count Of a change Of priests. The former

bolted and a large crowd collected, who
refused to let him enter. Many threats
of bodily injury were made IL he insisted.

exrRAvAcAMT WAGE FARMERS.
Labor Troubles Said to Be Largely Due to
Living Beyond income

Concord. n. H., April 29.-The biennial
report of the state bureau Of labor has
just been made public. 1t devotes a
long chapter to the shoe industry, and
shows that there are GA establishments
in New Hampshire engaged in the man
uiacture Of shoes, paying for wages
$2,46991S annually. giving employment to
S069 people. The cost of material used
is Sc, ,749,322; annual product. $11, 1856, ,008.
an increase during the decade of 7.S1
per cent; In number of establishments
of employees, 45.04 per cent; in amount in
paid wages, 1927 per cent; in material
used, 29.44 per cent, and in value of prod
uct, 29.67 per cent.
The report says in regard to wage
earners in this industry: OF 1915 who
responded to inquiries from the bureau,
"a reported an increase in wages, and
IT'S reported reduction in wages. and
75o (or APP per cent of the total num-
ber) reported having saved a portion Of
wages earned, and 1856 report no saving
whatsoever. By this showing it Is
shown that So per cent OF all reporting to
the bureau acknowledge living so eX
travagantly as to expend all their wages,
end some of them pleaded guilty to liv-
ing beyond their full income from all
sources; in short, the report Of the liv-
ing expenses Of shoe workers received
by the commissioner of labor indicates
that perhaps much OF the feeling Of un-
rest and consequent dissatisfaction, which
leads to strikes and other labor troubles,
may be due to living beyond incomes.

SIMON STERNE GAINS HIS POINT
THE OFFICERS OF THE METROPOLITAN TEl'E-
PHONE COMPANY MUST APPEAR FOR
EXAMINATION.

Simon Sterne won a preliminary victory yester-
day IN the fight which he is making against the
Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph Company
More than two years ago. when the company
raised .ts prices Mr.. Sterne brought suit TO enjon
Il from removing his phone and TO compel It to
continue its regular service at $50 a year. He OBJ
satned temporary injunction. and also an order
for The examination of the president the secretary
and the treasurer OF the company before the trial
This order was afterward vacated, and Mr.. Sterne
appealed TO the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court. This tribunal yesterday reversed the last
order, thus leaving the order for the examination
Of tina officers in effect.
Mr.. Sterne maintains that the company is com.
mon carrier Of oral and written messages, that 1t
uses the public highways. anS that 1t Is In essence
81 monopoly. He also says that under the law re-
latng common carriers it is not entitled to make
all II oonservably could. but only 10 exact reason
able" charges.
The Court holds that 1t is essential to the de-
termination of what reasonable charges are 10 un-
derstand the business of the company. Justice
Parker who writes the opinion of the Court also
remarks that IL Is not clear that these officers
dent Charles F. Cutler lives in Morristown. n. j.,
and the treasurer, William r. Driver, lives in Bos-
ton,
In view Of these facts the Court decides that II
would be quite proper for order to issue requir
ing the officers TO appear before referee with the
books OF the company and testify regarding the
profits Of the business.
