Senator Thinks Government
Would Be Justified in
Taking Over Plant

ator Gerald ?. Nye Rep.. N. d. Sun
day night said he thought the federal
government would be justified in tax
Ing over and operating the Colts Pa
tent Firearms company, Of Hartford

The chairman Of the senate muni-
tions investigation committee made
this statement after q meeting with
Francis p. Fenton, representative Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Daniel +. Hurley. chairman Of the
strike shop committee Of employees,
and members Of the committee.
Earlier he had advocated before
the old south forum . 100 per cent
tax on incomes Of more than $4,000
In time Of war as Q means Of ending
war.
The senator said ''after this con-
ference I see . larger and clearer
justification for the strike than I had
heretofore. To save better features
Of MIRA I sincerely hope the strikers
may prevail In their cause. To make
enforcement Of section Ia an effec-
tive enforcement ! think the gov
ernment would b justified In taking
over the Colts plants and operating
them. this In view Of the fact that
the plants are producing supplies
which. In m emergency, would be e..
sential to the government and to our
national security"
Nye said he would study certain
other features Of the strike when he
returned to Warrington wednesday,
but did not amplify his statement.
The strike at the Colt plant began
almost three weeks ago when en-
ployes claimed the company failed to
bargain collectively. A compromise
agreement, drawn by the national
labor board, Fenton said, has yet to
b accepted BY the Colt company.

So did the TIMES. See him run, -

The Trainer laughed. and said.
Don't worry. He is safe and sound.
That monkeys clever as can be,
as you will very shortly see" And
then the monkey held the sandwich
platter way uD high.
He wishes you to reach for one, "
the Trainer said. He thinks that's
fun" oh. it is too much work, :"

But Dotty grabbed a couple and

out, and stopped his dashing all
about. He put the platter down and
crawled right into Goldy's lap.
The TIMES then ate all they could
and Copy said. Gee, they were
good" The monkey then jumped
and ran off. He'd had dandy nap.
The whole bunch thanked the
trainer for the food, and then heard
Scouty roar, Here comes another
strange beast. It's leopard-ele-
plant"
The Trainer called it to his side,
and said. "A fine trick will be tried.
If Scouty holds my paper hoop,
you'll see a clever stunt"
Then Scouty took the hoop in
hand. The Trainer told him where
to stand, and shouted to the funny
beast, Come, you know what to
dol"
Then came a very nice surprise,
when right before the TIMES eyes,
the beast went tearing toward the
hoop, and promptly jumped right
through.
