Platers and Metal Workers union, was
in the city to confer with President j.
B. Sargent Of Sargent & Co, with ref
erence to the reinstatement of 15O Ital-
fans who have been sout of work since
the strike at that factory. Up to a
late hour last night Mr. Quite had not
seen Mr. Sargent, but the latter, in re-
sponse to a query, said that the firm
was doing all in its power for the men,
but that they were unable to put men
to work when there was nothing for
them to do. While the strike was in
progress a number of men were hired
and they are still at work. 1t Is I'M
possible for the firm to discharge these
men and give their places to former
strikers.

factor in the local coal situation. This

SURPRISED AT CRITICISM
Navy Departments View of That Visit
to the Kearsarge.

TO the heafSarge.
Washington, Sept 3.--The officials of
the navy deartment are surprised at
the amount of criticism which has been
aroused by the visit of the Duchess OF
Marlborough, Assistant Secretary OF
War Sanger and a party to Rear Ad-
miral Higginson aboard his flagship,
the Kearsarge. 1t is not the under
standing among the officials here that
Admiral Higginson invited the party to
come aboard, although they see no rea-
son why he should not have extended
an invitation, as the visit was made
during the period of preparation and
not during the time when the attack
ing movement of the fleet had begun.
There has not been, and is not apt to
be, any inquiry from the navy depart>
ment of Admiral Higginson concerning
the matter.

Hartford, Sept S--George M. Bar
tholomew, employed by the Hartford

craft in plucky manner. Last night,
after they got home, neither Mr. Bar
tho1omew or Miss Waters seemed any
the worse for the experience.
