin, London or Montreal just as well, for in every financial centre men have come from nowhere, bucked the big game and won millions.It is proverbial that the district which thinks in millions is less particular about the personality of a newcomer than a grocery store in a suburb would be over the hiring of a new delivery boy.Hence, nobody knows much about the antecedents of Edward M.Fuller, and less about those of his partner, William F.McGee.ASSOCIATED WITH SWINDLERS.It was in 1904 that Fuller came first upon the horizon.He was then known as Henry Dexter.And not many years ago a coterie of men who wanted to live without toil operated an institution known as the \u201cWe Boys\u201d group.Its practice was to haunt hotels which held men of wealth at the bars and in the cafes and to pretend connection with New York newspapers.Various schemes were concocted to get contributions from the rich\u2014all depending solely upon the alleged and non-existing connection of the gang with New York papers.One of these schemes provided for the opening of a home for \u201cindigent newspapermen.\u201d Fuller was arrested on the charge of being connected with this gang.He escaped the association, however.LAWYER FLAYS HIM.Of such was made the house that had seven branches throughout the country, employed 150 persons in the heart of the financial district that is grouped as Wall Street in popular fancy and held a membership on the Consolidated Exchange.In all of the history of New York courts, few men have JOHN H.ROBERTS.\u201cPRIVATE WIFE\u201d BREAKS ANOTHER R.Simpson gave to Fuller when the lawyer appeared in the Tombs Court to defend Miss Black in the case wherein she stood charged with disorderly conduct.\u201cThis defendant,\u201d said the lawyer to the court, \u201cwas nineteen when Fuller first met her.She had a good reputation.Fuller, who is a low viper, lived with her for years.I have promised her never to rest until I see him behind prison bars.\u201cYesterday I unearthed an indictment against him which has been sleeping for two years.On June 24, 1920, he was indicted in the Federal Court for a fraudulent scheme by which he got $3,000,000 from investors all over the United States.BEAT HIS \u201cPRIVATE WIFE\", \u201cFuller has been a cheater all his life.I have seen a deck of marked cards used by him in games with friends, whom he robbed of thousands of dollars.\u201cHe promised this woman $5,000 and played a trick on her.She is sore in body and mind.He made her what she is and she sought to have him make only partial amends for what he has done.Miss Black lived with him in the belief that he was not married.Claiming to be his common law wife, she started suit for divorce and agreed to drop it when Fuller paid her $5,000.When it was found that his own wife, Mrs.Edith Fuller, divorced him eighteen months ago Miss Black filed suit for breach of promise.\u201cFuller beat this woman on many occasions.Once she had to go to a hospital.\u201d Such are a few of the choice bits of information that the woman's lawyer gave to the Tombs Court, and on the basis of this attack the light was turned on the Fuller firm.It was found that Fuller was one of forty-eight, including his partner, McGee, who were under Federal indictment for using the mails to defraud in the sale of oil stock.Four oil companies and ten promoting dictment against Fuller in thehad the grilling that \u2018George institutions were among the defendants.= = AN OLTIMATUN TO MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE HEADS THE AXE'S attitude to the Stock Exchange is to clean up the game; to make it sure for the public, sure from the point of view that when a man speculates on the market he is speculating, not being shortchanged by any broker who either plays with his customers\u2019 money or who plays the market against his customers\u2019 interests; to make stock-brokers stick to straight brokerage business, as compared with the bucketing and general sharp practices many of them have followed heretofore.And when the public is protected from fraud, we shall let up, not un- Everyone who has followed the market knows that there have been instances in Montreal Stock Exchange circles where brokers have not played the game according to the rules of decent business.The list of failures amongst Montreal Stock Exchange members proves it.Thornton Davidson; Tousaw, Hart and Anderson; Fairbanks-Gosselin, here are names of firms which will stink forever in the nostrils of speculators who found too late that they were not speculating at all, but merely sinking money into a bottomless well for the glory of their brokers, for a glory which never came across.A COLOSSAL BLUFF?Sonie time ago the Montreal Stock Exchange changed horses.A gentleman named Garland, who had been president, dropped out, and one named Ekers came in.The change was accompanied by a great blare of trumpets, and the public was told that great reforms were pending, reforms which would lead to absolute straight dealing with the public.Brokers were going to be held to the most rigorous inspection, and the Montreal Stock Exchange itself would stand sponsor for the honesty and square- dealing of its broker-memb- ers, But it has not come to pass.On the face of it the whole matter has the earmarks of a colossal bluff to calm the public and put the quietus on criticism.This is alright for the Stock Exchange, but it does not protect the public.The motive of the brokers, however, is not to protect the public It is to make fortunes for themselves with the public putting up the money.We want to be sure that the public is going to be protected while the broker is making his pile.At present the element of protection 1s nil.WAR TO THE FINISH.! This may be taken in the nature of an ultimatum to the president and members of the Montreal- Stock Exchange.We now serve notice.on M.Austin Ekers as president of the Stock Exchange that he has fifteen days, in which to make public the list of promised reforms, including the name of the examiner, his duties, and duties performed to date.If, by July 20th, no move has been made to give the publie this information to which it is entitled, The Axe will declare ish will only come when the public is amply protected from shark-brokers.It is up to the Stock Exchange! : C0 L.M.3.\u2018 war to the finish, and the fin- \u2018 Lhe ~% "]
