S. to Belgian Govern- ment Will Probably Be Used to Carry On Work : After being closed for nearly two months, the Hopkins & Allen Arms company’s plant wili be opened again within four to six weeks, according to a statement made by an official of the company on Monday evening. It was further stated that the Bel- gian government had negotiated a $2.- 500,000 loan from the United States and in all probabillty this money would be used in completing the con- tract for 150,000 rifles, 11,000 of which had been delivered up to the time that the plant closed its doors. The affairs of the company are at present in the hands of three receivers, Bdwin W. Higgine and Leon J. Garcey, both of Norwich, and Lewis D. Parker of Hartford. It was not stated whether the company would be run under the receivers or another organization, as decision has not yet been handed down by the United States court. ‘The machinery at the plant has been packed in oil during the time that it has remained idle and it will take some time to set it up, as in all prob- ability many chang-s will be made. The barrel room of the shop has not been entirely closed with the other departments, as a few men have been employed there right along. On Monday 25 toolmakers were hired at the plant and it is expected that other departments will soon be ensag- ing men. The completion of the rifle contract {will be the momentary work, after which it is expected that the manu- facture of the Berthier machine gun wili be taken up at the factory.
