INVOLUNTARY PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY AGAINST PONZ Bank Commissioner Orders Trust Company to Pay No More of Speculator’s Checks, By the Associated Press. BOSTON, Aug. 9.-—An involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against Charles Ponzi in the Federal Court today by Charles James Fernald and Harry Farrell, who hold notes totalling $750. Bank Commissioner Joseph ©. Allen announced this afternoon that he had ordered the Hanover Trust Co. to~pay no more checks of Ponzi or his agents. The petition alleges that Ponzi is insolvent, and that about July 15 he transferred a portion of his assets to a creditor, “‘with intent to give him preferment over other creditors.” The amount transferred is set in the petition at $3000. “Although Mr. Ponzi claims that his dealings in international reply coupons have been conducted upon a very large scale, aggregating mil- lions of dollars, the investigation has , disclosed nothing to confirm his statement,” said Allen.

St. Louis Garbage on Several Occa- sions for Brief Periods Was Sent There for Reduction. The plant of the Western Ferti- liver Products Co., at Stallings, Ill., was destroyed by fire early today. This plant has been in considera- ble litigation in the lasc eight years. lt was on several occasions for brief periods used as a reduction works for St. Louis garbage, which was conveyed over the McKinley bridge. Injunctions finally stopped this use, although several changes of corpo- ‘rate management were employed to renew the business. For the last three years a Chicago company has processed leather scraps into farm fertilizer, and a small town of employes’ houses has grown up around the works. Offi- | eers of the company refused to make 'any statement concerning the orig- |! in of the fire or the loss. JOLIET PRISON PLANT BURN By the Associated Press JOLIET, Ill., Aug. 9.—Fire, which destroyed one building of the peni- building, was under con- p. m, today. The loss is es- stimated at $20,000, mostly finished stock. Penitentiary a second officials admit the fire was incendiary but are unable, to arrive at the specific cause. John 'L.

Another recommendation is fares on the waterworks will railway, which runs from Baden to the Chain | of Rocks, be increased from 8 for 25 cents to 6 for 25 cents, for adults. and from 16 for 25 cents to 12 for 25 cents, for children, with single iares of 5 and 3 cents. As to the effect of wage increases, the Commissioner says: High Wages, Poor Work. “High wages always mean ior results at increased prices. The conditions producing high wages tend at the same time to reduce the quantity of work done and to im- pair its quality. The increased de- mand for men lessens the obligat®n resting on the individual to maintain ithe excellence of his work. ,longer has to depend on his appli- ‘cation and skill to hold his job, as the increased demand for men in- sures him work. As the scarcity of ‘men forces up the prices paid to them, the effort | tity production results in the em- ployment of men of less skill and ‘experience without a proportionate ‘reduction in wages. The education of these less competent men. costs infer- terested in or dependent on the re- | sults produced by these inefficient ‘workers. There being more jobs ‘than men, the incentive for in- ‘creased proficiency is much de- ‘creased if not entirely removed, since vacancies occurring higher up must be filled, not by selection from a group of well-trained employes ‘eager for promotion, but from a class of men hardly capable of per- ‘ 'much less able to attempt tasks in- volving greater knowledge skill. | “I'nder such conditions it should not be a matter of special comment that the expense of operating and | maintaining the Water Division for ‘the fiscal year just ended has ex- eseded that of the year just preced- ‘ing it by $104,187.26.” The action of the Aldermen, in per- 'mitting a bill for an increase in reve- rue to die in committee, brings this comment: | Manufacturers Oppose Increasc. turers was to be raised than their ‘association, through their secretary, | objected to the bil! and succeeded In | it amended 40 as to leave the low rate to manufacturers wun- | changed. | ‘Notwithstanding the fact that Ceetinecd on Page 5, Column 2. at ae that ; He no, ‘an accurate version may be had.
