That changes are being contern-
plated at the plant Of the Hart 4
Cooley Mfg. Co, which will involve
an extension Of Its manufacturing
activities to two other cities. with
the turning over OF the New Britain
activities to the Hart & Hutchinson
Co.. became known today for tie
arst time publicly.
Although officials at the factory
decline tn discuss the sitsatsun ses
even comment upon 1t, 1t was learned
from an authentic source that one
official near the top was heard to
remark: Rather than be a misfor-
tune to New Britain, the change az
contemplated now, will help the
city" vi.
This statement was taken to mean
that the activities to be turned over
to the Hart & Hutchinson Co. will in
volve as wide il not wider scope
than the combined activities OF both
concerns at the present time. 1t will
not mean curtailment of employ
inent at either Of the plants, 1t is
generally understood.
The change involves the manu-
facture of some products now made
here, in a plant recently acquired at
Holland, Michy to which point the
company has gradually transferred
some of its local men, and to which
it plans to transfer others between
now and next June. The register
business. 1t is understood. will 60 to
the newly, acquired factory at
Nashau. N. H., while other products
will be or have been turned over to
the Hart & Hutchinson Co.
The reason for the change is said
to be for the purpose of permitting
the manufacture of products closer
to the market. The Nashau plant,
and the Hart & Hutchison Co. ire
expected to take care of the east
ern market, while the Michigan
plant is expected TO help business
in the west.
Officials of the factories involved
are reticcnt about the matter.
frankly declining to discuss the pro-
pcsed change in any way, except to
admit unofficially that the entire
plane still is subject to important
changes.
Logan E. Page, vice president of
the Hart & Hutchison Co., when
asked about the situation, simply
said he knew nothing about 1t, and
that Reuben c. Twichell, vice pres
idont of the Hart & Cooley plant,

NO MORE FOR COAST GUARD
Melons Department Responds 10
Inquiry Raised by Congress Con-
trOvcrsy Over Harris Proposal for
924 900 Prohibition Fund,

Washington, Feb. ~ R)-Thc
treasury has advised the house ap-
preparations committee that it could
use an additional $2,5OO.0O0 this
year In the enforcement of prohibi-
tion.
The estimate was sent to the
committee in response TO an inquiry
that developed in consideration of
the proposal Of Senator Harris Of
Georgia, to make an additional $24.-
900, 900 available Immediately. That
proposal now is awaiting action by
the senate since the refusal OF house
conferees to accept 1t.
For Dry Law and Customs
The treasury advised the commit
tee that the $2,500,00O could be
used to strengthen the prohibition
and customs bureaus.
Secretary Mellon said today that
the request for the additional ap-
preparation would be transmitted TO
the house through the budget bureau
In the ordinary course OF business.
When the Harris proposal first
was before the senate, Secretary
Mellon wrote to Chairman Warren
of the senate appropriations conf
mittee, that it would be inadvisable
to place lump sum of such char
acter in the hands of any one per-
son without plan for allocating it..
In asking for appropriations for
the agencies involved in prohibition
enforcement. the treasury this year
cut the amounts SO as to bring them
near the sums allotted by congress
last year. This gave s13,5o0.0o0 to
the prohibition bureau and s19.-
10000 to the customs service.
In transmitting the request for
additional funds the treasury did
not ask for more money for the
coast guard service. believing that
that branch was amply provided for
in appropriations already authorized.
More Agents Planned
Of the se,500.0o0 the prohibition
bureau would be allotted approxi-
mately s1.5oo,ooo. This money
would be Bsed, Commissioner Doran
said, chiefly in the employment of
additional agents, who will be dis
tributed throughout the service.
f. W. Camp, commissioner of GUS
toms, said that the additional funds
for his bureau would be used in
doubling the number Of agents now
patrolling the Canadian border and
for a slight increase in the number
Of inspectors in the port of New
York
