unionization vigorously.
 Nevertheless German declared fiatly:
 "We. shall organize all textile workers. believe it fair to say, we can protect the right of work CTS against any attempt at en- croachnent."
 Among the questions still to be settled is that of industry's accept ance of the peace plan of the Wi nant mediation board. The union accepted this as a basis of ending the strike. The manufacturers while generally expected to ap- prove it. have given no formal answer.
 This was not expected to inter- fered with the re-opening of many mills, in the main manufacturers were as anxious as workers to get plants running again. Little diffi- culty was anticipated over the matter of re-hiring workers with out discrimination. This was the recommendation of the Winant board. As a precaution union re- presentatives were asked to: re- port any cases of discrimination to Washington headquarters imme- diately.
 The only place where the strike was known to be continuing was against the yarn manufacturers in New York City. About 2.000 op- eratives are out and will remain on strike until a separate settlement is made. It was explained that this branch of the industry Is not covered ly the Wfnant report.
 Other mills may not open irn- mediately due to necessity for re- conditioning on account of the three week layoff. ;ta
 Business men in textile districts were delighted at the resumption of operations. They reported that the cessation of payrolls had be- gun t. react on sales. The end of the strike also ended the problem of federal relief agencies in con- nection with feeding of strikers Little aid had proved necessary by the time the walkout was ended
 The strikes end also meant early demobilization of the nation al guard concentrations in south ern and New Englad states. Troopr remained on guard in some places temporarily util work was re- Sumed. ....r

Deputy Lynch May Be
 Named Fire Chief.
Veteran Associate of Late Chief eitman Expected to
 Be Advanced No Outsiders Need Apply

Though definite action is not for at least several weeks, there Is already consider able speculation about the city in regard to the appointment of a new chief of the fire department to succeed the late Henry H. Hcit- man, chief for 20 years, who died suddenly last week at his desk at headquarters. The general public opinion and sentiment, according to those. who have been making preliminary soundings, is for the appointment of man from the fire departments own ranks 1t is scarcely expected that the board of fire commissioners will go out side the department to choose the new chief. remembering yet, after two decades. the storm that arose when George M. Beach was brought from a local factory to act as superintendent of police.
 Lynch Favored
 The most probable action taken by the board will be the appoint ment of the present acting chief Deputy Thomas Lynch, who has been associated with the d. part ment since 1895 and who has been a deputy since 1920. Popular and well-esteemed, the deputy will un- doubtedly be given first considera- tion when the chief is being named but it is believed. that, with his long record of service, he would be content with receiving the hon. or of holding 1t for only a short time, then relinquishing 1t.
 Annotntment as chief would eli. max a life's ambition for Deputy Lynch and would undoubtedly be considered a fitting tribute to his brilliant service record. Soon after he had been thus honored. it is be- lieved, he would prefer to retire rather than hold down the ardu- ous post permanently.
 Retirement of Deputy Lynch, should he be honored with the. ap- pointmeht, would bring about q real contest for the position, which pays $6,000 a year, minus the present pay cuts.
 Prominently mentioned among candidates for the honor are Cap tain Thomas 'Cavanaugh, acting deputy, and one of the depart ment's best technical authorities Bloomfield, another veteran, and Captain Martin Campion. drill master and one of the depart ments best technical authorities s, Others mentioned for the post Of chief or for advancement to the vacant deputyship are Captain Philip D. Kelley, Captain John F. Ahearn, Captain Frank Ryan. Cap- tain Joseph Bagley. All are men

 New York, Sept --(UP)--A decline of more than 6 points in the stock of United States Smelt- ing 6 Refining company featured an irreguIarly lower lstock market to-day. items. Steel operations rose near- ly 2 points to 24.2 per cent of ca- pacity, according to the American Iron & Steel Institute.

