WoRkMEN AVERAGING $14
A DAY GO ON STRIKE.
Drop Forgers, Die Sinkers and Trim.
nners of Bridgeport Remington Plant.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 16.-One
hundred drop forgers. die sinkers and
triInmers employed at the Remington
Arms and Ammunition company went
out on strike this afternoon an t1it is
expected that fifty more men will ,ave
their Benches tomorrow morning. A
disagreement over the payment for
spoiled work is the cause of the walk
out on strike this afternoon and it is
that work spoiled by the men must
be paid for by the operatives. The
men claim that it is unfair To force
them to pay for material which then
reverts to the ownership of the COM
pany.
Another contention of the men is
that those who work on a piece work
basis are frequently forced to labor
without being paid for it. The COM
pany counters with the statement that
these men earn on an average Of $14
a day, and that they should be will
ing to do a little extra work when
tools for their particular calling are
lacking.
Union officials predicted tonight that
Unless some settlement is reached to-
morrow every man in the vast fac
tories will be called out The COM
pany spokesman expected the men to
return to work in the morning.

AMERICAN MADE MUNITIONS
POURING INTO EUROPE
At the Rate of Nearly Two Million
Dollars Worth Daily.

Washington, Feb 16.-American-
made war munitions are now pouring
into Europe at the rate of nearly two
million dollars worth daily, with the
figures swelling rapidly as production
increases. For a long time after the
war began shipments were negligible
and not until the middle of 1915 did
the millions of dollars worth of war
materials contracted for begin to
move in considerable quantities.
Estimates made at the department
of commerce today put total muni-
tions shipments since Europe began
90 purchase for the present war close
to quarter of a billion dollars AT
the rate shipments are going now, the
next four months would see this total
doubled even if production remained
at standstill, but prediction is de-
clared to be growing faster now than
at any time since American manufac-
turerS began conversion of their
plants into munitions factories
A great part of the munitions out
put has been in the form of high ex-
plos1ve shells, more than one hundred
million dollars worth of which have
left American shores. Powder comes
next with shipments estimated at
nearly one hundred millions and small
arm cartridges are third with $50, ,0OO,-
OOO. Firearms, including ordnance
exports, are put less than $40, ,00O, 900
with small increases shown. The
heaviest months firearms shipments
was in January, 1915, when more than
$2,0OO,00O worth went to Europe.

ed to engage in the munitions busi-
ness on a large scale.
