GOVERNMENT HARD
ON ITS WITNESSES
KEEPS THEM WAITING DAYS IN
COLD CORRIDORS AT RATE
OF $3.50 PER. .....,..

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The horde Of
witnesses who have been In New
York for more than a month in the
federal governments prosecution of
the officers and others connected with
the Collins Wireless Telephone COM
pany, charged with misuse of the
mails, began today to complain bit
terly OF the treatment to which they
are subjected.
They were brought here from re-
mote parts Of the country by sum-
mons Of the federal court, and are
compelled not only to neglect their
business affairs at home. but also to
subsist upon the scant $3.50 a day
which they receive as witnesses. They
must remain within call of the gov
eminent prosecutor all through the
long hours of the trial every day. and
are not permitted in the room In which
the trial Is being held until called
to testify.
As the government has provided no
room or other quarters for the COM
fort and accommodation Of its wait
ing witnesses, the men are compelled
to remain for hours every day in the
cold corridors of the federal build
ing each awaiting his turn to be
called to the witness chair.
The situation is rendered all the
harder for them when they realize
that they can hope for no relief until
discharged as witnesses. because no
provision beyond the fee of $3.50
day has been provided by law.

Indeed. the bakers determination to

OF young society women who called on
him yesterday and solicited him to
purchase Red Cross seals. Instead Of
ordering small supply. based on the
probable number Of his Christmas

some intricate calculations regarding
the number OF delicacies which would
come from his ovens for the holidays.
