Those who have sold short on Fisher Body are frankJy alarmed. The plan is aim-pie nd the small investoris aiding the former head of General Motors to even a few old scores. ' Mr. Durant, it is said, has split the sharea f stock into fractional units, which "he has offered on partial payment to the public through the gigantic sales organisation created for tha distribution of the shares of his own manifold companies to clerks, shop girls, and thrifty workers whose savings should not be at risk in speculation." The outstanding feature of the Durant plan is that the "unit certificates" cannot be sold for two years. Which means, in brief, that such portions of the floating stock as are disposed of in this way are withdrawn from the market. With the result, also, that the balance is smaller and more easily manipulated, should any one which to do so. TELLS OF POLISH Br. R. O. Ostrowskl. writing from Waraaw, Poland, furnlahes some interesting information regarding the elections which were held in Poland this fall and which culminated in the assassination of the president recently. "On Oct6ber 29 and Noverolber 12 they had the national election to th0 Polish congress and senate," he wrltea. "The eleetion was very Qult. They use the modified French voting system. The president is elected jointly by the house and the senate. "There- are four leading parties in Roland: The National Union (or the Christian) rrty, the Farmers party, the Socialist party and the JewishGerman (or minority) party: No one parry has control of the house or senate. Jews elected sixty-five of their race to Ui new congress. Because the Jews united with the Germans there is much bad feeling againat th-im all vtr Poland. "They are going to change the voting system to one more like the American' system our American system Is the only national plan. For esam-ple. here they vote not for individuals but for the entire party. You cannot split your tickets like In America but you must vote for the full ticket, giving the number corresponding to the party. Candidates for congress can run in six or seven states Or districts at the same time. If elected in two or three districts, the candidate keep one place and the other places ate filled by his less lucky associates In politic. "I was present during" the election of the speakers of the ho-use and senate. Mr. Trarnbesynak! of Porn was elected speaker of the senate and Mr. RaUJ 61 Gelid, was elected speaker of the house. The old fresident of Poland, Mr. Pilsudzki, has the best chance to be elected president for the next ven years. The National Union party t? against him. This parly was formed by Mr. Faderewakl and would like to have him for president, but the Jewish and Socialist partita would not stand for Paderewski or artjbody else except Pilsudzki. "The American colony in Warsaw is large. We meet once a week in the American-Polish Society and the Amerlran-Polish chamber of commerce. I have met many Americans In those meetings.
