BULLETIN

NEW YORK - Engdahl in
night court yesterday denounced
the plan to railroad the arrested
demonstrators before 1.-The courts
which should be trying the gang
ster Mayor of New York" The
Judge, enraged, refused to hear
the case, and refused to let him
out on bail.
Garry on the struggle for
work or Bread" shouted Engdahl,
as he was being led out by police,
and the workers who thronged the
court rose and cheered. The Judge
picked out four of them for ar
rest.
Chu Chen, a small Chinese
worker was convicted of disor-
derby conduct for hitting a cop six
feet tall. He is held without bail,
for sentence Saturday, and will
BE investigated" in the mean
time, with a view toward deporta-
ton.
Two workers, both badly
beaten, were convicted of dis
orderly conduct, and are held for
sentencing Monday. Their names
are not known.
NEW YORK.-Beaten to the point
of death, Sam Nessin is reported to
be dying in the Psycopathic Ward
of the Bellevue Hospital. A reporter
of the Daily Worker was refused
permission to see him. Mr.. Hess,
night superintendent, tried to stall
along. He would not tell the real
state of Nessin's condition. He said,
"If his condition gets any more SER
ious, we will let his relatives know"
From the severity of the beatings
given Nessin, he must be near death.
He is held prisoner, with his head
and body mashed in. Cops stand
over his bed, like they did over the
bed of Steve Katovis just before he
died.
The murderous beating of Nessin
was ordered by the despicable May
or Walker. If Nessin dies, his death
must be charged to the Tammany
city officials, and particu-
larly Walker who gave the signal
for the assault.
Nessin was taken down to the
basement of the City Hall, and
screams were heard from there.
Later, when the patrol wagon drove
up, Gordon of cops kept everyone
away so that those put in could not
be seen. Nessin was not among the
prisoners.
The New York Post, the New
York Telegram, and other capitalist
press reporters saw Nessin stamped
on by detectives and cops. They
saw him last in the hands of a
bunch of uniformed sluggers. No
further reports of Nessin's where
abouts are given.

There are completely serious men
who declare in all sincerity that the
honest cop doesn't exist. We don't
quite agree. After all, where there
are so many thousands of cops an
honest man or two cannot help but
creep in. But it is true, neverthe-
less, that an honest cop is soon dis
covered by his superiors and trans
ferred to departments where his
honesty won't raise the morale of
the rest of the force.
The general rule is that cops
like judges-seek appointment for
the graft that can be obtained, and
they play the game for all that it is
worth. AS for police guarding the
public against criminals, that is a
fairy tale of ancient vintage. The
truth is that if the police force were
abolished, most crime would disap-

RAILROAD GROUP HELD
IN GOOD POSITION
Loss in Traffic Earnings Being
Partly Made Up by Greater
Efficiency.

Commenting on the outlook for rail-
road securities, the United Business
Service of Boston says that tranlc
volume will probably not reach levels
comparing favorably with last year
until sometime in the final half.
However, the trend over the past
year has been, and still is, for that mat
ter, toward greater efficiency of opera
ton. Expenses are steadily being cut,
although it has appeared at times that
arrangements had about reached the
limit in this respect. Declining COM
mobility prices have been in their IA
vor.
Therefore, while per share results
are not likely to come UP to those re-
ported year previous until next Fall,
the outlook is not so dismal as shrink
ing revenues might, at first glance,
suggest.
prom a speculative viewpoint, the
rail stocks are not so popular as In
dustrials, and we see nothing In the
present situation that is likely to
arouse much speculative interest In
q strictly investment sense, however,
the rails outrank the industrialS, and
in periods Of extreme money ease, such
as the present, they often give q bet
ter account of themselves marketwiSe
According to the Dow-Jones averages,
rails are currently selling at the same
level as year ago, while the industrials,
in spite of the more spectacular re.
covery since last November, are still
about 80 points under the average price
at this time last year.
With continued easy credit condi-
tons indicated, there is good reason
to expect further gains in the rail
group"

STOCKS co HIGHER
IN BROAD ADVANCE
Market Moves Up BriSkIy as
All Saturday Trading
Records Fall.
BY STANLEY w. PRENosIL,


NEW YORK, March 29.-Nearly all
Of the recognized industrial and rail-
road leaders moved into new high
ground for the year on the New York
Stock Exchange today in one of the
most impressive bullish demonstrations
Of the year
All Saturday trading records for 1880
were broken with turnover of 2,791, =
100 shares, which contrasts with the
Final quotations showed only moderate
recesSions from the days highs, al
though a number of soft spots were
scattered throughout the list. Ex-
IRENE gains ran from to points.
The volume Of trading practically
overwhelmed the trading facilities of
the Exchange, the ticker running more
than an hour behind the market at
the close.
While many observers regarded the
rally as forerunner OF q general re-
covery in business, little evidence has
yet appeared Of any broad business re-
Nval. Freight car loadings, automo-
bile sales and steel production are all
running below the corresponding period
of last year, although building opera
lions are beginning to show gains, and
the decline in steel production, which
had been under way since the middle
OF February, appears TO nave been
checked. Considerable stress was laid
by many observers on the fact that
the railroad averages followed the in
dustrials and public utilities into new
high ground, some theorists holding to
the view that this usually forecast q
general advance in prices.
American Telephone, U. s. Steel
common, General Motors, General
Electric, Radio Corporation common,
Allied Chemical, Union Carbide, Atchi-
son, Pennsylvania, Union Pacific, New
Haven, Baltimore & Ohio, Wabash and
the Chicago Great Western issues were
among the hundred or so stocks to
sell at new high levels for the year.
Vanadium steel closed nearly points
lower at 109 on the publication of q
report that its new Virginia plant
would not be on an earning basis until
the Fall Of the year. Studebaker sag
ged to another new low level for the
year. Declines Of point or two were
registered in many others, including
Electric Power and Light, Consolidated
Gas, Hudson Motors, Public Service of
New Jersey and Johns Manville.
