and means - for ending . the : "unofficial
strike of miners, which already, has
partially paralyzed industries through
the Central west, ideclared today that
Only President Wilson can bring relief
to the coalless Midwest. , :
- The principal discussion ; among.- the
operators here- is whether . they- will
meetthe miners representatives ln - A
general wage conference, as suggested by
John I. Lewis,- president Of the United
Mineworkers of America. . There is a
division of opinion regarding . the ad
visability of this. The Indiana operat
ors have definitely decided . against
such a plan without White House sanc
tion, it was learned today. :
- "There is nothing we can do," said
Phil H. . Penna, ; head of the Indiana
operators. "If we . meet the miners .we
lay ourselves open to the charge of
collusion. The' wage question can only
be opened with the permission of the

only one who can act. -Among the op

that something be done immediately.'

Portland Ponzis
Have Also Made
Money Dealing in
Foreign Exchange
; "Get-rich-quick" manipulations in
International exchange of Charles
Ponzi, Boston dishwasher, are said to
have had their; modest counterpart
in a considerable ' number of cases
in Portland. Bond men and postal
authorities here have for some time
known, of the dealings of, Portland
men with friends and relatives Id
Europe who' were quick enough to
see. the opportunity that lay In the
exchange situation and postal regu
lations, t - ' '
There have been instances of Port
land postof flee clerks profiting in the
deals, it is said., their opportunity ' for
taking - advantage of the, peculiar ex
change condition being exceptional.
METHOD 18 SIMPLE"
Ponzl's method, as explained, is Simple
and could easily be worked by anyone
having reliable agents in European
countries. He states that his business
is based on the purchase and sale of in
ternational reply coupons, which are is
sued at all postoffices in countries which
are members of the international postal
union. .j . . .'..- - - -
These coupons are designed as a con
venience to . people writing letters from
one country to another and asking for
a reply. It would be impossible to buy
Italian stamps, for Instance, at the
Portland postoffice. and United States
postage stamps would not be honored
on letters posted in Italy. But a Port
land man could buy a reply- coupon at
the - local postoffice - and inclose It in
his letter to Italy and his correspondent
in that country : could exchange ths
coupon for a stamp worth tflve centesimi,
which would carry a reply back to the
United States. ;
BIG PROFITS MADE
The present rate of exchange on ItaL
ian money, makes it possible for one to
go to a Portland bank and buy a draft
on an Italian bank for 100 lire at a cost
of $5.60,. though the par value of 100 lire
is $19.30. i If the 100 lire draft were sent
to Italy and invested there in 400 reply
coupons, payable In the United States,
and the coupons were sent back to this
country, they could be exchanged here
for 400 6-cent postage stamps, the total
value of which would be $20.
- If the . European agent lived , In Aus
tria, the profits would be still greater.
because the kronen of that country have
been selling at around eo cents per loo
In the United States, and a draft for
that amount - would buy 400 coupons.
which could be exchanged for $20 worth
of stamew at a -postof flee in J-hls country,
HA& TO 'SJElt STAJIF ' ?
' Poni says that he has kept large sums
moving from One European country to
another and from Europe to this country
in reply, coupons, and that it is with the
profits from these transactions -that he
has "been able to pay 0 per cent Interest
on money placed.-with him for Invest
Bient. ' - W '. ' ' '
There is but one serious difficulty in
handling the operation In - the United
States In a large way, and .that would be
In . disposing - of the coupons or the
stamps for which they are transferable.
Mail order houses and merchants doing
a large mall business would offer a con
siderable market for stamps, but It is
obvious that the sale of several million
dollars worth of 5-cent stamps would be
no small task, and postal regulations
forbid the payment Of cash for the cou-

XCHANGE IS
SOLE BASIS OF
HUGE FORTUNE
Ponzi, Bostonian, Reputed io Have
M ade M itlions Out of- Hole in
Foreign Exchange - System,
Claims Chance. Still; Here.
HAS PONZI DONE IT?
"The keenest wits in the world are
engaged in international finance and
the highest salaries paid in the bank
ing houses are to exchsnge. experts.
It Is not within the range of human
probability that an Italian emigrant,
arriving in this country several years
ago and confessedly having nothing"
several months ago, has discovered a
hole in international postal arrange
ments by which he could pull out,
virtually from government treasur
ies, millions of dollars a month."
Clarence W. Barton , of the Boston
News Bureau.
Boston, July 30. Thirty iftvillion
dollars can be made out of the holes
in the international postal exchange
system between now and next Octo
ber, according to Charles Ponzi, the
Boston Italian dishwasher, who has
handled several million dollars in the
last few months and consistently re
turned investors a. return of 5 6 per
cent in 60 days or less.
Not only can the $30,000,000 be gained,
but it will be, says Ponzi, and through
"bis efforts. His agreement with the
legal . authorities - in Boston.; will pre
vent him from accepting any more
money there before they have said "go
ahead, but that is not going to stop
the man, who seems to possess a very
profitable secret. He is going to open
offices elsewhere and take money -just
as fast as it comes to him. He will
operate - Just aa fast - as - he can, too,
for in-October all will be over.:
The international ' postal conference
will take place " in. October, and Ponzi
has something of a hunch that the con
ditions' : which make ,the profits easy
and sure will vanish. .
- He was pressed today to reveal the
secret of his -plans, but':' would not.
None of his agents, here seems ' to be
familiar with it,' and he believes the
United States government. Will have a
difficult time finding out Just how he
manages to-deliver the goods.-v
