Just dismissed young woman who had
been imploring him to engage her. .
He was an unusually soft hearted
manager. The average one generally

Words may be futile to stem the

Here in New York, this seething
Mecca Of the Thespian, the situation is
actually tragic. There are just about
5000 actresses too many for the posi-

MANY QUARRYMEN WE'RE WELL EN-

Great Business Revival Expected mt
junction-MinOr Business Notes.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BEDFORD, Ind, June 2I.-The statement
that the strike in the stone quarries here
had delayed work on the buildings of the
Midland Portland Cement Company is in
correct. On the contrary, says George w.
Mcdaniel, vice president of the company,
the stone strike enabled the cement COM
pany to employ many high-grade workmen
who had been thrown out of employment
by the strike at the quarries, at COMPARE
lively low wages. and during the strikes
tendency the company was working force
of nearly two hundred men and paying out
in wages a sum of about $500 weekly.
The contractors for the b. G. o. S. w.
Railroad, who are putting in the switches.
also have been steadily at work, Mr.. Nc
Daniel says, employing about one hundred
men, largely quarrymen out of employ
ment. This has been great benefit 10
Bedford by putting into circulation all this
money, paid in wages by the cement COM
pany and the contractors, during the shut
down of the quarries, and has made easy
to bear a time during which the conditions
ordinarily might have been expected to be
panicky in mercantile lines.
The concrete foundations at the cement
plant are about IS per cent completed; the
machine shops are practically done, and the
steel frame for the main building, a large
amount of which is in the railroad yards
here, will be put on the grounds as soon as
the switches are finished, which will be In
about two weeks. 1t is believed the entire
plant will be completed by early fall.
