TROUBLE OVER WORK HOURS AT GRoToN IRON WORKS

As a result of a notice posted on Wednesday at the plant of the Groton Iron works about 100 of the men who usually work nights declined to accept the conditions and returned home. The notice stated that the men would be expected to work 12 hours a night for four nights, making a 43-hour week at straight time The men contend that both the government and the unions recognize eight hours as constituting a days work, and they refused to agree to the 12-hour schedule without com pensation for overtime.
 On Thursday, as the result of conference, announcement was made to the men that they could work eight hours might for five nights and seven hours on Saturday night. This, the men say, would, on account of the 4T- hour week, lose for them the advan- tage of the per cent. bonus that is allowed for night work.
 E.' A. Morse, president of the Groton Iron works, was asked regarding the difficulty with the men employed at the shipyard, and he said that a num- Der of men in the punch shop were the ones who are not working just now.
 He said that the connany has been trying to work the men bn two shifts and that the trouble seems to be wholly in the matter of transportation. He, said that the men all want to come to work at the same time, and the ferry accommodations provided by the city of New London do not meet the occasion

THE BROWNING GUN
 IN AT THE GREAT VICTORY

Another weapon forged in America was employed to strike the Germans in the decisive battle of the war. The sinister rattle of the Browning ma chine sunS-American invented and American nade-echoed along the Mouse for the first time in battle, says a New York paper. It might have add ed "Made-in- Norwich"
 Its debut was most suspicious and the greatest satisfaction was express ed over the results attained.
 The Browning machine guns, both Of light and heavy types, have been especially handy weapons. for open fighting and for pursuit Of the Ger mans. They take the saue cart7idge as the American rife, greatly sifnpii- flying the problem of replenislling the supply of ammunition, an exceedingly difficult problem while troops are ad- yancing rapidly as the Americans did in the last few days. What is more, it is impossible to jam the Browning guns by getting them nsaidied.
 Only 8 minority of the troops who pursued the Germans carried Brown ing guns. however, the others still is- ing the Hetcilkiss heavy machine gun and the Chauehat automatic rife. The plan was to replace these with the Browning guns as rapidly as possible in case the war lasted long enough.
 At least the Browning gun was in at the death. It had its first tryout in the trenches in the Vogges some six weeks ago and was employed in a i1ar- assins fire upon the German trenches and dugouts at night. The men fir- ing them were southerners undergoing initial trench training, and their French instructors were much pleased with the gun, pronouneing it first class, It was later used in the Cham pagne.

According to Mir. Ferguson. the War Industries Board will probably grant an. entire &elease in all building op- erations as soon as it car be sure of a supply of steel suffieierS for all work
 "The function of the non-war con- stF7iction section has in the last week been completely reversed and the di- vision can now be looked upon as a constructive organization said Mir. Ferguson.
 Owing to the uncertainty relative to the steel situation and the re- quirements of the Shipping Board aItd railroads it was impossible for the War Industries Boar'1 last week to entirely release all building work from the necessity of oDtaining approv- al in certain special cases. Tt may, however, be definitely stated that all building work will re- ceive enoourasernent and assistance from the War Industries Board instead of disapproval as heretofore. Tt is to be expected that as soon as the War Industries Board can be sure that there will be sufficient steel for al! work an entire release in all building operations will be granted
