[\ g - $5.000 before it's capacity had been doubled, and that the cost of main- tenance of the present plant was about $9,000. It was said that the second comfort station just completed ¢ at Hartford wags expected to bo self- maintaining. Doubt was cast on the ability of such a building in this city to bring n much revenue, and the suggestion as made that: the estimates submit- 4#ed sheuld take little account of money received from privileges grant- « ed such as a tobacco or shoe-shining stand. Pay boxes in the toilets were admitted to be likely to bring in gome revenue. ¥ General Facts. . Whils the discussion was fairly general, details of other places of the sort were gone into. It was found that in all probability three men and two women will have to be employed, the number depending upon the Jength of time the plice is open daily. The small amount of heat that will be required will probably come from ‘City Hall which will be capable of rnishing it/ after the needed en- larged boller is put in place. The City hall commission may charge the cost of the heat used to the comfort “station. Hartford has two such buildings, ‘Springfield has one, Greenfield one, "Worcester one, Wateroury one, Stam- ford ome, and Bridgeport one. Some { these are familiar to members of ho committee. Mr, Williams said that he would reports concerning ‘comfort ‘! stations already in operation to mem- bers of the committees. He stated also that practically all large cities had such buildings, or were contem- plating building them. . Other ts, It was stated by members of the committee that, as the comfort sta- tion might readily be made into a shelter for persons using the trolleys, the Connecticut company should pay & portion of the cost. It was the ex- pressed belief, however, of mermbers of the committee and the mayor that /the company could not pay this ob- ~Jigation it it would, and that it had fBeen the policy of the company not {to even 1 it could. i / Chairman Corbin will be absent from the city a portion of next week, and he said he would stop at Provi- dence and inspect the comfort sta- tion there. Secretary Horwitz will take members of the committee, Ol- son, Schaefer and, if possible, Un- kelbach and the mayor to inspect the buildings at Springfield, Worcester d Greenfleld, next Wednesday. feanwhile the city engineer's office will obtain more recent data on ex- jpense of maintenance: and reveue trom Hartford and othdr places. The mayor remarked that the city was fortunate in having an architect on the committee, relieving it from ex- pense in connection with plans. ¥ #he meeting adjourned at 9:30, the ipiembers expressing the uhderstand- 7ing that no definite conclusions had been reeached, but that the general discussion had formed a foundation for the more thorough study of the tter. fo ¥ BASEBALL IN PLAINVILLE.

New York, Aug. 13.—Appointment of a receiver in equity for the U. 8. Mail Steamship Co., was asked today by Federal Judge Martin T. Manton by Delancy Nicoll, attorney for offi. cers and stockholders. Mr. Nicoll, however, asked that the appointment be delayed until repre- sentatives of the Shipping Board and other interested parties could ba heard. COAL TRADE IMPROVING. ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—British trade in export coal is recovering rapidly, Commercial Attache Alfred P. Dennis at London reported today to the com- merce department. Present coal pro- duction was practically on the same basis as a year ago, before the coal mining labor crisis, reports he trans- mitted indicated. QUANTITIES OF EXPLOSIVES. ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—The depart- ment of agriculture has 12,500,000 pounds .of .salvaged .‘‘comparatively safe”” war explosives to give to farm- ers for land clearing. Farmers are ad- vised ‘‘to treat it with respect, for the records are fllled with stories of men who forgot this precaution in handling dynamite and other dangerous things.'’ NEW bralALN DAlLI SEEK EQUITABLE CUTS AT FACTORY Stanley Works Systematizes Re- duction of Wages The report spreading about the city that another 20 per cent cut would effect factory and office work- ers at the Stanley Works was denied today by Walter Hart, an oificial of the concérn. Mr. Hart stated that it was true there will be a reduction but the company has not set any scale nor has it put a percentage mark on the amount of reduction. The Stanley Works, as Mr. Hart reported, is trying to get back to a normal scale where the working man will receive a legitimate wage for what he does. In other words, it is rddurning to pre-war days when the real worker got paid for his produc- tion and the loafer fell by the way- side. The company does not propose to change the scale of its help who have but a few hours of work a week. That means that the people who are working long hours will;be ffected in proportion to the amount they get over the man who is not s0 fortunate. Thus a man who has over' 40 or 50 huors will be reduced n a small measure while a man who has perhaps 28 to 30 hours will re- main as he is. The man with small hours for working finds it hard, enough to get by now, in the opin- ion of Mr. Hart, and. the company will try to aid him. The reason the workers with lang hours will be reduced is because they are recelving high wages at the present time and the markets have lropped and dropped, back almost to the time of 1913. The office force was recently given 2 wage cut on a sliding reduction rate of from 10 to 20 per cent. That still stands and it is not proposed to make any further reductions. The young 'women, who were receiving large salaries during the war, have had several cuts until their wages are back to the old time scale. As Mr. Hart explained the matter this morning, the company officials are in a quandary as to' the best methods of procedure to raduce wages to their present scale of busi- ness production without at the same time pinching the working man. It it in reality a big problem of read- justment and the officers are work- ng bhard to make the readjustment satisfactory as well as a legitimate basis for present day business. New reductions in foreman and factory ray 'becomes effective Monday. U. 8. INCLUDED. Belgium Likewisc a Member of Inter- national Famine Relicf Board. Parie.

MAY BE PHANTOM SHIP Federal Agents Not Quite Positive About *‘Floating Bar”’ Boston, Aug. 13.—Federal officials here disagreed today as to whether the British Arethusa, reported near New Bedford with a liquor cargo, was real or only a phantom ship.

Luf- kin after a fruitless search for the ves- sel durinig the past 48 hours by a rev- enue cutter announced that he was con- vinced that the ‘‘whole propaganda from beginning to end was at least 90 per cent fiction and imagination.”” On the other hand Harold B.
