NEW. BRiTAIN DAILY HERALD, BALDWIN WORKS . TAKES WAR ORDER Will F@nish $40,000,000 Contract for Eddystone Company New Yor 21.—The story of many troubles experienced by a group of bankers with a huge contract for * “shrapnel for the Russlan government has come to light in the information that the Eddystone Ammunition Cor- poration had turned over to the Bald- win Locomotive Works a $40,000,000 order for shells. The bankers, it was learned, were 1 to forego the ex- pected profits in view of the mental relief they would get from the trans- f&r and the certainty that they would not lose any money. The contract was obtained by the Eddystone Company more than a year agg, but so many delays occurred in the factories that the first completed shells were not shipped until about six weeks ago. The Eddystone Ammunition Corpo- ration was formed with a nominal Sept. capital of $50,000 and several factory baildir completed and under con- uction, by the Baldwin Works at Bddystone, Penn., were leased. . M; Vauclain, vice president of the Bhldwin Company, was elected head 9f the new corporation and an agree- ment was made with the Baldwin ympany covering the payment to the latter of a stated sum for the lease of the buildings and land and algo for each sum turned out. An arfangement of a similar nature was made by the Baldwin management with the Remington Arms company of Delaware, which also leased buildings for the manufacture of 3,000,000 rifles for Russia. The bankers holding the bulk of the Eddystone Corporation’s stock accord- ng to particulars learned in the finan- ctal, district executed a composite bond for $10,000,000, divided in proportion to,their stock holdings and obligated themselves to furnish stflicient funds to carry the contract through. The prder was placed through J. P. Mor- lgan & Co. The Eddystone Corporation met with difficulties almost from the start | of the work. The Rus govern- ment, it is said, ordered numerous changes in the shell specifications, and inspections were so rigid that deliv- eries of finished shells were held back ay after da: The delays told on the patience of he bankers and, finally, when Russia sought a further bond to cover the ompletion of the order the stockhold- rs decided to abandon the task. The JRussian officials consented to the ranfer of the contract when it was ade clear that deliveries would be hecelerated. The Baldwin Works ad.done much shell work for the British government and had an ample orce of trained workers. The de- fails of the agreement provide that he Eddystone Corporation sharehold- Prs shall get back all the money they nvdsted in the plant and material ith interest, and shall be relieved rom their obligations under the bond. The Baldwin Works takes over the ontract on a cost percentage basis. t Is reported that the original con- ract called for a percentage profit Pf 12 per cent. of the Eddystone orporation on the gross business, and is,assumed that the Baldwin man- gement takes over the order at ap- roximately the same figure. It is understand that the work will e continued iIn the Eddystone plant, xcept for such portion as the aldwin Works switch to its factories pr the sake of speeding up deliveries, large amount of raw and semi. nfshed material, including parts of ells, is represented by the work al- pady done.
