U. S. TO OPPOSE DEAL
GERMANY SEEKS TO CONTROL

Sale of MAJ Supply Factories
Periis Public Welfare.

Washington, June 10.-President
Wilson and his cabinet considered the
known fact that German interests, re-
ported backed by the German govern
ment, r negotiating for the purchase
of the great gun and munitfens-of-war
plants in this country.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
laid the matter before the cabinet. He
had information from secret service
agents of the government, who have
been following these German activities
for several weeks.
The plants for which negotiations
are on include that Of Charles M.
Schwab at Bethlehem, Pa, the Rem
ington Small Arms works at Hartford,
Conn, and the Cramp works at Phila-
delphia, which it is said Mr.. Schwab
is about to acquire; the Metallic Cart
ridge company, the Remington COM
pany and other munitions and small
arms works.
Included in the Schwab plant hold
ings are the Fore River Shipbuilding
company, Massachusetts,, and the
Union Iron works, San Francisco,
where it is reported parts Of subma-
rines are being made for English con-
tract shipments being made through
Canada.

for broken contracts.
