Washington. April l2.-Admisston by
Germany that her submarines recently
attacked three merchant ships carrying
American citizens and that one of them
torpcdoed a vessel IN the vicinity of the
point where the channel steamer Sussex
was damaged by an explosion has
simplined the task Of the state depart
ment in preparing for the next step of
the United states in the issue over sub
marine warfare
Following the receipt in cabled press
dispatches of the latest German note, II
became known that the United states
would continue to compile information
indicating that German submarines are
operating in violation of the rules OF
international law, and that very soon a
communication, designed to be the final
word of the American government on
the subject, would go forward to Berlin
The state department virtually has
completed the collection of facts relat-
ing to all attacks on merchant ships
since the Lustania. Further evidence
in the case of the Sussex forwarded by
the American embassies at London and
Paris Is to arrive on the liner st. Paul

and Slavs. They made de-
mand for an increase of about three cents
an hour or % cents a day and also that
their lunch time at nine O'Clock he free.
The demands We're refused but the men
gave no notice of quitting. They have
been receiving about IS to 90 cents an hour
and their workday has been nine hours.
As far as is known, the men belong TO
no organization but have simply got the
impression that workers are in big de-
mand elsewhere at larger pay than they
have been getting and they are all united
in their demands.
AS n result of the strike. there are m
blocks of slate for the slate makers and
they are consequently idle. Teamsters
and others also have nothing to do.
It is understood here that the workers
in the South Poultney quarries Will so OUT
