 Yesterday the company threw open the gates and announced that it's fin- ishing department would resume operations. Nobody came to work but the overseers and second hands. To- day the program was repeated. There was no disorder. The iron battalion at Natick, shock troops of the early weeks of the strike, did not appear.
 Troops Are Out.
 The troops were out and the police of Kent county were present in force, More than 40 cavalrymen patrolled up and down. Under the ruling now in force in the Pawtuxet valley that strikers from outside villages must not picket mills. "deadline' has been drawn at the outskirts of Center vile, the adjoining village and here troopers stopped and questioned all corners. There were not many ar rivals.

NO PROSPECTS FOR
 IMMEDIATE PAYMENT
T.. s. Not Likely to Collect Expenses of Rhineland Occupation Out of First Preparations Payment.

Paris, March Ii By Associated and British official circles today is that the American claim for reim- bursement of s241, 100000 for expens- es of the American forces in the Rhineland before any separations are paid, will be referred to the repara- tions commission without specific rec concentrations.
 The allied finance ministers, to whom the American note was ad dressed, discussed the question at a meeting today.
 Allied officials expressed belief that there was little chance that the Am erican share of the expenses of oc- cupation could be paid out of the first billion gold marks of German repara tions, since the distribution of this amount had been settled after labori- ous discussion, which would have to be begun over again if America's ex- penses were to be paid out of this amount. At the same time, no one questioned the right of the United States to demand her proportionate share.
 The American note concludes by stating that the United States would demand the entire payment for cur rent expenses but that if it received assurances of payment it foresaw no difficulty in agreeing with regard to the practical details for payment.
