gun, Attorney Merritt stated that the
former rates would be reinstated and
that they would continue until the
controversy had been settled.
Mr.. Lavit then stated to Examiner
Hannah that on piece work the die
cutters had been cut from 50 to $1.25
a die and that the hour rate had been
reduced to SIS cents an hour The
men who cut these dies are classed
as toolmakers and as such are entitled
to much more under the union wage
scale He also stated that Burke was
competent and had been in the factory
long enough 70 rthem to discover the
fact If he was incompetent long be-
fore this.
\ In regard to Hutchinson he asserted
that it was because he did not have
the necessary tools to do his work
that he had to leave his machine. The
tools are very costly and are not fur
nished to the men. He said that it
was necessary for him to leave his
machine to get tools which the men
often borrowed from each other.
The case for the machinists is now
closed. They have presented their
arguments and have submitted the
manner in which they feel their craft
should be classified and the wage de-
manded per hour. There are, how
ever, q number of other crafts who

PASSES into The.
CARE OF PALMER
Seized Under Act of Admin
istration of Property of
Enemy Aliens.

Announcement was made in New
York Wednesday by A. Mitchell Pal
ner, custodian of alien enemy prop
e-ty, that the plant Of the Interna-
t1onal Textile Co. of this city, for
merly the Alb. & E. Henkels, Inc,
had been taken over under the law
giving him authority to take charge
of the property of enemy aliens in
this country. Max Henkels, who
founded the company here in 1909,
has been adjudged as the owner.
Henkels is still German citizen al
though a graduate Of Columbia Uni
versity. He applied for citizenship
papers, but they have not yet been
issued. He is at liberty in Bridgeport
under a permit which allows him to
travel from his home to the plant in
the East End.
Investigation of the ownership of
the Henkels plant was made by Fran
els P. Garvan, director of the bureau
of Investigation, and evidence show
ing that while the stock had been
presumably transferred to H. Albert
Phillips it is still owned by Henkels
was found. Last March the company
was reorganiZed, the name Of Hen
kels was dropped, and that Of the In
ternational Textile, Inc, assumed.
Henkels is said to own all of the
capital stock, but when the new name
was assumed it was transferred to
Phillips, who gave a series of long
term notes under a contract which it
is alleged makes Henkels still the
virtual owner. The plant Is valued at
about 81, 100000.
Asked by a reporter for The Times
if they cared to make any statement
both Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Henkels
declined, declaring they had nothing
to say at this time.
Mr.. Henkels, however. denied the
assertion that he is a reserve officer
of the German army, saying he had
never served in the army, and is not
in the reserve as an officer or in any
other capacity.

Washington, Sept 15.-In wiping
ont the st. Mihiel salient in 27 hours,
American troops supported by French
divisions captured $1,000 prisoners,
more than 200 guns of all calibers,
hundreds of machine guns and
trench mortars This was disclosed
by General Pershing's communiques
for yesterday and today, received
tonight at the war department
The enemy was pressed so hard,
General Pershing said, that the en-
emy was forced to abandon great
quantities of ammunition, telegraph
and railroad materials, rolling stock,
clothing and equipment. In addi-
ton he burned large stores.
That the Americans still are press
ing on at least i'm part of the sector
was shown by the communique for
today, which said that on the left
bank of the Moselle the American
lines had been extended from one to
two miles, during which operations
~ guns were brought In.
The enemy reacted near st. Hil-
alre, bat his counter attack easily
was repulsed and prisoners taken,
the American commander reported.
General Pershing's announcement
that the americans advancing on
two sides of the st, Mihiel salient
had been able to form a juncture in
27 hours after they went over the
top occasioned no surprise among
army officers here. Despite refer
ence in press dispatches to two days
Of fighting, these officers felt con-
fident that the Americans had at
tanned the immediate detectives of
thei9 first independent offensive in
about a hours.

She arrived safely in port late today.

Passengers of the steamship de-,

they heard no detonation before the
shells fired from the submarine ex-
ploded near them In tho sea. They
asserted they saw 'tflaHas' of the

to be not more than a half mile away.
This gave rise to the opinion that the
raider was using silent gun.
British officers on the steamer said
tho firing might have come from q
