openly what MT. Michaels wanted. MT. Bowers recited that in his opin- ion what was asked would not be an embarrassment to the company and he did not think the information would give aid or comfort to the en- emy. His client believed he had right to the information and he did not think the company should use the cloak of war and patriotism to take his clients $20,000 and not to tell him what 1t was doing with it. Judge Foster said that a few months ago MT. Bowers's client, when he had other counsel, was provided with a list of the stockholders and the ad- dresses of these and he said that he and the company stood ready to give MT. Michaels an the information he asked for as to the personnel, but nothing as to the material of the com pany. He would tell him the offic- CTS and directors, how long they have held office, the payments made to them, how often the executive com mittee meets and what they receive for service and what payments they receive in addition to salary He would give the names of employ \,s who receive a salaray of $7,500 and upwards.
 As to the other revelations asked for, said Judge Foster, these would tend to injure the government and 1 the company and he said he was be- | fore the judge with witnesses pre- pared to show the truth of what he contended. In view of Judge Foster expressing a willingness to disclose as to certain matters, Judge Burpee l had Mir. Bowers read the demands which Judge Foster had not agreed to. Judge Burpee asked the purpose | of MT. Michaels in making the ap- | plication. MT. Bowers said that he wished to have a knowledge as to 1 the value of his holdings in the com pany. As to the real estate holdings of the company Judge Foster said he was not willing to give that tn- formation, because to give it would likely tend to locating submarines that are now not known of. Judge Burpee said that application did not appeal to him because he could not see what the information was desired for at this time, and it seemed to him that the cffer of Judge Foster was a fair one.
 All of the demands that Judge Foster said when he made a disclosure as to the officers 1t would be found that some of the officers had remit
 ted all of their salaries to the com.
 pany and that therew as but one mar
 connected with the company who re.
 ceived a salary of more than $7,50t
 year. The officers, he said are
 lending themselI es to the company 1T
 every way. Tho one question tha1
 Judge Burpee thought could be an
 swered without embarrassment to the
 company and which Judge Foster
 had not agreed to answer, was as tc
 the amount of insurancec arried bJ
 the company. The form of order tc
 be signed by Judge Burpee will bt prepared by the lawyers in Bridgepor and then sent to Judge Burpee fol signature, as Judge Foster said ht wanted what was done as result O.

WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD ISSUES
 LABOR RECRUITING REGULATIONS

to another within any state must file @ statement with the nearest em- ployment service office, of the num- Der of men transferred, the wages of- fered and other terms and conditions ef employment promised to the men.
 6. Employers who are permitted to use their own field agents for recruit ing labor must in no case use any fee-charging agency, or use any agents or labor scouts who are paid for their work on a commission basis.
 [. All advertising for unskilled la- bor, whether by card, poster, news paper, handbill, or any other medium is prohibited after August 1, 1918. This applies to all employers engaged wholly or partly in war work, whose maximum force, including skilled and unskilled laborers, exceeds 100.
 The government labor program will be extended to skilled labor as soon as the machinery of the Elm ployment Service Is in adequate run ming order. So far there have been restrictions on the recruiting of skilled labor except the unspoken law against causing reStlesSneSS among men already engaged in war work or other essential industries to divert them to other undertakings. The federal employment bureaus will of fer every possible assistance to those who are seeking skilled labor.
 Employers of workers for non-waI industries should not offer superior inducements or in any other way try to compete with government under takings to interrupt the flow of war essentials.
 Information concerning the viola ton of these regulations should be addressed to the local employment bureau where they are already es- tablished, or to Leo A. Korper, Fed eral Director for Connecticut, at his office at the State Capitol.
