Fraudulent Stocks
Infest MiddleWest

New IOrk, Dec. IN Ia. L, w Hitlp
The industrial middlewest, Mich
igan, Ohio and Indiana, Is probably
the heaviest loser In the country by
the operations of the fraudulent
stock promoter, according to pa
tionwide survey now being undertake
Ell by the National Vigilance Com
mittee Of the Associated AdVeftisihB
Clubs of the World.
The survey Is based upon the an
swers 10 a QUESTIONABLE sent out 10
40 Better Business Bureaus ana
nearly 500 Chambers of Commerce In
every state in the country. 1t reveal
ed that the per capita stock loss
throughout the country Is about 50.
and that the group of individuals
who pay the highest toll are mine
and factory workers, chiefly Of for
eign birth. :,
Next TO Michigan. Ohio and lndi-
ana. the Industrial east-Pennsyl-
yania. New York, Massachusetts,
and, to. less extent, New Jersey
IL the heaviest loser in tho country.
The old south and the agricultural
middlewest Of Iowa, the Dakptas,
Kansas and Nebraska are relatively
immune from fraudulent stock pro-
motion. And so also, but to q less
extent, is the Rocky, Mountain region.
Along the Pacific coast particularly,
the south ern part, and IN Texas, OK
lahoma and Arkansas, the losses
again are heavier.
The highest per capita loss of any
town or group OF towns. $40, was 'e-
ported by seven adjoining towns IN
Pennsylvania. The combined pOpu-
lation Of all of these towns Is about
10000. Two cities of 10000 popula
ton, one in Michigan and one, in
Ohio. each reported a loss Of $1,000
900, or $25 per capita.
1t Is significant fact, however,

80 percent of this number believed
