terday morning, as was also a woman
who was with him. Later in the day
he was sentenced by Judge Ladd to not
less than five nor more than six months
in state prison and the woman, Evelyn
Drival of st. Adams, was sent down
for not less than four nor more than
five months on a charge of open and
gross lewdness. Both pleaded guilty.
1t appears that Hennessey came to
this city in February and has worked
at various occupations. On picking up
a paper a few days ago, he read an an
nOuncement concerning the drive and
thought il would be easy to get money
by soliciting for it. He worked in the
vicinity of North Willard and LoOmis
streets and made a trip on Greene
street. His total proceeds were about
50 and Of this amount s. was check.

PRODUCTION DECREASED
AS HOURS SHORTENED
French Ministry of Commerce So Re
port After Making Study of
French Workers.

Paris, April l0.--Arguments that es-
tablishment of the eight hour day
would result in at least as large out
puts as the 10 or l2-hour day, have
been proven fallacious, so far as France
is concerned, by an investigation con
Quoted by the ministry of commerce.
Those who have made study of the
French worker, and know his inherent
antipathy to being converted into a
machine for automatic action, are not
surprised by the conclusion that pro-
duction is decreased in exact proper
ton to the reduction in hours of la
Dor.
In the merchant marine it has been
found necessary to increase the per-
sonnet so per cent; the wood working
industry, in which the working hours
were reduced 20 per cent, has lost 40
per cent of its output, and makers OF
bicycles and similar machines have
found their production cut down at
least 30 l-3 per cent. Textile indus
tries centering about Roubsix report
that manufacturers have. fallen off 20
per cent under the eight-hour system
and that enough operators to handle
the work cannot be found, Other in.
dustries show similar figures.
The results OF the investigation,
while disputed by labor organizations.
are accepted by the ministry as OIL
eial.

Gently the government, instead OF as
