NEW CASTLES BIG PLANT AGAIN
PARTIALLY CLOSES ON ACCOUNT
OF SLOW SUPPLIES.

The Delaware Iron Works closed
down in all departments except the cut
ting shops, Saturday, and as a result
about 325 men will have a weeks vaca-

from which iron is obtained in Penn
sylvania are not running and materia
must be obtained elsewhere.