 The break in U. s. Smeiting came on the eve of it's directors divi- dend meeting. Recent estimates on earnings of the company have been pared down sharply, and some traders anticipated the directors might not be as liberal as recently with extras. So far this year tfe company has paid $7 in regular and extra dividends combined. The regular annual rate at present IS $3.50.
 Silver shares were down to more than 2 points with U. s. Smelting. Gold mining issues join ed the decline. Homestake Mining came out at 40S off points from the previous close. Alaska Juneau and Noranda Mines were of frac- tionaIly.

who have been with the department for years and have excellent serv- ice records.
 Captain Cavanaugh, as acting deputy, would logically have the inside track should Deputy Lynch retire after he had been appoint ed chief. He has been on the force since 1905 and has been a captain since 1908.
 Captain Bloomfield, another prominent candidate, has been on the department roster few months longer than Captain Cava- naugh and was promoted to hls present rank Tn 1913.
 Captain Campion, though young CT in the service. has advanced rapidly and must be seriously con- sidered in. the pre-appointment dis cussion.
 No Outsiders
 Even in official circles 1t is ap- parently conceded that the next chief will be one of the depart- ment's own men. In view of Deputy Lynch's years of service it seems most probable that he will be honored with the appointment, but should even u successor to him be chosen shortly afterward, the new appointee will almost certainly b, chosen from the ranks.

Decided Action
 Ls Finally WithdralDn
$l0,OO0 Alienation of Affection Case Went to Supreme Court Twice-No Error Found in Last Judgment
 of Trial Judge Who Cut Verdict in Half

Withdrawal of the $10,000 alien ation of affection suit from the common pleas court today of Wal ter Madday against Serge Nikitko, brings to an end, civil action that had the distinction of twice making trips to the supreme court of errors. The first the suit was tried and appeal, error was found and a new trial ordered. The sec ond time, no error was found in the decision of the trial judge, Elbert B. ,Hamlin of Litchfield, who cut in half the amounts awarded the palintiff by the jury.i
 The plaintiff claimed in his suit that the defendant alienated the love and affection of his wife. When the suit came to trial a ver- dict of $4,500 was given the plain tiff by common pleas court jury. Attorney Sidney s. Cassel and Alt torney Michael. V. Blansfield repre- sented the plaintiff adn Attorney William B. Fitzgerald appeared for the defendant. An appeal to the supreme court was taken and the Fh1gn- court sent the case Oach for a new trial when errors was found.
 The second time the case was tried last sprign, Judge Hamlin came in to preside because the judges of the common pleas court here, Edward J. Finn and Miles F. McNiff had disqualified them selves. The same lawyers repre- sented the plaintiff in the second trial, but Healey & Healey this time represented the defendant. A verdict of $8,000 was returned against Nikitko in the second trial. Judge Hamlin, on application of Attorney Patrick Healey, cut the verdict in hal fand instructed that the plaintiff could take that amount or appeal.

F extile Men Back;
 Unionization Begins
Labor Still Challenges Industry Power of German
 Intensified By His Demands for Workers

Washington, Sept z4-(U.P.)- Back to their looms to-day went thousands of textile workers with the greatest strike; of the new deal at an end and new fight for unionization of every opertive in the vast industry just beginning.
 Though the strike Is over, la bor's challenge to the industry will be intensified, Francis J. German, United Textile Workers vice-pres- ident who directed the vast walk out, warned manufacturers.
 He set his goal at 100000 union members. The union now has about 300,000 and was able to affect close to 500,000 operatives during the strike.
 The cost of the conflict, one of the bitterest and most far-fiung in modern American industrial an- nals, was set to-day at 16 dead, more than 200 wounded, $15,00O.- 900 in wages and uncounted mill lions in lost business. In addition tnOuSdHuS Ol uOlldTS OL pTOpSLty was destroyed and considerable sums spent for militia and special guards and deputies.
 Germans drive! for unionization of the whole industry deflected his belief that union ranks came through the strike unharmed and increased by new thousands of members, especially in southern textile centers.
 His goal. if achieved. would make the textile union the largest unit in organized labor in the country. It would also make Cor man one of the most powerful of labor spokesmcn.
 The union program seemed to make certain that the end of the strike would not mean a reign of unbroken peace in the textile in- dustry. Remedies for tho ills upon which the strike complaint was based must be found. And manu- lecturers are certain to resist
