BUYERS Strike
WARMING IS
GIVEN
Jesse Livermore Sees Peril IN
Undigested Securities Over
hanging Market.

NEW YORK, April 20.-Jesse
Livermore, the ''boy speculator,"
who has now grown up to be one
of the most prominent of the big
Wall Street spectators, issued q
warning today against public buy
ing OF the millions OF. dollars Of un.
digested securities now overhanging
the market.
"I do not mean to say" said
Livermore, that all new securities
have no merit and viii not prove
to be good Investments when the
time comes, as 1t will, when the
holders Of these new securities wish
TO change them for more stable in
yestnents. they will find great diff.
ficulty in finding ready market
for them.
Market Too Marrow.
cit is not a healthy situation to
have SO much OF the pubiic's money
tied up in ,untried securities where
the market prices Of these new
securities are controlled by one or
two individuals, whereas, there may
be d market today, tomorrow there
may not be market.
'One has only to look back few
years to see what happened to the
prices OF certain securities like
Columbia Graphophone, Willys-Over-
land, General Motors and Bethlehem
Steel, after they had been forced
to- their extreme high prices, and
then stock dividends we're declared
in order that the insiders might
find a ready market to cash in
their profits. During the last year
this same method has been in
vogue in a large number Of listed
securities and the public probably
will find that the future will show
& repetition in most cases similar
to what happened before"
Warns Of Buyers Strike.
Fearing the prospect and the con-
sequences of another buyers strike,
Livermore says:
''The price of most merchandise
has already reached a price level
where you can begin to hear
rumors from the public against
present prevailing prices and unless
a check is Immediately brought
about to these advancing prices you
are apt to hear of the public going
on another buyers strike, such as
occurred three years ago. No one
wants that to happen again and 1t
won't be necessary If the people
who are in control Of making prices
will use their influence to stop
further advances"

WORKERS
MAY BUY OWN
FLEET
Members Can Raise $780,
900 for Ships, Declares
N. Y. Manager.

NEW YORK, April 2O.--If the
dream of the Marine Workers
Union for a fleet Of ITO ships
owned by its members is realized
the workers themselves will prob.
ably pay in the money to start it
in business, Timothy B. Healey,
business manager of local union
Marine Engineers Benevolent AS
ISOLATION, said today
Wealthy men have offered to
back the scheme" he asserted.
But if the Government accepts
our offer of $500, 900 for three ships
to start us in business. I prefer
to have, our members put up the
capital.
IF 5000 union workers are In
duced to put up $500 each, 1t will
give up $2,500,O am sure we
can raise it in a. few hours. We
have $4,000 members, 5000 in New
York. With that sum we can
start an extensive program.
1T takes nerve to start the
thing. / suppose we will have to
buck heavy opposition, but / don't
see why we can't do 1t.
Marine engineers run boats any,
way. Why shouldn't we run them
for ourselves rather than for some
organization hiring us? We are
ready to grab some Of the best
business, keeping New York as
home port.

Political Gesture of No Sig

adequate distribution Of any Of
these three constitutes public
menace, wherein the Government
must act. according to officials.
In the Wilson administration,
Attorney General Palmer used the
Injunction method against the coal
operators and miners; last summer
Attorney General Daugherty used
the Injunction again against the
striking railway shopn1en in the
transportation crisis; and now the
Government has taken the third
step by again bringing the iI1junc-
ton into play In the sugar situa-
ton, thus completing the cycle OF
action affecting food, fuel, and
transportation.
Government officials are conf
dent of success in the action begun
at New York. They admittedly
base their confidence TO consider
able extent upon the decision Of
the United States Supreme Court
in holding constitutional the act
regulating the trading in grain
futures, passed by the Sixty-sey-
enth Congress.
If the Government Is within its
rights in regulating trading in grain
futures, then 1t Is also within. its
right in regulating. II not prohibit
ing altogether. trading In sugar
futures, according to the theory
under which the Governments legal
experts are proceeding. IN this con-
nection the step toward absolute
elimination Of the sugar exchange
is the most daring over taken by
the Government.
The sugar exchange, the Govern
ment sets forth in its bill Of COM
plant, serves no useful or legiti-
mate purpose" and thus could be
abolished without Inconvenience TO
the public or to growers.
That the members OF the ex-
change viii fight back with every
weapon at their command in order
to save their businesses Is con-
ceded by the spokesmen for the
Government here. Ultimately, It is
expected, the case win go to the
United States Supreme Court, as
WIS the case with the act relating
to grain exchanges
Meanwhile, President Harding re-
ceived the Tariff Commission to-
day to discuss it's official finding
that the present tariff law has had
no effect in promoting the present
high prices.

SIS RENTAL A YEAR
TOO MUCH, He ASSERTS

BALTIMORE, April 20.-George
B. John, of Union Bridge thinks
SIS a year is too much to pay the
Pennsylvania Railroad system for
the privilege of stringing a teIe-
phone line across its right of way.
So he filed a protest with the
public service commission, and the
commission has asked the railroad
to prepare to defend the rental.
But the commission iSn't quite sure
it can really do anything about it,
so it is likely to go to the Attor-

NOW ACCUSING CLARKE
Ku Kiux Klan official Says That Former Officer Has Been Trying to Break Up Organization.

Washington, Dec zs.-E. Y. Clarka formerly high in the councils of the Ku kiux Klan, has been attempting for months to destroy the order, ac. cording to a statement issued by Mill ton Elrod, director of it's department of publications and education, after the publication of Mir. Clarke's de- mand for reform within the organiza- ton or its dissolution.
 Mir. Clarke's charge, in a letter to President Coolidge, that an element Of the klan was diyerting it from the purposes and ideals of its founders and his announcement that he intend- ed to call upon the better element to take steps to remedy the existing evils or disband the organization, brought from Mir. Elrod a declaration that the membership had grown from less than one hundred thousand members after seven years of Clarke regime to a total membership of millions under the present administration. This ex- pansion, he said, was evidence of the sincerity of purpose and the knowl- edge Of klansmen themselves of the true ideals and high purposes of the order, and he referred the klansmen Of the nation to Ecclesiastes 7-2i, which reads: Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy servant curse thee.
