MAY CUT SHRAPNEL OUTPUT.
Remington 20. Makes BrRss Butts
for Bethlehem shells.

BETHLEHEM. Pa. July 16.-The turn
ing out OF shrapnel shells at the Beth
lehem Steel Company will soon become
affected II the strike at the Remington
at Bridgeport. Conn. continues.
The Remington company makes practi-
cally all the brass butts for the shells
turned out here. that is, that part Of
the shell which contains the powder and
percussion cap. The Steel company
makes the steel shell and the lead shrap-
mel. while the Scoville company of Con
necticui makes most OF the fuses or
heads Of the shrapnel shells.
The strike at the Remington plant will
not affect the manufacture of the steel
shells, but II will hold up the finishing
OF them II it lasts, for at the rate the
local plant is making shells the Reming-
ton concern is pushed to furnish the
butts fast enough.
David A. Thomas. special agent in
America Of David Lloyd George. Eng
lish Minister OF Munitions. paid a secret
visit to the local steel plant to-day. This
is believed to be the forerunner of addi-
tional war contracts.
