BOND FORFEITURE IS ASKED IN SUIT
Action Demands $5000 for hool Fund.
A %uit asking that a {forfeited bond of $5000 on a prisoner at large
| be turned over to the common
school fund was on file today in Marion County Superior Court. : Brought by Willie B. Sullivan, the complaint is directed at Prose. cutor Herbert M. Spencer and three bondsmen, Hyman J. Unger, Nathan Tamler and Abe Greenspan. According to the complaint,
Prosecutor Spencer originally sued the three bondsmen and received a judgment, which never was paid. Mr. Spencer said the judgment was entered against the property held
| by Greenspan in order to permit
him to search for the missing prisoner. “It was a case where we wanted the man moré than immediate payment of the bond,” Mr. Spencer said. “It is a procedure that other prosecutors have followed. There is no loss to the country, as the lien against the property acts as a safeguard.” Mr. Sullivan's suit claims Prosecutor Spencer and the three bondsmen are indebted to the common school fund for $5000. The bond was on LeRoy Haley, known as the “lazy bandit,” who still is at large.
U. A. W. CARRIES MARTIN OUSTER

Leaders of both Mr. Martin's “Progressive” faction and “Unity” faction headed by vice presidents Ed Hall and’ Wyndham Mortimer, brought the intraorganization fight to the desk of the C. I. O. chief. It was indicated that the struggle may end in a special U. A. W. con-

asked to replace Mr. Martin. * Lewis Action; Uncertain No one would predict whether Mr. Lewis woul step into the crisis. - He intervened once before and stopped
‘| Mr. Martin’s attempt to oust Mr,
Mortimer and Mr. Hall as. vice presidents at the-1837 Milwaukee U. A. W. convention. The 1937 peace was of brief duration, however. Soon after the conconvention, Mr. Martin discharged some of the union’s most prominent organizers who were his political opponents, “purged” the internatiomal headquarters staff, and made Richard T. Frankensteen “assistant president” over the head of Mr. Mortimer. The union’s constitution does not provide for an assistant president. Since the convention there have been local union elections but the significance of the results is challenged. Mr. Martin’s group captured the important Flint, Mich., local, which voted 80 per cent “unity” at the Milwaukee convention. Countering this are the “unity’ leaders’ claims that they won 100 per cent in Indiana, beat Mr. Martin's lieutenants Frankensteen and R. J. Thomas in their own locals, retained control of the important West Side Local and Briggs Local in Detroit, and made significant progress in the Lansing, Mich, local, ruled by a Martin lieutenant, Lester Washburn, Communism Denied Issues between the factions are confused. Mr. Martin contends that his opponents are helped by Communists and blames them in part for the ‘“unauthorized” sit-down strikes in General Motors plants. The ‘‘unity” group denies it is Communistic, blames company officials for “unauthorized strikes” and claims that one of the most important “wildcat” strikes at Lansing, Mich., where the union members took over the State Capitol for a day, was called by Mr. Washburn with Mr. Martin's consent.
