MILWAUKEE, June 15.—1 t has come to light, at the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, which will close here,,this afternoon, that recent nation-wide “bucket-shop” investigations and exposures were made with the close cooperation of the National Vigilance Committee of the advertising organisation and with the aid of leading newsprpers, officers of the law, and other agenci3S. H. .’. Kenner of New York City, director of the National Vigilance Committee, announced in an address here that as a natural outgrowth of these and otherMnvestigatlons of fraudulent stock deals, a better business bureau is being organized in New York City, backed oy leading business houses, and that it will devote Its entire attention, in the beginning, to the investigation of financial advertising frauds. Literally millions upon millions of dollars are taken from the people by fakers annually, he said. VIGILANCE COMMITTEE FURNISHED INFORMATION. “The vigilance committee,” Mr. Kenner said, “was in a position to render service to District Attorney Banton of New York City, in his fight on 'bucket sb.'ps.’ early In 19151. through Information developed by vigilance investigations in New York and other cities, and by placing the committee’s extensive files at his disposal. These cases were aggressively handled for the district attorney by his assistant Jerome Simmons and have had a wholesome effect in curbing activities of the bucketeers. The committee was fortunate enough to obtain Mr. Simmons as its counsel, when his bucket shop investigations were completed. “The committee’s bulletin In February on the danger to the public and to the aeronautical industry which lurked in the organization of air transportation companies by professional promoters,” he continued, “was given wide publicity by the New York Times and prominent newspapers in other parts of the country. The Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce expressed Its appreciation. “Chief among our aggressive, definite actions was that of the committee in placing facts before District Attorney Banton, dealing with the practices of a ring of directory fakers, who were said to hate swindled business mea out of

HAS PROTECTED BUSINESS MEN. “In numerous other fields, tha committee has been active,” he said. ‘lt. has materially checked the activities of various publicity schemes designed to get money fraudulently from credulous business men, matnlv retailers, in the form of coupon redemption bureaus, electric flash-sign companies, aud selfcollection letter systems. One of the worst offenders among the Hash-sign companies Is being made the object of vigorous action. ‘One problem which has engaged the attention of the committee and Us affiliated bureaus is the abuse of comparative prices in retail and other advertising, wherein an ‘S3 value’ coat Is offered at $09.59, or a pair of shoes, regularly retailed at $0 or less, is auvertised as ‘worth sß.’ While recognizing the legitimate uses of the comparative price,—truth forces are enlisting the cooperation of National retail associations and individual retail advertisers in an effort to curtail wrongful practices developed out of this use of the price appeal in advertising.” PROGRESSIVES PLATFORM FOR FALL CAMPAIGN Lower Taxes, Defeat of Ship Subsidy and Child Labor on Ticket.
