MILLS REMAIN CLOSED.
No Cause Sos Disorder in the Paterson
Strike.

Paterson, N. j., April 25-The oper.
ators of silk dyehouses made no gen.
erdal attempt to resume during the
morning and no disorder occurred in
any of the strike districts. Many of
the striking helpers appeared in the
vicinity of the shops. which they quit
ted to enforce their demand for high
er pay, but they made no demOnstra
ton Of any kind. The largest crowd
gathered about the hall at Riverside
used by the strikers, where a meeting
had been called for 10 o'clock. They
stood about discussing the situation
and were orderly. The police reserves
assembled at o'clock and were placed
In positions to be quickly available for
any service that might be required.
Reports given out at police headquar-
ters were that the strikers were en-
trely orderly and that no further
trouble was anticipated.
The employers have not yet clearly
indicated their policy toward the strike
and strikers. 1t was expected that they
would meet during the day for further
discussion and also that they would
discuss the demand With shop commit
tees representing strikers.
At the works of the Widemann Silk
Dyeng and Finishing company it was
stated that 40 men were at work and
that some of them had come in and re
sumed their places despite threats that
they would be killed if they did so
Strikers were watching the plant and
there was some fear that the day
might see another clash there. The
police have been cautioned to exercise
the greatest care and 10 use their re
yolyers only when a grave danger OF
personal injury or to protect Others
from serious attack.
The strikers made an effort to in
duce the employees Of Jordan & Sons
velvet dyeing plant. LITTLE Falls.to join
with them The strikefs threatened tc
return later in the day and force the
suspension Of the plant. The firm ap
pealed TO the sheriff for protection
The plant is small one.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY lNvESrlHAr.

SHIP COMBINE.
AFFECTS SUBSIDIZED LINES
Important Legal Questions involved in
the Deal From the Point Of View Of
the British overnment-Position Of
the Admiralty Said to Be Causinu
Delay In Closing the Agreement
With Certain Lines.

London. April 25-In the house of
commons the secretary of the admir-.
atty. Hugh o. Arnold-Forster, replying
10 question. said the admiralty was
considering the whole matter of ship
subsidies. with the view OF defining the
rights Of the admiralty in the event Of
contingencies arising, such as the sug-
cested shipping combine When the
present form Of agreement was settled
upon no trade combinations under for
eiFn control were contemplated but
the admiralty had appointed a commit
tee TO consider and report on the pur-
pose and form OF future subsidy agree
mcnts. The admiralty. in the mean
while. had made arrangements with
the White Star line which preclude the
possibility Of any Of their armed cruis-
crs or merchant steamers being trans
ferred 10 foreign flag without the
consent of the admiralty during the
unexpired portion of the admiralty
agreements Important legal points
were involved. including the questions
whether in the event Of war. there was
anything TO prevent these companies
from substituting a foreign for the
British flag at short notice and wheth-
or the admiralty has the means OF en-
forcing lis right OF preemption or hire
in such case. All such points would be
carefully considered and the admiral
tvs rights would be ascertained.
Replying TO question III the house
OF commons as 10 whether the board
of trade had received information that
several steamship lines had been sold
10 an American company with its pril-
cipal place of business in the United
States and whether the vessels 50 sold
would retain the British flag the pres
ident of the board of trade. Gerald Bal
four. said he had no information that
the sale had been accomplished. Ii
the vessels had been sold they would
pass 10 another flag
II Is said that the present uncertain
position of the Cunard and other
steamship companies in standing out
from the Atlantic combine is 10 some
extent due TO the action of the admir-
atty. as outlined by M. Arnold-Forstar
in the house of commons.
