Firemen's Action Pleases.

The announcement that tho firemen
of the city would not even consider
a sympathetic strike to support the
police removed factor that had
given the authorities much concern.
Word as to the outcome of the strike
vote of the telephone operators, taken
yesterday, was awaited today, how
ever, with considerable interest. Mem
bers of the operators union asserted
that there was a strong sentiment in
favor of a walkout, but no actual figures
were expected to be available before
Sunday.
The Boston Web Pressmen's Union,
whose members are employed on 10
cal newspapers, balloted today on the
question of participating in general
strike, orders for the vote having
been issued at meeting last night
Writer'S Union is to meet today, but
no announcement was made as to the
business to be taken up.
A strike vote also was taken today
by the Typographical Union.
The action of Police Commissioner
Curtis in changing the department
rules so that officers found guilty of
violating the regulations might be
suspended for period not exceeding
thirty days was a subject of comment
today. Mr.. Curtis made no statement
as to the reasons for the amendment
to the rules. but in some quarters it
was looked upon as giving an op-
portunity for the reinstatement of
some of the striking patrolmen.
The rule, it was pointed out, would
not affect the nineteen union men
whose discharge precipitated the
walkout, but might be applied in the
case of men who had served the de-
partment faithfully for years.
Guy Oyster. secretary of President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, who was sent
here Monday. remained for further
conferences today. He expressed the
opinion that conditions here had not
yet reached the general strike stage and

Boston Organizer of A. F. L.
Says Nine-Tenths Have
Voted Support.

BY lne Associated Press.
BOSTON. September 17.-Although
nine-tenths of the unions affiliated
with the Boston Central Labor Union
have voted to support the police "to
the limit" in their strike for union
recognition, according to a statement
made at meeting of the Police Union
last night by Frank H. Mccarthy,
local organizer of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, union leaders as
serted today that this did not indi-
cate any immediate general strike.
1t was the general feeling among
labor men that there would be no
definite change in the situation until
after the meeting >of the Central La
Dor Union next Sunday, at which re-
ports of the strike votes taken dur
ing the week will be received from
the local unions.

he wrapped the line around his waist.
Only one thing could happen, for the
seal was as strong as several boys OF
that age, and he drew the young fellow
crosswise OF the hole, which at that
season was only four inches or so in
diameter and held him there a prisoner

realism Is unheard Of in the theatre.
We have a fellow under contract to
