IS MORAN BOYCOTTED.
Waterbury Han Who is Driven From
 Post to Pillar.

John B. Moran the we'll known tenor singer, has been having a pretty hard time of it for the past twelve months or more. He was employed about one year ago at the New England Watch factory and around the time of the set clement of the trolley strike he lost his position in the factory. He expected that it would only be d short time be- fore he would secure another position and at first took his discharge with pa tience The jobs that he wished to se- cure and some of which he was prom lsed always seemed to slip away from him at the last moment. What the rea- son was he could not tell. Finally after searching through the factories of this city and failing to find any thing to do, although men were being hired to do his kind of work day in and day out, he managed to land position in the Waltham watch factory in Mas sahcusetts. It looked for time as though he had at last secured a per- manent position, but again was he turned adrift, and -le returned to Wa terbury. He then secured a position as solo singer with moving picture concern, but this position was only temporary. After looking all over the city and state to find work to do and always willing to do it, he. was always told that there was nothing doing. Sometimes it happened that he was told to call again and when this call was made it was only to be told the old story of nothing doing. Of course he has his ideas of why he could not secure work, but he dare not' eS- press them. Now, however, he has or will have on Monday evening a perma- nent position which will all depend on himself. He will be night manager of the Welcome cafe on Bank street. and yet he says he would not be surprised to see some of the influences which ne believes kept him out of other posi- tions try to oust him from this one.
