As a lawyer it would not be ethical for mo to predict what I think the outcome will be- Thaw's lawyers considered, early to- day, the yelled threat by Thompson to ''squeaf' as to the Matteawan delivery and 1t was understood that the ThaW family stood ready to give the chauf- feur every support in his fight against the immigration authorities who ar rested him on a charge of aiding Thaw-a lunattc-to cross the border
 Thompson clings to the assertion that he is a British subject even while he acknowledge his identity. Thomp- son says that his father was a police man in Toronto.
 Thaw's jeilers, today, refused to be worried by rl!mors Of a possible ''res- cue" Some anxiety was shown, how ever, by the higher authorities aad Sir Lomsr Gcuin, premier of the prov ince, has asked Sheriff Aylmer to give his opinion as to whether the ordin- ary staff at the prison was protection enough against a raid" The sheriff telegrapned the premier that he had no fears on this score, although he thought hat an armed guard would be useful to escort the prisoner 10 court.
 The sheriff pointed out that the dis play of unusual precautions against rescue might only serve to suggest such an attempt to the prisoner or his friends or even to irresponsible persons in search of adventure or eager to get some of the Thaw money which has been prominent in Canadian accounts Of the case.
 Harry K. Thaw will have Sunday service held in his cell, says George M. McLish, who is here representing the personal interests of the Thaw fam iIy and looking after the comfort of the prisoner.

However, to have a minister visit him in his cell and conduct some sort of services appropriate to the conditions. MT. Thaw is a church member and has always been. His denomination is Presbyterian and l will accordingly try to have a Pres hyterian minister visit him.

Union Men Say Working Conditions In Factory Are
 Eminently Satisfactory

That there is no evidence at the present time of labor difficulties at the plant of the American GraphO- phone Go. was today made plain by the shop committee of the almrerna- tionaI Association of American Ma chinists who. through their chairuqa h. issued the following statement:
 ''The GraphophOne CO is one of the grandest factories we have in the state of Connecticut today As far as we have been able to learn there is absolutely no dissentton between employees and department heads, and there has been no unwarranted dis charge of employees. It is true that about ten machinists were laid oit and probably 60 other laborers, but this is due to the shutting down of departments which have sufficient stock ahead.
 "As far as the union and enployes are concerned the company has al- ways used us well and conditions arc the best. We have no com plaiut whatsoever as to wages, as our de- nands of some months ago were at once accorded when the justice was made plain. If every other factory in Bridgeport and Connecticut would follow the lead of the GraphoDhonc Co. there would be no cause for Ia - bor com plaint or strike ManageT Wood is the fairest man we could wish to work under and square in his dealings with the men and the re-. is friction between the men and ths. managers would tend to cast undue discredit upon them which the union. in fairn esS to those who have made onditions agreeable, must deny

Especial to The Farmer )

Washington, Aug. 23-A story Is be- ing circulated here that the Salts Tex tile Company, will remove it's plant from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Ger many.

 Inquiry at the office of the Salts Textile Company, this afternoon, de- veloped a prompt denial A represen- tative of the company said: I've do not contemplate removing our AIneri- can plant to Germany and never have contemplated doing so.''
