GERMAN LABOR QUITS.

American employers who have be«
me accustomed to criticising'their
mkmen for slackness and incm.
ducy may find consolation in consid-
“3 Germany. The German work-
m, formally as docile and industri-
ous as any in the world, has “laid
dawn." Before the war he worked
an hours a day. During the war he
worked longer. Now he works nomi.
“11y eight hours a day. and according
to statements of certain large em.
players, actually puts in about six
Ill-f8.

One employer in Berlin says he is
gutting less work out of 2,000 men
than he used to get out of, 1,400
though wages are quadrupled. More
than that he is no longer the boss of
his own plant." He is not allowed to
discharge anyone, and has to employ
additional men on a moment's notice
when he is ordered to. A shop council
runs the plant. He mentions as a
typical instance of what he is 119
against. that the whole 2.000 em-
ployee stopped work the other after-
noon for two hours to listen to some
speeches from their labor leaders. lie
did not even protests—he knew it
would be useless.

The American crorespondent who
tells about it witnessed a similar in-
cident himself at one or the big Ber.
in hotels. The 50 employees—who do
the work that less than 400 used to do
—all quit their posts one afternoon
recently for two hours and served
themselves tea in the largest room in
the hotel. During those two hours
nd a guest was served, not a bell an-
swered; the hotel simply stopped tune.
timing.

This is said to indicate the condi.
firm pretty much all over Germany. It
is far worse than conditions have ever
teen in the United States. American
labor in the last few months has been
improving in steadiness and effective-
ness, while German labor is deteriorat-
'11:. German reconstruction, after a
hopefm start, is lagging, while Ameri~
am reconstruction is getting its stride.

THE "BEAN BALL,"

The death of Ray Chapman, the star
Cleveland shortstop. one of the most
athnired and beloved American ball
players, has naturally ’started a de-
:md for the abolition of the "bean
hall.” This. it may be explained for
The uninitiated. is a ball thrown fit or
near the batsman's "bean." whether
mtaltionally 0r unintentionally. Us-
ually the term implies intent. The
arouse oi" the pitcher is to drive the

make;him nervous. .

It, may be taken for granted, sit”
league players are sportsmen, that no
pitcher means to hit the batsman on
the head. Every ball player knows
how deadly a swift ball may be. it
the pitcher does aim directly at the
opposing player's head, he assumes
the latter will be able to 'duck" or
"side-step" the ball. But over and

l

the ball accurately, as Chapman failed
and then there may be a tragedy.
Several deaths are reported from this
cause, and many bad injuries.

No blame is attached to the pitcher
in the present case, but the warnln
ls too plain to be disregarded. Lexis-
lation on the subject, suggested by
‘necessary. Baseball organizations can
surely deal with the problem them,
selves, on the basis of sportsmanship,
and that is the best way.

THE NEW HAVEN‘S CHANGE

l FROM DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
l General Manager C. L. Bardo of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
(Railroad Company has written an offl-
1cial communication to the boards of
selectmen of the various towns of Con
nect'cut and Rhode island, as fol-
lru=2 '

"it is my understanding that the so ;

called ‘Daylight Saving Plan' in your
town expires October 24. As you
know, it is necessary for us to change
our time table to meet the require.

ments of the majority working under ~

the ‘Daylight Saving Plan, and as all
but a few cities in Connecticut having
Daylight Saving time, as well l"’..le
State of Massachusetts and New York
City, have made the expiring date of
.October 31, our timetable is according-
ly being revised to take effect on that
date.

“Feeling that possibly this change of
time if made on that date, will, for the
intervening period between October 24
and October 31. seriously inconvcn,
lence the people of your town, the mat-
ter is brought to your attention in the
event you fed] it advisable to suggest
or arrange for the extension of the op.
eration of the plan to October 31.”

LESS THAN HALF
FOR INVESTORS IN
PONZI’S SCHEME

(Continued from l'lnt page)

 

.Danlel H. Coakley, counsel for Ponxi.l
surrendered to the receivers, to as-i
sist in meeting creditors' claims,i
lchecks for $25,000 each, which had
been given to him and to Daniel V.
Mclsaac. associate counsel, as re-
taining fees. He said that when he'.
took the money he thought Ponzi was!
a millionaire, but that now .he wanted
everything to go to the creditors. He;
called upon the receivers and their
gcounsel to Join with him in working
without fee, but his challenge was
not accepted. '

I

 

Up to yesterday Ponzi'e high mark
in promises of interest was supposed
to have been fifty per cent. in 45 days,
but in the course of Miss Meli‘s exam-
.ination Mr. Dodge produced the stubs

i

 

‘0! five notes issued at the Papal of. '

flce, which called for payment of 100;
{per cent. Two of the notes were for;
I$1,000 each, representing' investments
{of $500 each by- Mary McNary and,
.W. S. McNary, Jr. Miss Mell said she:
knew of no other notes calling for;
'100 per cent.. and thought those ex-
hibited must have been due to errors.
The hearings were postponed in-
,deflnitely, to allow Ponzi to go over!
his papers for further information of '
his assets. and to enable the receivers
.to collect those he has disclosed.
Edward A, Thurston, one of the

receivers. remarked: "it you thought ' a.

this man had a million dollars left. do,
you suppoee anybody thinks you
would have got only $25,000?” l
“You are a liar when you suggest
anything like that." exclaimed Mai
Coakley, jumping to his feet.

The lie was repeated three times
without retort by the receiver except
‘a “thank you."

Then the examination turned again
to‘ inquiry or Ponzi as to what had be-
come of supposed gilt edged securities
valued at $2,300,000 which he Wu re-
ported to have shown Mr. Coakley. it
was all represented. he said. in the
assets he had named. except that a
.certiflcate of deposit for 31.500.000
,had suffered depreciation to $1.058.-
.000 when he overdrew another ac-
‘count.

Ponzl told of loans of 920.000 each to
.Henry Chtnielinski. president. and
“’illiam S. McNarry. treasurer of the
Hanover Trust Company, which was
'Ponzi's principal depositary and
rwhlch went to the wall with his col.
lapse. His announcement that he
loaned $10,000 to Daniel P. Desmond.
.treasurer of the Lawrence Trust Com ,
pany. of Lawrence. was followed byl
Desmond's resignation later in the,
day. . ‘

Ponzi said he had made loans 01’
.several hundred dollars to the chiefi
'0! police of Sharon and to John A.‘
filthy, lieutenant or police 0! Somer-
ville.
