how the large companies handled this
intricate businss, and also how the
smaller companies had been brought
up to equal efficiency through practi-
cal business methods, which, contrary
to the general impression, did not cost
much to install, but which paid large
ly, as stated, in efficiency and savings.
Inasmuch as the new telephone law
directs the state railroad commission
to follow the lines of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in promulgat-
ing forms for reporting and bookeep'
ing, the board will shortly send out
forms for reporting and will require
every telephone organization, big and
little. which serves more than one
person, to make report to the commits.

charged will also be sent out, so that

made and adjustments made where
such are found necessary.

 On the motion of Alderman Whit ney, MT. Nolan was given a vote of thanks. Alderman Cole asked MT. fNolen if he thought John street should be extended and made an 80 foot street or a so foot street. Mir. NoIen would not express an opinion on the matter or on the proposed extension Of Cannon street until he had made an tnvestig gatfon. He said the widening of these streets ought to be determined by whether or not the earning power of the property would be increased to compensate for the land damages

TELL GATORS THEY ARE ''HAM" ACTORS; HAVE TO PROVE IT
Three Young Men Give Up Good Jobs for Stage
 Walk to Bridgeport.

Francis Hamilton. Gerard Kerney and Christopher Murray. IT year old youths. all of South Boston, were ar rested last night for trespassing on railroad property, and forced to give a vaudeville perfornance for the benefit Of railroad employees to prove that they were actors out of work. Later they were sent to police head quarters that they might not freeze to death and this morning they told a pathetic story of their tri7buIations.
 They were discharged by Judge Wilder in the city court and upon be- ing refused transportation back to Boston, left footsore and weary on their journey to Boston.
 According to their story in court today they were found to have latent histrionic talent by one Jack Ger ard, an actor who came to the '.HubA' from New York. With another young man and four girls, who are believed to be still wandering homeIessly about the streets of New York, they were induced to join an act entitled the Mine Crazy Kids -'So crazy were we,'- said Murray today that we all gave up good jobs in Boston to begin theatrical careers. We are now ham actors
 They rehearsed for a. week in Con- gress hall, South Boston, after which Gerard told the troupe that ne would get Independent booking in New York. The company procured transportation to that city and they were quartered on Sixth avenue near 18th street, Yesterday the manager skipped out. owing all the company three days pay. There was nothing to do but hit the trail for home said Kerney, and we three left the others. and walked to New Rochelle. From that city to Stamford they rode on a. mo- tor-truck. At Fairfield they were told the most direct road to Bridge

 corresponding increase in unennpioy-

 work in some branches of industry than can find employment, but this is far from being the case with the men, On the contrary. the leading indus tries of the country are seriously eun- barrassed by the scarcity of skilled Workmen. This is true of the coal and iron trade, ship building and certain. branches of the chemical industry. A pronounced scarcity of workmen is reported from the great industrial
 district about Essen. The demand for coal is greater than the mines can
 meet, although export has been pro- hibited. Last month conditions in the iron trade were reflected by7Ea an ad- vance in prices The production of pig last year, would be still larger if the necessary labor could be obtained.
 Many branches of machinery making an important department of industrial activity, are working full time or over Ifime; but here also a. scarcity of work men is felt.
