He afterwards admitted that he came here under orders from a labor headquar- ters to try and get, the Germans away from the works, by offering them posi- tions across the line. In the afternoon, the stranger got into conversation with the Germans at the hotels, as he speaks their lan- guage periectly. He made enticing pro- positions. to them, it is understood. Some of the Germans afterwards ex- pressed themselves as perfectly satis- fied with the treatment accorded them here, and refused to listen to any proposal to "move out."
