U. S. . Railway Labor
Board Handed Down De
cision To-day Adding
$30,000,000 to the Yearly
Pay of 80,000 Men Not
Affected by Recent Rail
way Wage Award.
MESSENGERS GET
$38.40 MORE A MONTH
All Other Employes Will
Receive Increase of
$32.64 Train Service
Employes Work on a 240
Hour a Month Basis,
While the Others Are on
a 204-Hour Basis.
- Chicago, Aug. 10.-The United States
railway labor board to-day handed
down a decision increasing wages of
employes of the American Railway Ex
press 'company $.-10,000,000 yearly.
Eighty thousand men not provided
for by the recent $000,000,000 railway
wage award are affected.
The award is retroactive to May 1.
1020. The wage increase, amounting
to lt cents an hour, will give messen
gers and other train service employes
an increase of &3S.40 a month. All
other employes will receive an increase
of ;2.64.
Train service employes work on a
240-hour a month basis, while all
other employes work on a 204-hour
basis.
Under the terms of the Asch -Cummins
transportation act, the express
company will be permitted to raise its
rates sufficiently to meet the increased
labor cost. Arguments in the rate case
already have been presented before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
To-day'a award does not go into the
question of rules and "Working' condi
tions. , As was the case last month
.when the board granted a $600,000,000
increase to railway employes, it was
announced that a decision covering new
working rules would be banded down
later.
The award to expressmen Is slightly
better than the average, increase to the.
railroad men, the board find jug that
express employes, as a class, were pot
to well paid as men in other lines of
railroad work.
For the purpose of the award the
board divided express employes in five
classes, but the increase granted was
in each case the same, sixteen cents tin
hour. Messengers and other employes
In the train service whose hours are
computed on a basis of a 2 40 -hour -month,
will receive an increase of
138.40. All other employes working on
the 204 -hour per month basis will re
ceive 932.64 more. The board directs
that pay from May 1 to Aug. 31 shall
be paid to employe separately from
their September checks in order that
they may know the exact amount of
back pay received.
Describing conditions in the express
service, the board says in its decisions:
"As in the case of the railroad em
ployes, this long delay and succession
of disappointments (referring t the
unsuccessful efforts of the men to pet
an increase last spring) coupled with
the pressure of a further rise in living
costs, produced deep and not unreason
able dissatisfaction on the part of the
express employe, as the wages paid to
the express employes were generally
less than those paid for annlugous
service by the railroads and in many
other industries.
"The express employes were thus
themselves called upon to make eacri
fires as they believed far beyond thoe
of any other class. For these reasons
and a a measure of justice, it was o
cided that this decision, when msde.
would be effective a of May 1, injo,
and that the increases herein secirtd
should be slightly in excess of t nose
decided upon for railroad employes per
forming similar service. v
Presidents of the express unions who
were present when the award was
banded down were poo -committal on
Its acceptability, but the pener.il im
pression was that the labor hoard bad
been slightly more generous thsn ei

SEARCHING OUT
FOMZTS DEBTS
NcTAction Expected Before
Hearing on Petition for
Bankruptcy
PAYMENT ON CHECKS
, ORDERED STOPPED
Ponzi Does Not Appear
Concerned Over Turn
of Events
Boston, Aug. 10. Clerks at the
School street office of Charles Ponzi,
whose claims that he made millions in
forVign exchange operations are dis
puted by state and federal officials,
found' little to demand their attention
when the office was opened at the usual
hour to-day.
Ponzi had predicted that the action
of the state bank commissioner, Jos
eph' C. Allen, yesterday, in stopping
payment on Ilia checks would result in
another run by holders of notes of the
Securities Exchange company, but few
persons appeared. Those who called
were told that no payments would be
made and were asked to return again
on Saturday.
Just how much Pon owes on these
notes of the Securities Exchange com
pany, upon which he has been paying
60 per cent interest in 45 days, had not
been determined. An auditor em
ployed by United States Attorney Gal
lagher was still at work on the books
to-day. Ponzi was called into confer
ence with Mr. Gallagher and the audi
tor, Edwin L. Pride, yesterday, and
was said- by his attorneys to be check
ing up n the audit. The business in
hand had not been completed when
the conference broke up, and it was
said it might be resumed to-day. ,
Xo further steps are expected until
August ltf in connection with an in
voluntary bankruptcy petition filed
against Ponri yesterday. On that day
the subpoena issued by the bankruptcy
court is returnable. This action against
Pon.i was brought by three local note
holders whose claims aggregated 750.
Their petit inn alleged that Pomi had
transferred a large part of his assets
to others.
Ponr.i reiterated, after the action of
the bank commissioner was announced
that his liabilities were approximately
(t.VKl.OOO, and' that when the exact
amount was ascertained he would pro
due assets sufficient to cover them.
He declared the action of the official
unwarranted. '
Pon.i appeared to be undisturbed by
the various moves yesterday of in
vestigating officials in connection with
his Securities Exchange company.
While extra editions of the newspapers
were being circulated last night tell
ing of the bankruptcy petition, the
bank commissioner's action and the
statement issued by Attorney -General
Allen, Ponzi and his wife sat in a box
at a thaatre apparently thoroughly en
joying a first night performance. Thj
morning he showed no haste to get
into the city from his home and clerks
at his office said they had had no in
structions from him.
The offices of the Securities Ex
change company were still open at
noon but no business wss being trans
acted.
Ponzi remained at his home in Lex
ington daring the forenoon, announc
ing that he planned to "take it easy."
He hadn't decided he said, whether
he would go to Boston at all during
the day.

