Wholesale Graft Discovered
In the Manufacture of

NEW YORK. July 24.-Oficers

justice in its expose Of alleged ma
tion-wide conspiracy Of bribery and
graft in the manufacture OF soldiers

would be accepted until further no
tice. and that payment would be
suspended on large quantities Of
goods already delivered.
This action was taken by Capt.

Thomas McGrath. in charge OF the
inspection of all war materials in
this district IL followed arrest
Monday OF L men and the discov-
cry of thousands Of defective rain
coats ready for shipment TO France,
at the quartermaster's depot here.
According 10 the Investigators
working under Assist. Atty. Gen.
Huston Thompson, these defective
coats include many bearing rejec-
ton marks and others which had
not even been inspected. These de-
fective coats, it was said were
mixed with other coats. in bundles
packed by the manufacturers.
Practice Increased.
Investigators intimated that more
rejected or uninspected coats had
been slipped through since the place
of inspection was shifted a few
months ago from the quartermas-
ter's depot 10 the factories. This
change had been made. il was said
at the request of the manufactur-
ers, who claimed that prompt per
Torrance of their contracts re-
CURED earlier payment than could
be had if inspection was not made
until hnal delivery.
Federal officials would not state
whether suspension of deliveries
and payments mean that contracts
will be cancelled, or whether they
would recommend seizure and op-
GRAFTON of plants by the government.
In connection with the arrest to-
day Of Harry +. Lazarus, a wealthy
clothing manufacturer, charged
with attempting 10 bride a govern

planned that while cooperating
with the council of national defense,
Lazarus was not actually a member

urers who conferred with the sub
committee on questions Of produc-
