A strike in the laundry departm ent
of the Warner Bros. Co, yesterday
afternoon, which threatened to as
sumo great proportions by spreading
throughout the factories, was quickly
settled today.
Forty-five of the girls in the 1aun-
dry department quit work yesterday
because of a complaint that injus-
tice had been done to one of the union
members. At a conference this noon
between @DeVer H. Warner and Mrs.
Mary ScuIIy, general organizer of
women for the American Federation
of Labor, the trouble was adjusted.
The girls returned to their jobs this
afternoon.
Trouble with F'orewoman Mary
Williams caused the difficulty. A
young woman working on a bundle of
work for which four cents and a
quarter is paid-the lowest laundry
rate in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a
returned bundle. She did the re-
pair work, the union committee
claimed, and it was returned a sec
ond time. She refused to do the
third operation.
Eight girls on the same class of
work testified that they had seen her
do the repair work, and do it in the
standard manner They received no
encouragement from the forewomaYa.
they said. Then they went to John
Field, superintendent of the factory.
According TO the girls, he told them
that the forewoman was their boss
and they must abide by her decis-
ions.
The agreement that the girls made,

their Jobs. At 5:15 O'clock they were
handed two weeks pay, ene for the
week held back when they went to
work, and they quit the factory.
No attempt was made to return
this morning. A call was sent for
Mrs. Scully, who organized the corset
workers union. At noon she went
with the girls committee to see Presi-
dent Warner, of the plant.
Mrs Scuily said this afternoon that
Mr.. Warner expressed a desire to hear
the. complaint and to settle it as
quickly as possible. He said it was
his desire that the agreement be lived
up to- A In a few minutes the girl who
had the grievance was re-instated. It
was arranged that she repair the work
again and the company would pay
half the cost And all the girls were
told to come into work at 1 o'clock.
Supt Field was summoned to Mrt
Warmers Office and instructed con-

Documentary evidence that involves
a German well known to Bridgeport
ers in the German propaganda
throughout America was published to-
day in the New York World.
DR.. Karl o. Bert1Ing, who icame to
this city more than a year ago and
tectured before a capacity house at
the Plaza theatre. is seriously con-
cerned in the expose. DR.. Bertline
made a speech in the German Ian
guage and in fiery tones he severely
criticised President Wilson and
America. Many of the prominent.
German-Americans of the city were
present.
1t was shortly after Germany had
violated the neutrality of Belgium
Feeling in this counary ran high. DR..
Bertl1ng is represented as having been
then, an agent of Count Won Bernstorff
to promote ypro-German sympathy
through lectures. DR.. BertIing denied
at the time in an interview that he
was engaged in propaganda work.
Bert1ing made the acquaintance
here of many prominent persons He
was a virtle and fiery speaker. He was
easily disting nguish ed by a, large scar on
his face, which he said. was a mark
of honor acquired in a students duel
in a German school.
On Aug. 5, the day after the Kaiser's
troops invaded Belgium, the German
Government sent DR.. Karl Oskar Bert
ling to the United States to organize
South America and China, to conduct
American universities and churches,
and to further the German cause in
every way among the American peo-
pie. DR.. Rertling, who is a sta1wart

to help guard the bridge.
Keen interest was taken in the sue
aceSsful working of the censorship inn
posed by General Funston after it
was decided to catch and punish Villa.
General Funston today voiced his
satisfaction that after the public fully
understood the situation there had
been no expressions over the failure
of the expedition to make an earlier
start. It was generally felt in army
circles that in consuming only a week
in preparing for the search for Villa
and at the same time protect the bor-
der, the southern department had
done fast work. There was a short
age Of rolling stock in many sections;
there was no large force available at
any particular point; supplies had to
be- transported and mounts for the
cavalry had to be added.

MORMON COLONY SAFE

Ell Paso, March 16.-Vi11a, since the
pursuit Of the American army started,
apparently has passed beyond the
American Mormon colony at Casas
Grandes. Reliable dispatches today
indicated that the 500 Americans there
are safe, These dispatches gave credit
to Carranza forces about Casas
Grandes for putting up a front which
stopped Villa from making his propos-
ed raid on the Americans.
Today's information strongly in
dicated that the bandit leader, with
his supply of swift norses, is again on
the move Information concerning
his movements was closely guarded.
Casas Grandes is about 100 miles
due south of the point where the col
umn of General Pershing entered Mex

for anywhere near such a period.
The longest time recalled by any
court attendants here is that of the
jury in the case of the State VS.. Le-
roy Butler, who was tried three tine
for the murder of his mother in Stam-
ford. In the last trial here March 2,
1905, the jury was out for nine hours,
acquitting.
Analogy Of the Haines case was
found today in that of Edward Schier-
man of Danbury, tried in that city
for the murder of his wife, Novem Der
IL, 1908. In this case cots had been
provided for the jury in the court
room but they returned a verdict at
a o'clock in the morning, before they
had retired for the night.
In many instances the Schierman
case presents similarity to that of ia
son Haines. He had shot his wife
down in the streets of Danbury, using
a revolver for the purpose. After
arrest he was defended by Judge Carl
Foster of Bridgeport, who set up a
similar defense of insanity due to al
coholic and drug addiction. Alien
lists Dieffendorf and John @. Lynch,
who appeared in the present trial,
were the insanity experts. The YER
dict was second degree murder redue-
ed from the charge of; first. ScAier-
man was a 1aborer.
The Haines jury retired shortly af-
ter IL o'clock last night. They were
accommodated with six cots in the
main criminal superior court room,
three cots in the jury room and three
cots in the attorneys room. These
rooms are all connected and the doors
remained open within. All the outer
doors were locked and guards placed
at the entrances. Deputy ,Sheriffs
Frank Olmstead, James Herman and
Frank FasaneIIa maintained the nee
essary watch.

When General Pershing gave the
order to march at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning, the soldiers swept for
ward with a shout. Cowboys off the
ranges enrolled as scouts and cavalry
led the way. The infantry regiments;
some field artillery and a wagon train
followed.
The departure was as business-liIxe
as a practice march. A long, hazy
line of alkali dust, standing out
against the dull white of the plains,
and the blazing sun, marked the pro-
gress of the troops.
General SIocum met General Da-
villa, of the Carranza forces, who
promised that no resistance would be
made to crossing the border. The en-
tire Mexican population in Pa1omas,
soI1iers and civilians, withone excep-
ton, cleared a way when the Ameri-
cans marched through the town. The
censor has asked all correspondents
filing by mail not to disclose military
movements or details as to numbers
of troops, saying that to make public
questions of such military Importance
might mean arIoss of American lives.
This applied only to mail matter as
not even the general facts of the
crossing have been allowed to go over
the telegraph wires, which are under
military control.
The column leaving Columbus was
thoroughly equipped for all conditions
that might arise and represented all
arms of the service. Z
