Russian Shell Inspection.

Boston hears that the real reason why
the Eddystone Munitions Corporation
surrendered the Russian shell contract
TO tho Baldwin Locomotive Works was
the fckle nature OF the Russian inspec-
ton. 1t Is said that tho Eddystone
people threw up their contract after the
Cars inspectors had changed the fuses
eight times. On taking over the contract
the Baldwin authorities declined to as
sumo any liability. hut agreed to carry
out the contract as the Russians wanted
IT on a cost and percentage basis. thus
the more changes the more money for
Baldwin. The total profits may be ae
much as $1,000, 600. Is Is said. The tale
IL tod that no sooner was the transfer
II the contract accomplished than 5000
pieces on the rejected list were passed
