o. leaders today called on the Passaic
Valleys 5000 silk and rayon workers
TO strike Monday--a strike they said
was intended to raise standards of the
workers and stabilize the industry for
the employers.
The proposed strike, which the Tex

hoped would be Nation wide. except
for those plants which have signed
agreements with the Committee for
Industrial Organization, was termed
by the T. w. o. C. "the first real gen.
eral strike in the silk and rayon in
dustry"
Carl Holderman, regional r. w. o.
c. director, said the strike, If Ma
ton wide, would affect so 600 workers,
1900 Of whom, he said, are employed
in Pennsylvania. The T. w. o. C. an
nounced in New York that agreements
had been signed with some PennsyI-
yania, Massachusetts and New York
companies, and 1t was thus impossible
to determine how widespread the
threatened strike would be.
Larger manufacturers, their spokes-
men have said, were not opposing the
strike, but were hoping 1t would result
in one standard Of wages, hours and
other working conditions for the entire
| industry.
The strikers demand union recogni-
ton, 40-hour week, 10 to 20 per cent
wage increases, SIS weekly minimum

Retaliation Hinted After 3
German NeWsmen Are
Banned.
By the AsSocia ted Press.


LONDON, August THE British
home Offices order compelling three
German newspaper correspondents to
leave England tonight appeared likely
to open a prolonged Anglo German
controversy. Two of the three al
ready have left for Germany.
AS Berlin dispatches told of Ger
man official threats OF retaliation
there were indications the German
Embassy here was preparing for some
action in the matter.
Two members Of the Embassy staff
travelled by airplane to Renfrew, in
Scotland, where the Ambassador,
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, is on va
cation. The correspondents plight
was understood to be the subject of a
conference. and it was indicated when
the two Embassy members returned
to London tomorrow the Embassy
would at least ask for further infor-
nation concerning the home Office
order.
No Explanation.
The home Office declined, without
explanation, to renew the labor per-
mits Of the German writer's and they
we're given two weeks to wind up their
personal affairs and leave the coun-
try.
The one remaining in London was
Werner Crome, chief correspondent
here of the Berliner Lokalanseiger the
last three years. about 40 years old.
The other two were younger men who
had been here only a few months,
representing German agency spe-
cializing in news Of Germans abroad,
Franz Otto Wrede and Void Dietrich
Langen.
Marie Edenhofer, Crome's secretary,
and another German woman, secre-
tary to Langen, left some time ago.
Crome said he was preparing 10
leave shortly.
Retaliation Expected.
In Berlin the official German news
agency said the government makes
no attempt to conceal.the fact it has
been most diSagreeably impressed by
the English action" The agency add
ed that since the British government
has taken such action against per-
sons whose presence it deems "unde-
sirable from the viewpoint of Anglo
German relations" it will be under
Standable if corresponding action is
taken on the German side"
Only this week a four months DO
Iitico-journalistic feud between Italy
and Britatn-in which all action was
on the Italian side-was ended. Ital-
ian correspondents returned TO Lon
don and Italy's ban against entry of
several British newspapers has been
