for shipment by the end of next month. Delay in the delivery. of machinery and tools has greatly nindered the company from manufacturing rifles. The woodworking machines were promised by the manufacturers the latter part of November and it was not until the month of June that these nna- chimes were received and then they were expressed rather than-to take a chance by freight traffic on account of the great uncertainty.
 Same Conditions in Other Cities.
 In this respect Norwich has been no different than many other cities where the same conditions have been found.
 Agreements were entered into with manufacturers of tools and machinery for certain work at certain prices and delivery at certain times. But as time went on the working conditions of the country became upset on aC- count of the great demand for labor, machinists particularly being sought. This was an account of the many or deTs received by munitions factories, When the orders were placed for the ma Chinery for the Hopkins and Allen plant the drawings had been executed for the tools and orders placed for them the situation was very unsettled
 Prices had increased for material and fer labor and orders placed had to be
 filed to await the execution of orders received from other companies.
 MT Drury stated that at the pres ent time the company is employing
 about 600 men and that from now on he confidently expected the num- Der would be fnCTeaOSed from day tC day. With reference to the addition to the plant just completed on Chest nut street he said that at present if
 waS employed for storage purposes
 In this building there are stored prob- ably 1AO 900 stocks. With reference
 to the rumor that the stocks had beer in all orders similar to that fOl found to be useless it was stated thai
 stocks there are bound to be certain numbers of imperfect ones, and that the first stocks used on the machines were the imperfect ones and of course | everyone was thrown out until sucl time as the machines and men haC been perfected with the method O1 ! turning them out. The new kiln con- structed at the plant is the larges of the kind and naturally there has been difficulty in getting it to wOrl perfectly but this has now been ac- compIished and work is expected tc proceed from nov on in a most satis- factory manner.
 It is said that the local plant is one of the most complete in the country This statement has been made by of fciaIs of ether big plants who have gone through the Hopkins and AlleT ! COmpany's buildings.

In the dele gatiop were J. J. Corkery, Daniel T. Shea and Shepherd B. Palmer. They were. accompanied on the trip through the plant by Mir. Higgins and Superin- tendent Brown. Every department was visited and Supt. Brown explained to the visitors each process the guns are put through They saw stocks in the rough, thousands of them, and stocks
 practically finished, gun barrels in all stages machines in operation and ma
 chimes being .eet up. They were great ly impressed by the activity every where throughout the plant, as ev-
 erYone was busy.
 One of the members of the visiting
 party eXpra d himself as more than
 pleased with E1e progress being made by the company. In one room they
 saw forty thousand gun stocks well along and almost ready for the bar rels. Forty thousand stocks seems a pretty large figure but it is not to be compared to the thousands and thousands of rough stocks piled up in tho yard.
 In one room the man in charge said he had about fifty hands at work and that in a short time he expected to have 250 hands in that room.
 The visitors were shown the new dry kiln where a temperature of some ITO degrees is maintained tWenty-fOur hours a day and they also paid a visit to the testing rooms where the guns are thoroughly tested before they are packed for shipment.
 The various processes were explain ed in detail by Superintendent Brown who showed a thorough knowledge of the workings of the enti1@ plant. He was ever ready to answer the numer- Ous questions asked by the visitors who were greatly pleased at the reception afforded them everywhere on the trip They were in the plant for over an hour and a half
