TO MAKE AMERICAN GOODS.
New Company Has Been Former in
Great Britain.

London, March ga new company
has been formed to arrange the manu-
facture of American goods in Great
Britain for British and empire markets,
it is stated by the American Chamber
of Commerce in London.
With the growth of the movement
for preferential tariffs and other pref
erential arrangements among the eoun-
tries making up the British empire,
many American manufacturers already
have considered it desirable TO estab-
lish factories in Canada. The new COM
pany is working, however, on the pre-
sumption that the advantages Of fac
tory in Great Britain are greater.
The American chamber understands
that the new company will encourage
and assist American manufacturers of
successful commodities TO establish
plants in Great Britain, but where the
American manufacturer is not inter
ested in doing so and Is willing to sell
his manufacturing rights, the new com
pany will undertake to find British
or French manufacturers who will take
over these rights Similarly it will in
troduce into America goods which have
proved successful in Great Britain or
France.
The new company is understood to
have received many inquiries from
manufacturers on both sides of the
Atlantic who are anxious to have their
goods produced in the other country.
The function of the new company is to
bring elIch manufacturers toupthpr lis
profits arising out of a percentage of
the royalty or lump sum payable for
the patent or the process.

tracts, claims membership of 1900.
The walkout was effected without
disturbance. The plant continued in
operation and company officials said
there was no indication that suspen-
sion of work would be necessary. OBJ
servers at the factory gates estimated
the number of strikers at 1000 to g.
500. The company estimate placed the
number at 1900 to 500. Union Off
cias said that from $500 to 5000 men
walked out
of the international Association of Ma
chinists had notified the company yes
terday that strike would be declared
unless the individual contract system
was abandoned The time set, however,
was held secret.
The operatives dropped their tools at
the appointed time and left the plant
quietly. Outside they formed coll
umn and marched through the princi-
pal streets without demonstration. At
local union headquarters the strikers
registered and then went to their
homes.

The Hague, March 5. - The Dutch
government to-d day for the second time
refused to deliver the former German
emperor to the allies for trial.
In note addressed to David Lloyd
George, the British premier, however,
the government promised to take all
necessary measures to minimize the
liberty of Wilhelm and prevent him
from endangering the worlds peace.
The second communication from the
Dutch government, which was delivered
in London this morning, states that
these precautions will be taken "on the
spot"
While Doom is not mentioned in the
text of the note, it is understood that
in conversations with the allied diplo-
mats here, the Dutch authorities have
assured them that close guarding and
censorship will be instituted when Will
helm occupies his estate at that place.
Night and day shifts are working on
the kaisers new residence at Doom,
and it is reported he will move there
from Amerongen on May II. A high
fence about the house at Doom, to
which objection was made at first be-
cause 1T obstructed public road, is
now near completion, the authorities
having waived opposition to the work.
A trainload of furniture arrived at
Doom from Berlin several months ago
and recently five additional truck loads
were received there. The building has
been radically remodelled, half of the
first floor being prepared for Count
HohenzolIern's occupany, while one of
the wings will be given over to the for
uer empress.
While unprotected by high walls or
n moat, the Doom estate is now in
reality 200-acre cage that can be east
Dy guarded and within which the Dutch
government expects William of Hohen-
Eolern viii spend the rest of his days.
