time at least was detailed to take
Canadian troops to England.
On Aug. II, 1914, she sailed from
Montreal with five hundred French
reservists on board. A despatch from
Montreal at that time said the steam
ship probably would be taken over by
the British admiralty after complet-

DISTURBANCES IN
BRIDGEPORT STRIKE
Girl Said to Have Been Roughly
Handled By Angry Companions

ts Bridgeport, Aug. determination
Of the women and girl strikers of the
warner Brothers Corset factory, about
1900 of whom walked out yesterday
to enforce demand for an eight
hour day, was expected to be COM
pieted today at mass meeting. Dur
ing a parade of strikers to the meet
ing place, Miss Jones, one of the
strikers, who is believed to have OBJ
Jected to the proceedings, is said to
nave been roughly handled by other
strikers and to have had her clothing
almost torn from her. No arrests were
made.
Disturbances at Plant.
When the women employed in War
ner Brothers company's factory APP
peared at the gates there were dis
turbances. Many women wished to go
In while others were insstent that
they should not. The cutters in the
plant were not among the strikers.
During the forenoon the strikers had
a. meeting in Eagles Hall when they
formulated a demand for the eight
hour day and an increase of twenty
was said that President D. H, Warner
of the company was willing to give a
ten per cent. increase in wages in ad-
dition to the fifty hour week plan
which was announced Saturday. This
apparently is not satisfactory to the
strikers. The cutters have asked for
the eight hour day and twenty per
cent increase sending a committee to
Mr.. Warner. They have not struck
as they desire to await a reply. To
them, it was reported, the concession
of fifteen per cent. increase was Of
fered but this had not been confirme ed
in the afternoon. 1t was estimated
that 1900 employees of the company
are on strike.
Il There were reports current that
girls in another large corset factory
were preparing to make a demand
for more wages and shorter hours
provided those in the Warner plant
were successful. The girls in large
laundry here also were said to be
discussing the question of a wage de-
mand.
Demands Not Presented.
81 The demands of machinists at the
American and British Mfg. Co., have
not yet presented their demands, the
business agent of the union stating
this noon that plans for doing this
are about completed. Some of the
policemen who were assigned to duty
at the gates of the Warner company
sid that the women had many lively
Jussles among themselves. One
woman was in the thick of a battle
and had much Of her clothing torn.
The officers used moral persuasion to
separate the strikers and those who
would not strike and who were
anxious to go into the factory. ff

MARKET SHAKEN
British Pound Sterling Reaches
Lowest American Value in History

New York Aug. 17-While bankers
conferred yesterday on the matter of
granting to Great Britain a loan which
which will permit the allies to con-
tinue the purchase Of war munitions
and foodstuffs in this country on a
large scale, renewed weakness de-
Veloped in the foreign exchange mar
ket and remittances on London and
the principal Continental financial CEN
tiers fell to new low records.
The temperance of J. p. Morgan
at his desk around the noon hour
after an absence of six weeks, served
as a temporary stay to the declining
quotations. 1t was at first thought
that Mr.. Morgan's presence at the
bankers conference meant that the
pending plans for a big British loan
were nearing completion, but when it
became known that no definite ar
rangement had been made exchange
bills were thrown upon the market
with renewed vigor, and the resulting
liquidation broke the market in the
case of remittances on London and
Paris to within a point from the low
levels.
The value of the British pound ster-
ling went steadily and rapidly down.
ward until it touched $464 in Ameri-
can money, against a normal value Of
$4.S665, and the lowest price in the
memory of bankers. Francs followed
suit, falling to 500 to the dollar,
whereas usually it takes about five
francs to make dollar. German and
| Italian exchange were also quoted at
big discounts. Russian roubles dis
played greater strength than on pre-
vious days on covering of short COM
mitmentS.

A Dead Mans Rusiness

0. When a man dies, does his
executor haze the right to continue
the business IN aChich this man t0as
engaged and to use the estate funds
f5r this purpoSe?
A. An answer to your question
must depend upon the facts Of the
individual case. Sometimes a tes-
+ator--a person making Will--ex-
pressly provides in his will that the
executor shall continue the business.
Sometimes an executor is empow-
cred to do SO by virtue OF decree
or an order of court. If, however,
he is not authorized to do so and
makes use OF the funds of the es-
tate in carrying on the business, it
ig incumbent upon him to account to
the benefciaries Of the estate for
profits made or for interest on tho
money SO used in case there are 70
profits.
