Agents Fitzgerald and Weiss of Boston, made their presence in the ,cty known yesterday when they wen. among the workers of the mills to as- certain the exact condition under which some. of. them work
 It is believed that they prosecuted their investigation in the homes first and are still secretly working in the city. That they have procured wit nesses for any possible action that the Immigration department may see fit to take at later day seems certain from rurnor but cannot be definitely con- hrmed today
 z Officials of the Salts mills are per- tubed today over the incident. Ed win Jowett office manager, was most irascible when approached by report CTS, denying that he had any knowledge of the incident through heresay or fact although many of his subordinates frankly admitted that men believed to be federal detectives were discovered in the factory yesterday. MT. Jowett's
 
 reporters, was most secretive and lent the impression that the affair was much more serious than had been thought.
 The specific charges made by labor leaders, including John Golden, inter national organizer of the United Tex tile Workers of America, last autumn when on Sept. 10 a meeting of the Salts strikers was called at Sad1er's hall Willard street. was that the Salts Go. had imported about 20 families from Lyons, France, to Bridgeport, up on specific contracts. At that tim Q several weavers appearAd to corrobor- ate the statements and the matter was reported to the federal authorities through Textile union.
 It will be recalled that among the directorate- of the Salts Textile mills are Ira and Fred c.
