the trunk placed in the room by dray-
man. He said the man disappeared Sat-
urday.
A recent repair job on the inside OF

man who described the trunk and said
he would accept it.

outside the place by man whose de-
scription tailed with that given of
Miller by the rooming house proprietor.

and fleSh-colored stockings. but had no
hat. She weighed about l40 pounds A
gold ring was on finger and bracelet
of good quality was on one arm. On the
left arm there was a wrist watch which

BLAMES COMMUNISTS.

DETROIT, March 8 LP).-J. Walter
Drake, Michigan member of the Presl-
dents organization for unemployment
relief, in statement today said:
From information l have obtained l
am convinced that yesterdays disorder
at the Ford plant was inspired by the
agitation of Communist leaders who for
weeks have been trying to arouse dis
satisfaction among unemployed In this
district.
Particularly they have been trying
to create the impression among tho
unemployed men that employers are
failing to do all that they might do in
the present situation.
Employers in the Detroit district
and in Michigan generally have CO.
operated to the fullest extent with the
general relief measures of the munich
palities and the State and they have
spent large amounts OF money in their
efforts to relieve unemployment and
distress"
Declaring his belief that many OF
the men involved in yesterdays clash
we're ''fioaters" who recently had ar
rived in Detroit Mr.. Drake added
We have established by thorough
investigation that the attitude of the
bona fide Detroit and Michigan un-
employed toward the employers Is
remarkably free from bitterness"
