Schools at root of unemployment says Filene
A. Lincoln Filene of Boston told a San Francisco conference that public schools cause unemployment by ignoring future employment in their plans. He noted his firm employs 2000 to 2500 people and urged vocational education expansion before the Labor Department conference at the Panama Pacific Exposition. The session cited four unemployment causes: high tension and long hours, poor work, limited purchasing power, and labor saving machinery.

Boston & Maine Denies Joint Operations With New Haven
The Boston and Maine replies to the Commonwealth suit deny joint operation with the New Haven and Old Colony railroads. It says the two systems are now distinct and independent, with no shared managerial or financial ties. The filing asserts the contract linking the Commonwealth pier lease and switching charges was negotiated by C S Mellen and others and would bind the Commonwealth, not benefit the B and M.
