WASHINGTON, March 24. Repre
ecntatives of the American Legion,
presenting today to the house ways
and means committee a revised op
tional plan for soldier relief, charged
attempts to recruit into the I. V. W
former service men who were dis
contented because of the failure of
congress to provide aid.
J. K. Holden, adjutant of the Utah
legion, testified that organised prop
aganda to defeat government aid and
undermine the American Legion was
being disseminated by the I. V. V.
through the country. While some sol
diers had been misled into joining
that organization the rank and file,
he said, stood firm against such in
fluences. Immediate Relief Vrged.
Urging Immediate relief, J. G.
Ecrugham of Nevada, of the executive
committee of the legion, declared
there was "seething unrest among
former service men and women, who
felt they had not received a square
deal."
"They are chafing with unrest and
believe congress should take sonic
action for their relief." he said.
Holden told the committee that
while partially disabled and in hos
pitals, attractive young women gave
him I. W. W. literature, which said
the government had protected muni
tion workers, war contractors and
others from great losses, but had done
nothing for former soldiers. These
pamphlets urged ex-service men to
join the I. W. W.
"In the Utah mining camps the
I. W. W. outnumbered the former
service men six to one and are mak
ing vigorous efforts to wipe out the
legion organizations," Holden said.
Any beneficial legislation for
former service mep should include
dependents of those who died or were
killed, declared Mrs. Herman H. Bir
ney of Philadelphia, representing the
War Mothers of America.
FlrMt Duty to Dependent.
"Our first duty s-hould be to the
relatives of those who did not return
and to the wounded," she added.
Representative Gallivan. democrat,
Massachusetts, supporting the pro
posed relief plan, declared soldiers
had returned from France to find an
orgy of reckless spending, and as a
result felt they had received a "raw
deal."
"N"o adequate compensation has
been made to them." he said, "and the
only example of the government's
gratitude was the $60 tip they re
ceived when discharged."

Attorney -General Palmer today, ask
ing that the department of justice

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March 24.
During certain seasons hundreds of
Japanese fishing vessels, most or
them from San Pedro, swarm to the
Channel islands off this coast, taking
large quantities of fish. So far as
known here, no attempt is made to i
terfere with them.
LOS ANGELBS. Cal.. March 24.
Many Japanese are engaged in fish
ing in southern California waters, but
whether they are violating the fed
eral law prohibiting any Dut American-owned
vessels from plying that
purpose in American waters could not
be stated, federal and state officers
said today.
Officials of the state fish and game
commission said they believed it was
custom of fish canneries to provide
boats for Japanese fishermen, taking
mortgages on the craft, but they
could not state whether the canneries
might not retain a technical owner
ship. It was stated also that other na
tionalities were similarly provided
with boats for fishing.
BUDERICH. Rhenish Prussia, 6 P.
M.. March 24. (By the Associated
Press.) Four civilians in two motor
cars, one sent out this morning and
this afternoon, were driven swiftly
over the Rhine bridge today into be
leaguered Wesel, and it is believed
that negotiations are going on there
for a truce.
British and Belgian civil control
commission representatives also have
entered Wesel. Officially, these vis
Its are not being discussed, but evi
dently they were prearranged, as the
Rhine bridge has been absolutely
closed to traffic from the left bank of
the river.
The result of yesterday's heavy
fighting, it became known today, was
distinctly in favor of the besieged.
The workmen threw a number of
Ehells in the vicinity of the city
scoring one distinct hit almost as the
commissioners passed the spot. About
3 00 wounded here are being evacu
ated in motor ambulances to Crefeld.
Belgian Stiffen Forces.
The Belgian forces strengthened
their positions today. They planted
machine guns on the bridge, dug
trenches on the ' bridgehead and
manned the old German Rhine de
fenses. COBLENZ, March" 24. (By the As
sociated Press.) It is reported here
that Wesel has been captured by the
red army.
The Ruhr district Is quiet today.
The government troops have retired
to the northeast, back of the Lippe
river.
The government troops are being
reinforced and their supplies, includ
ing ammunition, replenished.
There are other indications of a
heavier engagement shortly with the
reds.
The German official reports, how
ever, show that the rumor of the
capture of Wesel by the reds is un
founded. Negotiations opened today
south of Wesel between the govern
ment troops and the attacking reds.
The latter demanded the surrender
of the town, but the troops opposed
this, as they expected reinforcements
There was some fighting on the Lippe,
south of Wesel, in tho morning.

