CONNECTICUT ARMS
 FIRMS UNDER FIRE
Contracts With Three Rifle Con-
 CernS. Criticized As Unfair

Washington, Sept. 12.-Contracts for the manufacture of 100000 rifles for the United Sta tes Army have been under the scrutiny of members of the house committee on appropri- in the executive hearings of that com mittee it may develop that criticism of the terms of the contracts will be made on the floor of the house.
 The contracts were made with the Remington Arms Company, the Rem- fhgton Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company, and the Winchester Re beating Arms Company. The papers were signed for the United States by General Crozier, chief of the army bureau of ordnance, and were ex- amined and approved by the war in dustries board of which Frank A. Scott is chairman.
 The United States ran into a situ- ation on rifle making which arose from the contracts between the com panies and the British government. The companies made a contract which they felt they could not live up to-, and in the general encouragement the British government bought the rifle making machinery and then turned it over again to the companies to make the rifles Later the United States paid the British government for half the cost of the same machinery. The United States has about $9,OOO, 900 worth of machinery in the plants.
