'} McGibbon, a metal expert Who has besn making his home in Plainville for meveral months, was ordered to- day to proceéd tonight to Ontario, where he is to become assistant to the Catadin administrator in connection With the manufacture of munitions for the British government. He does nat expect to have to return to Con- necticut, the Bristol company having finished all its ‘contracts -with the warring powers, According to Mr. McGibbon the only contract from Europeah govern- ments which the Bristol company has |/ yet to finfsh is an order fram Hollan more half of which has completed. More than four hundred thousand pounds of brass are at the factory ready for shipment to the Netherlands. - While a British subject and affili- ated with the Canadian board of munitions, Mr. McGibban worked here in the interests of the Russian and French governments,’ both of which had orders for brass with the Bristol company. His services were loaned to Great Britain’s allies a short time after the war started and he has since been oversesing - work done under contracts which they made. He has beeri here for seven months. Mr. McGibbon is recognized as one of the best metal experts in Canada. He is an authority on metal mixtures and is the author of & book on the market and it is expected that it will have a big demand among industrial workers. 5 Unless -there is a decided change in conditions, Mr. McGibban now expects Great Britain and her colonies will be able to supply a great part of the munitions it requires and shoulll the United States enter the war,” fac- _tories in this country will be able to turn out the materials needed by Uncle Sam. In Ontario, the Canadian government now operates five large mills, which are devated exclusively to the manufacture of munitions or accoutrements for the soldiers.

To Vote on Merger. N Stockholders in the Marlin Arms and the Standard Roller Bearing com- panies and the Rockwell Drake cor- poration will; be permitted to vote to- morrow on the big merger recently arranged by the directors of the con- cerns. The combination will be sub- mitted to them for approval, a move which is but a formality, the direct- ors having control of enough shares to give them the necessary authority. Among the matters to be considered at the meeting will be a fifteen year contract with A. F. Rockwell of Bris- tol, as president of the merged comi- panies, the probable selection of a new name for the concern, and the granting of permission to make long term agreements with other men who will be asked to serve in an officiat capacity. The shareholders will also be requested to set aside = certain number of certificates . representing stock for them. After the formalities of organizing are complied with the directors will consider the matter of selecting a lo- cation for the main plant and the ex- pectations are that Plainville will be named.

Washington, March 12.—Denial that the United Shoe Machinery com- pany of Boston and its: subsidiaries illegally monopolized the shoe ‘ma- chinery business, is made in briefs filed today with the supreme court by the company in the federal , govern- ment’s dissolution suit begun in 1911. They ask the court to afirm Massa- chusett’s decree dismissing the fed- eral prosecution. The case is to come up for argument next week. Such monopoly in the shoe machinery bus- iness as the combination enjoys, the defendant’s briefs assert, is. legally had ‘under patents on the machinery from the government. Competitors, it is declared, are free to enter the field undeg their own patents. The “tying leases,” under which the combination leases its machinery, also are defended as legal and - bene- ficial to the industry. The briefs say that machinery prices have in many cases, been low- ered, no competitors have been driv- en from the industry; no - excessive profits have been made and no intent to monopolize the Industry or resort to unfhir trade prices have been proved. The government's charges, it is asserted, were made ‘‘recklessly and without foundation.” ————— i CAN'T FIND DANDRUFF Every bit of dandruff disappears af- ter one or two applications of Dander- ine rubbed well into the scalp with the finger tips.
