Strife Annversary-ln Investigation Is Planned

not know Mrs. Langstatf, and request
ed a copy Of her invitation that the
heads Of the parish might investigate
the matter. A curate seconded the
statement that Trinity had taken no
sides In the European war.
Mrs. Langstatf, when seen last night
at her home. 10 Seventh Avenue,
BROOKLYN, said she had no intention OF
turning the noon service into a pro-
British rally, as some Of the attend
ants had stated She maintained tnat
she had a right to send out the an
nouncement, and as an analogous case
pointed out that if she wished TO IN
vite a friend TO a church service no
one could prevent her.
A man in close touch with TRINITY
affairs said last night that the 81;
George Society some time ago asked
If it might attend yesterdays service,
requesting no special form for the
celebration of the declaration of war.
DR.. william I. Manning, rector or
Trinity Parish, replied from the coun-
try by wire that he had no objection
to the society being present.
This man also stated that the move
was made by the organization, and not
bv the church, and that any one was
welcome at any of the noon peace ser
vices. He said, however, he was GER
tain the Daughters of the British En-
pire had not notified the officials OF
their intention to be at the meeting.
DR.. Manning could not be reached
last night to say whether any action
would be taken on the matter.

Five Big Munition Facto-
ries Agree to Demands
for Wage Increase.

Rather than risk an interruption. N

machinists and metal workers yester-
day agreed to the unions demands Tor
an eight hour working day and an IN
crease in wages. This was joyously an
rounced yesterday at the headquarters
Of the International Association OF Ma
chinists at 116 Nassau Street.
John J. Keppler, vlce-president OF the
international association, stated tnat
the demands made by his organization
had been granted by two-thirds OF the
EMPLOYERS upon whom the ultimatuins
were served. He said tha. he expected
the other third 10 fall into line in the
near future.
Give of the largest munitions man
ufacturing concerns in greater New
York. one in Northern New Jersey and
many others scattered throughout the
country have granted the eight-hour
working day and substantial increase
in wages" said MIR. Keppler last night.
"As a consequence | do not think 1t
will be necessary TO call a strike, which
might have assumed national dimen-
sions. The employers realize that the
demands Of the union are justified.
They also realize that we were PIE
pared to back up our demands by call
ing a strike and being able TO hold out
for an unlimited period"
According to union officials, there
will be no strike in the plant of the
f. W. Bliss company, largest manu-
facturers of munitions in this section
Of the country.

or not the demands as originally PIE
scnted to the Bliss company were ac-
cepted," said +. j. Deering. strike or
eanzer Of the machinists. "But | will
say that there is little likelihood of a
strike there now The men held n
meeting yesterday and were told what
the company was willing to concede.
They are satisfied that il will be in
their best interests to continue work
ing"
Keppler left the city for Plalnfeld,

Twenty-three conferences were held

without rest since Monday to avoid

and women were adamant and that
they stood to lose s5O,O00000 worth

ings of the council.

wrote the council Immediately after re-
ceiving from the manufacturers their
acceptance. "As to your request for

affirms its position as follows:

of that language have been made by

tations are not to be received as au-

of those who put them forth.
"If case of actual dispute due to
differences of Interpretation arises pc

tions specifically provide for a method
of adjustment. Finally, we wish forci-
blv to remind you that the council

The communication was signed by
DR.. Felix Adler. chairman. The other
members of the council present at the
final deliberations were Louis ID. Bran

Charles L. Bernheimer Professor
George W. Kirchwey. of Columbia Uni
versity, and Walter c. Noyes, former
Judge of the Court of Appeals.
Charles L. Heineman, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Cloak,
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Protec-
tive Association, gave out the follow
ing statement after the differences
were settled:
"The association accepted the rec
concentrations Of the council on July
28, but it coupled its acceptance with
the statement that there had been a
INSTRUMENTATION of the recommends
tions made in the Jewish press. We
pointed out the fact that, unless the
workers were made to see clearly that
these interpretations we're incorrect,
the manufacturers could not finally
agree to accept the recommendations.
"The council has row assured the
association that its recommendations
are clear upon their face, and that
all other interpretations are unwar-
ranted and unjustified. 1t has prom
ised to stand guard asairst any mis-.
representation or misinterpretation of
the document.
"Dr. Felix Adler, on behalf Of ths
council, appealed to us in the name of
the city TO accept the recommends
tions and avert strike. In this spirit
we have accepted"

The neutrality of Trinity Church re-
ceived a severe jolt yesterday For
although the parish officials insist that
President Wilson's edict asking Amer
leans TO refrain from partisanship has
been obeyed to the letter, Trlnity's
auditorium, at yesterdays noon ser
vice was filled with members OF Brit
ish societies. They were celebrating
the first anniversary Of England's en-
trance into the European war, and
many of them were present upon in
vitations unauthorized by the Trinity
heads.
1t was an unpretentious announce
ment, on plain paper, and signed by
Mrs. S. Josephine NJ. Langstaff, head
of the local chapter Of the Imperial
Order Daughters Of the British En-
pire. that started comment that Trinity
was pro-British. The Rev. J. l.. 7.
Clarke, who officiated at the service,
said at its close that an investigation
by the parish officials might be the
aftermath.
When DR.. Clarke entered All Saints
Chapel just before noon he was sur
prised by the large number of worship
pers. These midday peace services
have been held since the outbreak of
the war, and are usually attended by
one or two hundred from the down
town financial district. So large was
the crowd yesterday, however, that the
little chapel was too small, and all
were asked to step into the church
auditorium. where it was announced
that the service, designated as "a form
of supplicaton and intercession for the
restoration of the worlds peace and
for the divine guidance of all men,"
would be held.
Worshippers Were "Invited."
When the service, consisting OF a
prayer for supplication. IN which the
congregation read several responses,
and two hymns, was completed. DR..
Clarke walked to the rear of the
church, still wondering at the large
number present Here he was shown
one of the invitations which had
brought out most of the worshippers,
copies of which had also been sent 70
the press.
"On Wednesday, August A." it read,
"there will be a special service OF In
tercession and Supplication through
the British Empire on the Anniversary
/ Of the Declaration Of War
"There is to be a service at Trinity
/ Church, New York, at II o'clock. noon,
on that day, which the various British
/ societies will attend, and it is hoped
; tina: as many members of the Imperial
Order, Daughters of the British En-
pire, will be present as possible"
! Notices inviting members Of the Ca
madam Club, also couched in almost
the same language, had been sent out
When DR.. Clarke discovered the
cause for the overflow of the chapel
/ he was indignant.
~ should like to know who author-
lied these notices" he said. Trinity
/ Church did not. They have placed the
/ church in false light. This is just
I our regular noon service. and We would
not think of holding a meeting TO pray

When he was asked If the church
would allow pro-British services he re-
piled in the negative, adding that Trim
ity was neutral He declared he did

The suit involves the question n
I,alie.ty of a policy held by Mrs Nil

has been refused by the company. on
the grounds OF alleged irregularities
In connection with the evidence pro-
!duced by Mrs. Selph is an affidavit

in which il is stated that Milton L..
Selph was insured in the company for
$40, 900. payable To Mrs Ida NJ Selph,

made demand on seipia for the STIR
render of the policies, to be cancelled
by the companies The affidayit also
states that a short while later, party
