what he could do.
In a few weeks it was ready, and sew

will be divided. Thus, if one hundred
cars are turned out, $4,000 Will be
divided at the end Of the week among
the employees. The Locomobile Com
pany now makes forty touring cars a

A great demonstration occurred at
the plant this noon when the announce
ment was made. President Davis OF
the company thinks the increased et-
ficiency and. better cooperation viii
compensate the firm for the increase.

lists union agitators from Bridgeport
led by William Larkin, held big meet
ING last nigh; as the first move 10
unionize the Colt Patent Fire Arms
plant, in this clty.N
The Colt management earlier in the
Gay told the prospective strikers they
would grant - per cent bonus on
the last three months profits on the
big war orders, which will keep the fac
tory busy for two years.
Colts is conducted as an open shop,
though there were some union machln-
lists employed on August |, 1914.
About 900 men will divide the profits.
The company reserves the right TO abol-
ish the bonus system any time after
the first of the year. No emplOye who
leaves the company or who shall have
been discharged shall participate in
the distribution, which it is believed is
more acceptable to the men than the
new scale of hours and wages which
Modified the employees Of the Reming-
ton and Winchester plants. An en-
ploye who is prevented by sickness
from working will not forfeit his share
of the bonus.
