BEARS extend
STOCK SALES


NEW YORK, March 17.-Con
FUSED price movements in early
trading today resulted from the
extension of bearish selling OF the
industrial and speciality stocks
while oil stocks and a few of the
rails and motors were being accu
mulated.
Bears concentrated again on the
stock Of the food companies and
the mercantile companies, forcing
Ward Baking B down to q new
low at 475s, while Montgomery
Ward, Sears-Roebuck. Kresge 8. 8
and WooIworth declined from 2 to
points in the first period.
Railroad stocks sold moderately
higher near the opening. An up.
ward revision OF the dividend on
Chesapeake and Ohio, in addition
to a prospective special dividend,
was looked for at the meeting Of
the directors OF the road this after
noon.
Great Northern, preferred, New
York Central and other dividend
rails were well taken at slightly
higher prices Atlantic Coast Line
made further recovery, but sea-
board Air Line displayed continued
weakness and broke to a new low
for the year.
As was expected. the increase in
crude oil prices has resulted in a
corresponding increase In drilling,
and crude oil production last week
consequently increased 14.a00 bar
rels day
Call money renewals were posted
at AZ per cent.
Selling pressure lifted at the end
OF the first. hour and rising ten
denotes were more apparent in the
motor stocks and oils. General
motors advanced about 2 points to
1914 and Hudson was up IL.

leader in the oil stocks, reaching
. new high since the last break in
the market, at 43ik. American

Legion Under Fire for Graft in Michigan

money having been subscribed for the
state originally Tor patriotic and other
public or popular purposes. But the
men who handled the money combined
the books Of two branches of work
in such a way that the secretary of
state could not find out where the
money went. And he never will find
out. He demanded an accounting. But
It was too late.
Peanut politics has finally brought
the matter before a legislative COM
mittee here. Legislative committees
of course must have something to do.
And political enemies of Sen. Gansser
and other are happy to have them
sternly cross-examined by investiga-
tors.
Make Slaves of Workers.
One Of the witness called by the
investigators was the wife of an in
valid soldier. She was one of the
legion's "benefciaries." She told of
having been given job at the Chill
dren's Billet by the professional
patriots to whom she went for aid,
Overworked there, she broke down
from exhaustion in short time and
was discharged and discredited.
Lieut.. Col. John G.. Emery, of Grand
Rapids, former national commander
Of the legion, is to be called as a wit
ness.
The legionnaire who has marched for
ward to assume responsibility" for
the failure to make report to the
secretary of state is Mark T. Mckee,
who lives mostly on Pullman cars but
who maintains a residence in Mt,
Clements, a bath city suburb Of De.
troit. He is chairman of the legion's
state welfare committee and an under
cover influence" and wire puller for
the republican party. Most of McKees
republican influence is in McKee's
imagination but he possesses enough
to become one Of the inner ring OF
the legion. His war record is unique
even for professional politician. He
spent 10 days in uniform. Mckee also
was indicted in the Sen. Newberry
slush fund investigation several years
ago.
On Memorial Day, however, Mckee
Tabor and the others will lead the
loyal legionnaires in solemn parade
for the edifcation Of the men, womer
and children of the working class.

and similar institutions. Legion
drives" and the Detroit Community
Union Fund have increased its in-
come. The administration of these
funds has been controlled by small
group of professional DICTIONARIES. OF
the amount received from the state,
onl $12, 1922 remained Jan. 1.
No Accounting Made.
Although $56,977.6S was spent in
seven months in 1919 and 1920 for "or-
ganization expenses" not a penny Of
this amount was accounted for. A
report showed that $210,611.66 were
spent in travelling expenses and salar-
les alone to administer $16,122,12 Of
actual cash relief to veterans. It has
been found that the welfare fund has
been paying five eighths Of all the
leglon's operating expenses in the
state. State Senator A. H. Gansser,
drawing pay from the legion even
while sitting in the legislature, has
since 1923 drawn $9,370.S7 of the
money contributed by people for the
relief of soldiers. A thousand dollars
Of that amount was listed in the
formal report as having been paid to
Gansser for illegal aid" But Gansser
is not lawyer.
Maj. John f. Roehl, chief investiga-
tor for the Detroit department of
health, at a good salary, was given a
I bonus of $1,000 last year for his
services as legion commander the
previous year. He was also given
1915 salary" out Of the welfare fund
in 1925.
Lyle D.. Tabor, first state adjutant
of the legion, remained on the payroll
to $4,000 he quit But few weeks
at $4,000 a year, as long as the money
given by the state held out. But when
the salary of the first adjutant was cut
afterward he appeared on the payroll
Of the welfare department at $4,000 a
year as illegal aid representative. .
And at the same time he was working
for the Forty and Eight" legion or.
ganization at $500 month. When
those salaries were abolished he work
ed on the legion endowment fund at a
salary of $4,000.

