Mr, Johnston said he had ) been informed that because - Stryetural iron workers on the new ‘buildings being constructed for the Remington company were out on strike the bricklayers soon would be forced to quit. | He said the brick- layers had worked up to the peint where the structural iron workers ‘guit and that he beliéved they would | be unable to do more work after ‘to- ‘morrow. J Representatives of the Machinists’ union went to the plant this forenoon to make sure that none of the men ‘Rvent out on strike at the noon hour, | the time previously set for the walk- out. They thought it probable that some of the machinists might have not heard of the change in the gen- #ral plans. Both Mr. Keppler and Mr. fohnston agreed today that unless a vorable message was received from . the persons trying to arrange for | settlément, the men would be called . aut tomorrow.

Gompers Not Sought. In regard to the remarks in Wash- ington of Samuel’'Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labcr | Mr. Johnston said today that he had not been asked by.the machinists to interest himself in the situation here, Last night, in speaking of Mr. Gom- pers, Mr. Johnston said, “If. anyone asks -him to interest' himself, it will be the Remington people. It will not be us.” Mr. French declined to confirm or dény a rumor that circulated in Bridgeport that a number of special guards at the plant had turned in thelr clubs and quit their jobs. Statement IH-Advised. Arter Mr. Kepler had been ad vised of the complete text of Mr. Gompers’ statement' he said: “I cannot see why Mr. " Gompers should interest himself in this situa- tion. Now, he says he is going to | " try to settle matters. His statement if he is quoted corectly placed us in a maost peculiar situation. No'| matter which way the thing goer somebody is likely to claim that they have been sold out. I think Mr, Gompers’ statement is ill advised, to say the least. 'And I wani to repeat at this point what I have said about the charge that German influences wehe behind this movement. That charge is absolutely false.” ITALIAN CRUISER SENT T0 BOTTOM (Continued from First I{a.ge.) ned by twe _soldiers, a customs officer | and ' a constable went out.and cav- tured the machine with the two Aus- trian officers, who composed the crew. ¥rench Official Report. .
