According to reports madG this morning to labor leaders, another acute situation has de- veloped at the plant of the Lo- comobile Co.,, of America, which instituted the .48 hour. week Monday, August 30, for all it's employees.
 A notice that will affect the 800 or more night workers was posted last night, according to the information received by the labor leaders. The notice in forms the night gang that they will work "untiI further no- tice" until 6 a.m., that will make the working day more than 10 hours.
 Only one man quit last night when the notice was posted. Trouble is brewing, however, the labor leaders have been in formed, but the other men have decided tq reserve action until Monday, when they will re- ceive the first pay under the new schedule.
 John A. Kingman, publicity representative of the Locomo- bile Co, investigated the re- ports at the instigation Of The Farmer, this afternoon and he denied that any reversion to the 10 hour basis is being made.
 Some of the men asked to start work at 8 o'clock, as I un- derstand it." he said, t.so they could catch a car at, 6 o'clock. No notice has been posted that II know of. There is no att tempt on the part of the com pany to return to the old sched- ule."
 The 15 per cent. bonus sys-i tenn was discontinued August 80 and this is expected to make a change in the wages of many. i
 Labor leaders were informed this morning that the bulletin read last [ night was not signed by any official and that it had been written with a red crayon pencil+
 A committee waited upon Frank J. Finnell, works manager of the Amer jean Graphophone Go. this morning with the ultimatum that a strike will 1 be called at 10 o'clock tomorrow ' unless the demands are allowed. It { is understood that no favorable reply, was received. MT. Ffnnen couldn't be located for a statement
 The threatened strike at the plant { of the Remington Arms & An1muni- ton Co.,, has been averted. It was learned. to-day that the company is { gradually making the concessions ask ed by the bayonet makers. The of. fciaIs have refused to treat with la ! bor, union officials but the latter say they understand a settlement is be- ing made.
 The first occurrence in two weeks. looking toward a settlement of the Salts Textile Co.,, strike was recorded this morning when the company is- . sued a statement, asserting that it is willing to treat with a committee Of employees, without outside suggestions. In the attempt to Justify the prices paid for labor the firm has published it's scale, comparing it with those of European textile factories.
