The Department of Justice men visited several local concerns as well as offices in Hartford, Meriden, Middletown and Bridgeport. It has been reported to government officials that there is a nationwide con- spiracy between - manufacturers and contractors. agents in Washington to solicit war orders from the govern- ment under some agreement whereby commissioners are to be illegally paid. As a result of this information, the Department of Justice made simul- hundreds of manu- facturing concerns throughout the United States in search for papers or other evidence which wauld tend to show the scope of this alleged illegal practice. No Trouble Expected Here. 1t Is extremely doubtful if the raids in this city will disclose any papers giving evidence of importance to the | federal authorities, as New Britain manufacturers who are engaged in war work——and practically every one is do- ing something along {his line been securing their contracts direct from the governmental departments and without the aid of any intermedi- ate agents. it is said. In addition to the Connecticut cities above named, raids were conducted vesterday ot the following places throughout the country: New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago.

Mr. Brittan began correspondence with Kohn in Bos- ton. Under the direction of the Depart- ment of Justice, Mr, Bittan took rooms at a hotel in where he arranged to meet Fleming Cavanaugh and Sullivan. A contract was drawn up in which it was agreed that Mr. Bittan was to jay the other parties five per cent. commission on the contract about to he ohtained and six per cent, on all subsequent con- tracts. They assured him that he would recelve a contract for 100,000 raincoats. In addition to the percent- age commission they demanded $500 in cash, which they said was to be paid to an officer in the Quarter- master’'s Corps. The men also said that they had men under their influence and pay, stationed in varlous purchasing de- partments of the government in Washington and could obtain con- tracts whenever the government was in the market. The $500 was paid by Mr, Bittan and the transaction com- pleted, Fleming, were arrested was arrested The search citles vesterday was papers of hundreds orations who have contractual relations with the government and who it is believed obtained their contracts throuzh con- tingent fee agents. A search also has heen made of the papers certain firms and corporations who act in the eapacity of contingent fee operators. The government has been aided in its arrangement of investigating the whole situation through Iloyal and patriotic manufacturers who volun- teered information. The government recently obtained the conviction of a contractor who had connived with an officer in the army to obtan a government contract. The contractor was sentenced to five vears in the penitentiary and the offi- cer was given a twenty year sentence by a court martial. There no intention to interfere with ligitimate relationships between manufacturers and the varions depart of the government over con- tracts, hut the manufacturer must deal directly with the departments and not through middlemen or agents employed on a contingent fee basfs.
