On Friday evening OF last week very
successful student minstrel was given In
the Town Hall for the benefit OF the
Athletic Association. The performance
was arranged and carried out in less than
a week, and considering the shortness OF
the time. the work done by the boys was
remarkably good. 1t was n surprise even
to the students themselves to know that
they had among them so much musical
talent. While every feature OF the pro-
gramme won applause. and deserved 1t,
perhaps the topical song, Nobody" rem
dered by Frank Conner, proved the most
decided hit. The clog dancing by Lyle

defendants mad threatened to interfere
unless they acceded to the demands of the
defendants for union wages. and that the
defendants had actually so intertered on
several occasions
The averments OF the complainants were
denied specifically and in detail by the de-
fendants who claimed in their answer that
the complainant association was an unlaw-
full combination for the restriction of the
business of horseshoeing Attorneys Ham

Probing Illegal Labor System.

spector Edgar T. Davies yesterday began
an investigation of the system of employing
Greek boys, hundreds OF whom are working
in Chicago under the age limit prescribed
by law. in fruit stores. shoes shining shops
and in barber shops. Mr.. Davies has asked
United States immigration Inspector John
w. Burst to give linn information regarding
the methods of securing the services of the
boys. 1t is charged by the inspectors that
the youthful employees are worked more
hours each day than any man would sub
nit to- and that the fruit stores In which
they are kept are in many cases immoral
resorts.
