 Employees Still Working

employees having been discharged yesterday.
 The young man who denied those reports at the factory said he was not in position to make an official statement, or disclose his name, because he was only In charge of the factory while MT Lipshitz was away.
 "You can come up and see for yourself that all the girls are working as usual" he said. This morning there were several girls who came to the business office but went back to work when l told them MT Lipshitz would be here this afternoon. The only way can figure it out is that some one is try ing to stir up trouble. There was no discussion by the girls who came to the office this morning about wages, working hours or regula- tions."
 The young man declined to state specifically what, the purpose oi the visit was.
 The company has been located In watertown for about three months the man said.
