CHEAP FOREIGN ACTORS.
Louis Adrich, Harley Merry and Lewis NJ
Sanger, committee representing the Actors
Order of Friendship, appeared before the Ford
immigration committee yesterday and asked
that the contract labor law be so amended az
to inclue professional actors and musicians
among the classes prohibited from entering the
United States under a labor contract At
present the law specially exempts actors and
musicians from its provisions. Under this ex-
emption the committee said that large num-
bers Of foreigner actors were annually brought
to this country for the sole reason that they
would work cheaper than American actors.
The money obtained was not spent here, but
was taken back to the countries whence they
came when their engagement was at an end.
They did not, the committee said, object to
the presence of stars like Irving, Coquelin,
Patti and others, but to the host Of minor act
ors they brought with them, and to the cheap
grade Of foreign actors whom American man.
ayers imported solely because Of their cheap
ness.

Investigating Trusts.
THE FUTURE COURSE OF THE coMMTTTKR ON
MANUFACTURES TO BE DECIDED AFTER TIE
HOLIDAYS.
A meeting Of the House committee on man.
ufactures was called for this morning to con-
slider what further steps should be taken
in regard to the investigation Of trusts,
but no quorum was secured. During the last
session the committee made an extensive in
quiry into the Standard Oil, sugar, whisky, and
cotton-bagging trusts. The testimony in the
Standard Oil and sugar trusts was reported back
to the House with q statement giving an expo
sition of the plan upon which these trusts were
formed, but without any Recommendation
for congressional action. The same
course, it is probable, win be pursued
in regard to the whisky and cotton-bagging
trusts: The committee has not yet decided
whether to continue the Investigations or not
and nothing will be decided upon until after
the holidays at the earliest.
CUMULATIVE TESTIMONY.
There il general feeling among the men,
bers Of the committee that any additional
testimony which might be taken would be
merely cumulative. What has been learned Of
the various trusts shows that they have all
been formed upon the same basis, and that the
Standard Oil concern may be taken a. gen.
eral type for trust. The sugar trust, it has
