SOLDIERS ORNAMENTS
 TO BE MADE AT HOME
Conq. Kennedy Has Contracts AWad-
 cd to American Manufacturers.
Especial to the Herald.>

Special to the Herald.)
 Washington, July 14.-In May of this year contracts were let to for eign manufacturers for buttons worn on the clothing and ornaments on the collars and caps of American sol- diers under the war department.
 Learning of this fact Congressman Kennedy at once commenced an 1n-. vestigation as to why. contracts were awarded to foreign manufacturers over American manufacturers, and objected strenuously to the award of any contracts to foreign manufactur- CTS. He called at the British em- bassy in Washington to ascertain If American manufacturers were award ed contracts in England over English manufacturers, and the statement was made that they were unable to answer his question, but promised to submit the question to the home gov ernment and write him later. He then appealed to the state. depart ment, and that department communi- cated with the British embassy, tele- grams and cables were exchanged, and on June 9, MT. Kennedy was in- formed by the state department as to the true situation in relation to for eign manufacturers and American manufacturers. With the facts in his possession MT. Kennedy waited for the next bids to be opened by the war department.
 Sustain Congressman Kennedy. sS> On June 26, when the bids were opened for buttons for use on the uniforms of the soldiers of the army he immediately went to the war de- partment and protested against any award being made to a foreign man. ufacturer and presented the facts in his possession in relation to American manufacturers unsuccessful attempt to secure contracts from foreign pow CTS where bids were given for the manufacture of goods to be used in connection with the army or navy of such foreign powers. After investi- gating the protest filed by MT. Ken nedy and examining the letters in his possession, the war department off1- cials sustained him in his objection and the contract for buttons will be awarded to American manufacturers, on the same grounds that American manufacturers are excluded from re- ceiving contracts from foreign coun- tries. Ji
 The following manufacturing con l cerns have received the benefit Of | MT. Kennedys work. The Water bury Button Co.,. The Steele and Johnson Co.,, and the Scoville Manu- featuring Co., all of Waterbury. Con- ! necticut, and D. Evans &*co., of At- tleboro Falls, Massachusetts
 Most Important Move.
 sThis is the most important move 1 that has been made by q congress man in recent years for the sole bene- fit of American manufacturers in re- l lation to government contracts. For years under all administrations, for eign manufactu have reaped a harvest against the interest of the American manufacturers. r 1 The situation will be watched with considerable interest, when the nexl
 bids are called for buttons. ornaments l and clothing, and the American man l ufacturers must be on their guard
 and see that their interests are prop l erly protected.

this made him very sympathetic to-
