PROBE OF RECENT STR|KEAT
ROOSEVELT AND CHROME, N. J.

strike at the Chrome and Roosevelt, \.
j.. plants Of the American Agricultural
Chemical Co, which resulted in the re-
cent shooting and killing of strikers, was
today inaugurated by the federal COM
mission on industrial relations. The COM
mission had before it one OF the strikers
and one Of the directors Of the company.
The striker was Anton I. Wiaert, who
testified he tried to support wife and
five children on a wage OF $3.50 a day,
and failed. Even with the additional
money his wife was able to earn he could
not pay for the bare necessities of life,
he said. So he ran into debt.
The director was A. Barton Hepburn.
He said he knew nothing about the con-
dition of the employees of the chemical
company. He first learned that strikers
had been shot when he read it in the
newspapers.

Amsterdam, via London, Feb. A.
9.33 A. M.-The Belgian position on
the User near Westende again have
been the scene Of fierce attacks by the
Germans in which the bayonet was
used by the troops on both sides of
the trenches, the Sluis correspondent
of the TELEGRAPH states. The Germans
after the usual preparatory lombard
ment by artillery. the correspondent
says, made repeated but unsuccessful
attacks on several important Belgian
trenches. The desperate nature of the

CARRANzA THREATENS TO
DEP0RT SPANISH MINISTER
UNLESS DEL Case IS GIVEN UP

a statement based on advices from
Mexico City as follows:
General Aware Obregon has issued
an order for the arrest Of Angel Del
Case. Del Case is a man who has
been intimately connected with the
Villa movement ever since its incep-
ton.
In Mexico City. on account Of his
wide acquaintanceship, he was able
to designate for Villa prominent peo-
pie who after they were arrested or
threatened with arrest, would pay ran
som or blackmail to Villa.
While he was doing this nefarious
work for Villa, he attempted to pose
as the confidential agent Of the Span
ish government.
1T is thought Del Case is now In
hiding and will endeavor to escape
trial for the many crimes he has
committed. by taking refuge behind
a plea that he is a Spanish citizen.
Del Case when apprehended will be
given a fair trial.