AN OLD DANCING MASTER.
George H. Elmore, Well Known Here
abouts, Died To-day at Montpelier.
George H. Elmore, agged 77, died at
f) o'clock this morning at Heaton hos
pital, Montpelier, following an illness
of about a year developing out of an
attack of Influenza. He wss a well
known dancing master. He was a na
tive of Elmore, in which place he re
sided until young manhood. Colonel
Samuel Elmore was a great-grandfather
of his, being the first settler in
the town, which was aamed for him.
The elder Elmore, a colonel in the Rev
olutionary war, came with his two
sons, Jesse and Martin, from Connecti
cut, the grant for the town being given
to Colonel Elmore by the governor.
Jesse Elmore's son, Heman H., wss the
father of George H. Elmore.
Mr. Elmore waa born July 18, 1S43,
and, 'following his early days in El
more, went to Morrisvills, where he
became engaged in the manufacture of
Carriage, later establishing iiimself in
the business. He continued at this un
til machinery took the place of hand
work and he gave up the carriage busi
ness. He was a finished workman in
both wood and upholstery.
He took up dancing work at Morris
ville and came to Montpelier 20 years
ago, thelTall in the Lawrence block be
ing constructed fof him at the time the
block was built. He condurted dancing
classes in both Vermont and New
Hampshire, his laet work being a chil
dren's class, children of his former
pupils, which he conducted a year ago
last winter. He was prominently con
nected with the American Association
of Ihincirg Masters and was a mem
ber of a committee of three which se
lected at earh annual meeting the dan
ces that would be approved by the
American association. Mr. Klmore was
also district supervisor of dancing un
der that organization, having the su
pervision of this section of the country.
He was, perhaps, better known nation
ally in the dancing fraternity than lo
rally. He stood only for the cleanest
and most approved dancing and al
lowed only the best of manners to pre
vail in his rlassea.
He is survived by his wife, Mina El
more, by a cousin, Mrs. William Adams
oi Cabot, a cousin, Edward Bishop of
the Chicago police force, and another
cousin. Edward Carter, living in the
west. The deceased was the lat of his
branch of the Klmore family.

the game of baseball, for the same
John Doe did then and there exercise
and play the game of baseball."
It is reported that in preparation tor
their coming fight the players' attor
neys have taken means to ascertain
the names of all the, stores, garages,
ice cream parlors, gasoline stations,
etc., as well as the various automobiles
being used for pleasure purposes Sun
day, both in Barre and Montpelier. It
is believed to be their intention to de
mand that places be closed hereafter
on Sundays, according to the law as
set forth in section 7097 of the re
vised statutes, printed yesterday in the
players' statement as to their position,
if baseball is forbidden. If this should
come to pass Barre, hereafter, will be
a close rival to Goldsmith's deserted
villsge, as far as any signs of active
lie will be able to be discerned.
Several of the stores and shops
around the city are now displaying pe
titions for Sunday ball, and each, as
far as can be ascertained, bears a con
siderable number of signatures.
The 20 men held in connection with
having violated the law are Daniel