The same sources indicate that the
government is starting to clean up
the soviet district of Thuringia after
the capture of Halle yesterday. The
concentration camp at Ohrdruff, Saxe
Coburg-Gotha, has been cleared of
the reds after heavy fighting. There
have been raids in the direction of
Gotha from Etifurt, and the troops
expect to take Gotha tomorrow.

IX)NDON, March 24. Not all" of the
workmen who have taken up arms
against the government in Germany
arc imbued with Spartacan ideas, ac
cording to diplomatic messages to the
foreign office today. Information
gathered by British representatives
in Germany shows many workmen
intend to fight until certain anti
monarchistic representatives are in
cluded in the new cabinet.
The Essen disturbances, which ap
parently are the most serious in the
country, are described, however, as
purely bolshevik.
The indications were, it was said,
that the peace conference is gradual
ly coming around to the British idea
that the Germans should be left to
settle their own troubles so long as
the peace treaty is not violated.
LEIPSIC. March 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Halle, the large in
dustrial town just to the northwest
of this city, was completely cut off
from communication last night. The
latest reports were that the troops
had gained the upper hand after a
considerable part of the city had been
reduced to ruins.
Troops on Way to Halle.
Saxon troops to reinforce the gov
ernment's contingents in Halle are
on the way there.
In other nearby communities the
turmoil amid which they have been
existing for more than a week, was
still .continuing today with no im
mediate prospect of its cessation.
As far as can be learned, the work
men's revolt in this section is di
rected against the military elements
and shows no bolshevik tendencies.
The single exception is the town of
Falkenstein, near Plauen, Southern
Saxony, where a soviet is said to bav
been established by communist lead
ers.
Both wings of the social democrat
are demanding the revocation of mar
tial law and the withdrawal of troops.
These are among the' workmen's prin
cipal demands.
l.rlpnlc Buildings Pitted.
In Leipsic the stone walls of the
great railway station of the Volkhaus
and of dozens of buildings are pitted
from top to bottom from macXine
gun and ritle lire, wnue nana gren
ades have left many ugly gouges.
The normal life of the city is being
resumed, but the stranger instantly
detects a feeling of excitement and
expectancy.
It is estimated that there are less
than 1000 communists in Leipsic. al
though the independent socialists are
very strong.
According to conservative estimates,
about 10,000 carried arms in Leipsio
last week and beginning with Jhe
first clash March 15, when 17 per
sons were killed and 60 wounded,
there was almost daily street fight

One Concern Has Surplus; Oilier,

Xcw York Market.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24. (Spe
cial.) Consternation, which reigned
among San Francisco housewives yes
terday when sugar leaped to 16 cents
pound, wholesale, and 184 cents a
pound retail, was replaced by joy to
day when it was learned that the
California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining
company had not raised its price and
that sugar produced by that concern
may still be purchased at tne old re
tail price of 16 14 cents a pound.
Announcement of this fact was made
by Secretary Frank Connelly of the
retail grocers' association, who said
that the existing situation was due to
a fight between the California &
Hawaiian and Western Sugar Refin
ing companies.
During the months of November,
December and January the plant of
the California & Hawaiian company
at Crockett was not in operation, but
according to Connelly raw sugar con
tinued to arrive from the Hawaiian
islands. It is from this supply that the
concern its now turning out its "14-
cent" sugar.
The Western Sugar Refining com
pany having no surplus of raw sugar,
followed the New Tork market, jump
ing first from 14 to 15 cents Saturday,
and then from 15 to 16 cents yester
day. This final jump brought the re
tail price of sugar up to 18 Va cents,'
the difference between that and 16
cents representing profits of the job
ber and retailer.
According to Connelly, not all the
jobbers are customers of the Califor
nia & Hawaiian company and conse
quently the. concerns will be unable
to sell to their own customers at the
cheaper rate. Connelly says that this
will mean that sugar will be sold at
two retail pricestthroughout the city
for some time to come and that the
concerns fortunate ewough to handle
the California-Hawaiian product will
get the benefit of increased patronage.
Enough" raw sugar is on hand to
keep the Crockett plant In operation
until April 1, Connelly said.
