 VICINITY OF BOSTON
Third Big Theft Reported Today From Malden-Gunman Not
 Identified as Slayer

Boston, April 7,--Although em- ployes of the Boston News Bureau failed today to identify Hubert Crow ley as one of the bandits who killed Paymaster George A. Willis four months ago, the man was identified by several victims of recent robberies as n participant in the hold-ups It developed also that he was on parole from the state prison.
 While the police were Investigating the two holdups of yesterday in which q total of S20.000 was taken, they learned Of third in Maiden early to- day, in which highwaymen robbed Thomas Morris. q real estate dealer, of Sl,o00 while he was returning home in an automobile. They left him chloroformed and bound on the shore of a pond.
 The offer of a s5,0o0 reward for the two men who took the $20,OO0 payroll of the New England Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. from Pay master Peter A. Gaddis in the Rox- bury district was regarded as applying also 10 the men who took part in the robbery of s1.500 from George S. Beers paymaster for the American Optical Co. at Cambridge. The hold-ups occurred within half an hour of each other and the description of the robbers was almost the same in each instance.

BRITISH OUTLOOK BAD
Industrial situation On Other Side
 Most DiscouraSinS, According 10 Renorts-7OO.OO .OOO Workers Involved

London, April ' (By the Associated Press)-The industrial outlook Tn Great Britain is regarded as extremely disouieting. It is estimated that near ly 100000 workers are involved in dis putes with their employers. and that some 560,000 are already on strike. Those include the Welsh miners and the Norfolk farm workers.
 The employers of the building trades announced today a new sched- ule of wages and hours which will be- come operative on April 14. If tse men do not accept it a lockout or nearly 500,000 workers may result.
 Another source of industrial and national anxiety is in the difference, which have arisen over the railway shopmen's wages The employers propose an extensive reduction ana this Is regarded as holding the pos sibility of general railwaymen's strike throughout Great Britain.
 The dispute in the pottery trades in- wolves about 6o,o0o men.
 The industrial unrest may have an important effect upon the position Of the Bonar Law government after par liament reassembles on Monday the Daily Telegraph said today. A one point drop in the cost of living to 76 per cent above the figure for July 1914 is reported but wholesale prices have risen three-tenths of one per cent.
 The number of unemployed on March 19 was 1.264,500 or 25o,000 less than in January.
