Prior to the opening of this morn- iny's meeting a young man who evi dently prides himself in his oratorical powers, mounted the stage an an- ' nounced that no reporters would be admitted to the meeting.

Many of the strikers refused to join in the pro- cession, choosing to walk on the side- walk, It was a well behaved crowd and no disorder prevailed, the men ~paying strict attention to the orders of the leaders. ' Striking Molders Return- ‘What' appears to be the breakiug of the backbone of the strike at the Annex of the P. & F. Corbin com- - PRy, occurred this morning when ) the striking molders at the foundry who went out early last week, return- ed and commenced work again. This nformation was. given reporters this .morning by Vice President C. B. Parsons. Union men and those in- erested in the strike when asked con- b cérning the matter denied that this _Was, a fact. Mr. Pease also stated ‘that the places of the striking foundry | héipers had been filled. There have en no further demands made nd everything was working smooth- ly today. Mr- Parsons and Super- ntendent Fletcher spoke to the men ug‘y this morning: Girls Back at C, €. I " A number of the girl strigers at i the 'Corbin Cabinet Lock company eturned to work this morning, leav- g about' twenty-eight still out. The rikers are employees of Foremen Davis and White’s departments and. &déording to the officials, they had { made no demand for increased wages . Or any concessions. Machinists Returning.

He said the present force was about 250. %&ln Said that there had been no demands or concessions made by [ ecither side, and the situation as far . 48 the company was concerned show- ed no change. @ The strikers at the plant have en- d a general denial to the rumors ¢ that the men are retiurning, and in- imate that their ranks show an in- creased number instead of a'decrease. Union Works Busy- The foundry force at the TUnion ufacturing company was-doubled morning by the return of a num- T of the striking molders who went Jut last week. President Corbin said " that the force was greatly increased b, 4 £ today and that there was no new de- lopments: ¢ No Trouble at N. & J. Despite the rumors that have been dfloat over Sunday that a general " strike would be called at North & idd’s Manufacturing company today, failed to materliaze and conditions " remain the same. The foundry is © still closed down with no signs of q rgfimlng immediately. z At the Stanley oWrks, Superintendent C. F. Bennett of © the Stanley’ Works today stated that there was no trouble of any nature at the factory. It had been rumored t¥t a strike was impending, but: it evidently failed to materialze. Ready to Compromise? It is said the Machine company is ready to compromise with its strik- er; For a short time previous to %fi strike, the night force received a onus of twenty per cent. It is said the company is now willing to put three eight-hour shifts to work and give the men in each shift a bonus. It was rumored on the street today that a conference had been planned between the officials and a com- ittee of the strikers. No confirma- tion of this could be secured, Treas- urer Pease branding it as false. Paint Factory Windows. ‘At the P. & F. Corbin plant yes- terday workmen were engaged in giv- ing the inside of the panes of glass in the press room windows a coat:of ghite paint. It was from this roomn at a number of girls struck last week and the pgint renders it impos- mible for outsiders to look into the room and see who is working.

Good_Order_Prevails. 0l weather had an apparent the crowds that have con- gregated at the Corbin Screw Cor- podation during the past few days, there being a heavy decrease in the ranks. Everything was very quiet both this morning and this noon, and the squad of twenty-one policemen had a comparatively easy time. One of the strikers said this afternoon that the situation has reached the point where the mayor can call off the po- lice and fire department as their services will not be needed. Fail to Return t0 Work, The employees of the coaster brake ‘department of the Corbin Screw cors poration failed to DUt in an appear- ance this afternoon at the factory which gave rise to rumor that there had ‘been another strike at the con- cern. President Glover said that he.| believed that the men were a little timid about returning to work. Machinists Want Tools, Two striking machinists at the New Britain Machine company called at the police station this afternoon and complained that the factory officials would not permit them to enter the factory to get their tools.

Their official announce- ment reports the capture of a German ‘post on the right bank of the Yser, with the consequent evacuation by the Germans of adjoining trenches. ' Problem foy Germans. It is believed in London that the new move in the west will _again bring the Germans face to faee with the necessity of making a choice be- tween the two fronts, as was the case earlier in the war. Military writers point out that the Russians are now holding the Austrians and Germans on a front of 700 miles, while the presence of nearly 2,000,000 strongiy entrenched Germans has failed to’| prevent an advance in France. This, they say, must increase the perplex- ities of the German general staff and react immediately on any plans which may have been formed for new at- tacks in the south or southeast. ¢ British Warship Sunk. Berlin, Sept. 27, by Wireless to Tuckerton, N. J.—One British war- ship was sunk and two others were damaged in the attack by a British squadron on German batteries along the Belgian coast, .especially .at Zee- brugge, simultaneously with the launching of the allied new offensive movenent: on land, according to the German-official statemerit of Sept. 26.

The passages in the official state- ment which refer to these incidents of the fighting are as follows: “British ships attacked the German coast batteries, especially at = Zee- bruge. The attack failed and after one ship had been sunk and : two cthers were damaged the ships with- drew. Two Officers Captured. “On the ¥pres ‘front the enemy suffered heavy losses and attained ne advantage. Two British officers and one hundred men were captured and six machine guns were takens “The Germans voluntarily evacu- ated the ruins of the former village of Souchez. Here 1,200 men were taken prisoner, including one English brigade commander and several offi- cers, and ten machie guns were cap- tured. 8,750 French Taken. “North of Mourmelon Le Grand and close to the western Argonne . . . more than 8,760 French, of ' whom thirty-nine were officers, were taken prisoner.” The foregoing claims of losses in- flicted upon the British naval forces attacking the Belgian coast was omitted from the German official statement as gabled through London Vvesterday, doubtless having been struck out by the censor. { Turks Retake Positions.