million to the state legion required
that complete administrative report

LEGION SEEKS
To STOP LID,
PROTEST MEET
Lawrence Workers to
Proceed with Plans
BY S. D. LEVINE.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

BOSTON, Mass. May 27-To kill
Sacco and Vanzetti and forbid all pro-
test against it seems to be the
American Legion's chief function in
carrying out their conceptions Of pa
triotism. The Lawrence Post No. Is
of the Legion wants to prevent the
workers of Lawrence, Massachusetts,,
from poicing their protest against the
ruling of the supreme court in the
Sacco-Vanzetti case.
Commander A. Doyle Of the Law
renee Post, petitioned Judge David A.
Lourie of the superior court, now in
session at Lawrence, to restrain the
International Labor Defense from
\ gliding the protest meeting sched-
uled for Sunday afternoon.
The judge denied the petition as
being beyond his Jurisdiction. How.
ever, Legion Commander Doyle as.
sures all that the meeting will
be stopped, by what methods he
does not state. The reason Doyle
gives for this suppression is rather
quaint, that it is "unpatriotic to pro
test on Memorial Day against a rul
ing Of the state supreme court"
Those who know the conditions Of
the workers in Lawrence state that
the main reason for opposing the
protest meeting comes from the tex
tile mill magnates, who want no sort
of agitation that might awaken the
exploited workers.
The meeting is arranged by joint
conference of eighteen labor organ
lzations of Lawrence. Albert Weis
bord, one Of the leaders Of the Pas
sale strike, is advertised among other
| speakers.

Unemployed Demonstrate in Poland

The next day the unemployed were
to hold mass meeting. The military
officials sent soldiers to the meeting
place to meet and dispense the unem-
ployed. The soldiers were met with
hail Of stones and bottles. The sol
diers fired several times at the work
ers injuring several.
Bourgeois Fear Real Probe.
After the revolt" was suppressed
Mayor Stefansy was dismissed be
cause of lack Of determination to
suppress the rebellion" A special com
mission was sent to investigate the
revolt. A resolution proposed by a
member of parliament that thoro In
vestigation Of the revolt and its causes
be made was rejected by the bourgeois
supporters in parliament.
Spontaneous demonstrations against
the government are being held in diff.
ferent parts of Poland. These demon.
STATIONS will continue. The attempt
to stabilize the zloty has failed and
the militarist adventurer that seeks to
rule Poland now will not be able to
stabilize it.
PiIsudski Postpones Struggle.
The problem of the unemployed
grows greater and greater. These
demonstrations will occur more and
more frequently. The attempt Of Pill
sudski to forestall the real revolt by
staging a coup for a dictatorship only
postpones the final struggle of the
Polish workers and peasants fol
power.
Pilsudski deliberately staged his
move at a time when the situation
was ripening for a real revolt of tht
Polish workers and peasants agains
the capitalist system in order to pro
long the existence OF the capitals
/ system.

threw them at the police and began to
unhorse them. When the police saw
they were being beaten they fed to
their barracks. A number Of the
higher police heads then came before
the demonstrators and sought to drive
them away. The unemployed dis
armed these officials, beat them up
and then let them go. The demonstra-
tors then entered the town hall,
destroyed the furniture and sought for
the officials that had called the po-
lice. The mayor was beaten and his
assistant barely escaped being thrown
out Of window.
The demonstrators then marched to
the police barracks. One guard was
disarmed and beaten. A second guard
hid behind a corner and from his
hiding place killed five workers.
Try to Release PoIitleals.
The workers then marched onto the
jail, seeking to liberate the political
prisoners there. Tho the demonstration
was a spontaneous one and not a
Communist was in the demonstration
they sought to liberate the Commun
lists from the Jail. Three companies Of
soldiers had been thrown around the
Jail. The unarmed workers were
forced to retreat.
One company Of soldiers, which was
sent out to shoot down the workers
proved unreliable" and was called
back.
Martial Law Declared.
The officials did not dare trust the
other two. Companies from outlying
districts we're called in. Martial Law
was declared. Struggles between
groups of workers and the soldiers
continued thru the night. Numerous
arrests we're made by the military.
