WASHINGTON PLANT DUE FOR EXPANSION
Goss & DeLeeud Co. Products in Demand by Manufacturers

Remarkable progress in the indus trial world has been made in the past few years by the Goss X De Leeuw Machine Co. which is located on the New Britain road in kensing ton. Although the concern is still in it's infancy its business has in creased steadily and further cxpan- sion will be necessary soon.
 The concern was incorporated in 1922 and operations were started in the factory in January, 1924 The company manufactures a high grade multiple spindle chucking machine in two different sizes When the factory was first opened only one size Was manufa ctured. The ma chine proved to be very successful and there was a large demand for it by many of the leading manufactur- ing concerns in the country. After 1t had been on the market for q short time and had proved it's worth the large manufacturers requested the Goss X DeLeeuw concern to manufacture the machine in a larg- CT size. Work was started about a year ago on the new size and it proved 10 Do just as successful as the original.

would rid the kitchen Of the ''Dtill."
 One of the most dangerous fea- lures of the bootlesging business is the transporting end, for the pen- alty is severe and the risk of cap ture and injury at the hands of the police who oftene shoot at speed ing cars. is ever present. In New Britain there are several suspected transporterS who have not been caught. but they have had some narrow escapes and undoubtedly owe their lives to the reluctance of policemen to fire except in self de- fensc. Only a short time ago, a po- liceman had q suspect cold as the saying is, but rather than injure him, he took the chance of catching him without the use of firearms and the bootlegger, by stroke of good fortune. disappeared into the darkness and was not overha uled.
 No Resentment Toward Police
 Strange as it may seem to those police and the bootleggers. many of the latter bear no ill will towards tho raidiug crew. their attitude be- ing one of preparedness al all times, but always expecting the worst. "1f you catch me. all right" remark the experienced crowd, but under their breath they assure themselves that trying 10 make a catch and actually making it are not the same, In a recent police court case. testimony was given by police officer that on several visits 10 a certain store, he warned the proprietor that there were indications about the premises that liuuor was on sale. despite his inability to find it. and the propri- stor, while always denying that h" had any connection with the rum game. never displayed the slightest resentment at the frequent tn- spection of this officer and others. Not all in the business are of this complex. however. some of them af- fccting the demeanor Of persecuted martyrs, and conforming not only the particular officers who make the raids. but everyone in the po- lice service and all their relatives. Needless to say. the police never register sorrow when "the goods arc found on those of this ilk,
 As in every other business. pro- fession or whatever rum-running may be classified as. there exists more than a little jealousy among the operators. in fact the little green serpent has been known to cause a great deal of harm 10 those who could be well off financially if they were not avaricious. "Why do you bother me? Why not get so-aud- so. i" whine the self-styled martyrs. and the policemen with experience lend sympathetic ear. finding out all they can about the activities of ''so- and-so.' In a day or two. or prob- ably a week or month, the we'll laid plans go into execution and the quarry is caught. Much information Of inc sort that is most difficult to obtain has come to the police in this way. for nobody knows more about a rum-runner than does another in he same game.

Perpetual Warfare Be- tween Law and Lawless
 Reveals Cunning Con- trivances to Hide Stocks.

The eternal chase after the boot legger which the New Britain po- lice department instituted shortly after prohibition became a theoreti- cal actualjty. if not a practical and complete shut down on the manu- facture and distribution of liquor. has uncovered a higher degree Of resourcefulncss among violators of the law in this city than the en- torcemcnt of any other constitution al amendment, state statute Or city ordinance. In the opinion of the authorities having the liquor law en- 1orcement problem in charge, there is unquestionably a long road ahead before the turn. if there is to be a turn. makes itself apparent in the form of a revision Of the act. and they are always scheming to stiffen their opposition and mancuVering their forces to head off the new moves instituted by the element en- gagged in running rum. To the out siler, the work of catching the car- riers of illicit liquor should be easy, but the police know through eNperi- cnce that there are many phases Of inc task which seem to become more puzzlng and increasingly difficult as the battle moves forward.
 Fol- Police Temporarily
 There are places in New Britain having the reputation of rum joints" which raiding squads visited time after time before meeting with success, yet it was apparent for months that men of drinking habits were satisfying their thirst by day and night and the proprietors were charging good prices for the liquor Through systems Of watchers from points of vantage, the places were shielded at critical moments. leaving no evidence for the police when they sNOoped down. In many cases. successful raids were not made until ''agents' were engaged. and even then the task was difficult.
 Containers of liquor have been round in cellars, coal bins. lumber piles, chicken coops, barns, attics. bathrooms, under beds in false coil- ings and floors. and hundreds of other hiding places which could not be uncovered except through the 1nost painstaking search Small faucets covered by boards so care- fully laid that even experienced wood workers might overlook their purpose have been ripped out Of walls and cellar ceilings, and in at least one pool room, the outlet was 1ound in the ball rack on the wall Elaborate piping arrangements from 'anks 10 outlets have been used to deceive scarchers with som. success, Nnt it appears of late that experl- "nce has taught the offenders that 1t is safer to have only small amount o' the liquor on hand so that it might be more easily thrown away on the approach of the police.
 "Stilis" in Tcnemcnts
 The battle has not been entirely one-sided, however. and a number

On account of the increased husi. hess the new concern found itself crowded and it was necessary 10 cN- pand the plant. Business has con tlnued rapidly during the past year and the officials Of the company state that it will be necessary to increase facilities again in the near future. The chucking machine turn rd out by the company is used eA- tensiNcly in the automobile and rail- road fields and in the production Of valves, plumbing supplies. electrical goods and hardware. The machine can be used for roaming. turning and boring on castings and forgings
 All the early makes Of this ma chine were hard to set up and the big feature Of the kensington con. ccrn's machine is that it can be as easily set up for 900 pieces as for 10000 or any other amount.
 It is the intention Of the company to have 3 complete line Of chuckng machines and to continue to add steadily 10 it's production as time goes on. Although this program will add 10 the line it will not effect the present types produced by the com pany.

Sharp Wits Challenge Police
 to Discover Liquor Hideaways

Of comparatively easy arrests have been made in the past few years. Police have walked into tenements and found stills in operation. with nothing to prevent immediate con- fiscation of mash, liquor and the complete outfit. Inexperienced trans porters. too have fallen into the Het Tn some instances with such slight chance Of escape that the police themselves were surprised. Back and forth. by night and by day. the fight is carried on, the representa- tives Of the law watching with trained eyes for sagging springs or automobiles which betray heavy loads and checking up On every sus- nicious appearing automobile or per son driving through the streets, while the gangs whose livelihood de bends on their success in transport
 ing liquor through city and town, drive on with increased dotermina- ton, tempting fate after first and second convictions, their minds fo- cussed on the "big money" beyond the law.

Ex- pecting 10 accumulate riches by selling a poor grade of moonshine liquor in their own kitchens, some housewives in New Britain have learned that it is necessary to take in a great many 25 cent pieces to match a sl00 fine. and the police have observed. not without some satisfaction. too, that the imbibers in certain neighborhoods turned their steps Tn other directions after the first raid. for no other reason than the absence of the ''grog" where once it flowed.
