ARSENAL ACTIVITY,
Community Getting Full Benefit
Of the Rush Of War
Work Now.
ARMY OF MEN EMPLOYED THERE.

Fifteen Hundred Infantry Equipments
Makers Put on and. the Hum OF
Industry Is Generally Felt Throughout
the Shops.
Rock Island arsenal is now realizing
the full force of the rush of work in
army equipments for the Impending
war. and the community contiguous
to the greatest arsenal in the country
is feeling the advantage and benefit Of
the possession of such an industry in
its midst. The latest orders received
by Capt. S. E. Blunt are that he
make or procure" articles of infantry
equipment at the rate of 1000 COM
plete outfits day. All of the de-
partments are working full blast. the
average daily output of the shops be-
ing six and eight car loads of COM
pleted articles. In the matter of fur
nishing infantry equipments the diff
Guilty encountered was in the furnish
ing of the haversacks and the blanket
bags. These are made of heavy can
vass and the greater portion of the
work done is sewing machine work,
and it will require too much time to
install the required number of ma
chimes to turn it out. Before the
rush orders came the shops con.
tanned Ii sewing machines, but the
number has been increased to Sc.
These Sc machines. running 20 hours
a day. are capable of turning out SOC
of these bags, so that it can be seen
that in order to turn out the entire
number required daily. of both haver.
sacks and blanket bags, it would re.
quire many times the number of ma.
chimes they now have. Hence Capt
Blunt will be obliged to let some out.
side contracts on this work.
The proposals for contracts specify
that contracts will he made for 80. 00(
of each, haversacks aud blanket bags
or CO. 900 in all, and these proposal,
have been sent to every firm or indi
vidual in this part ofthe country thai
gets out such work.
Many men are being taken on a
the arsenal daily. There is not a da,
that new men are not taken on il
some of the departments. About II
harnessmakers have been put to worl
on the second floor of shop &. Their
is plenty of room for more there, an,
the floor has been fitted up for
large force, and men will be taken ol
right along up to 200 more, if it i
possible to get them, in this depart
ment.

An Army of Men There.

The number of men employed at
the arsenal now is almost LOO.
nearly twice the force ordinarily en-
rolled there. and more are being put
on daily. If the full capacity of the
arsenal is to be tested, Capt. Blunt is
determined that it shall not fall short
of the estimates the ordnance depart
ment places upon it, or of the idea
the people of the three cities in their
Just pride entertain for it. Rock Isl
and arsenal, with all that it is to this
community in times of peace, will
not be found wanting when war
makes eXactions upon it.

NEW YORK-The uncomforta BILE
weather conditions had a disheartening
effect on trade in the local stores In the
dry goods market. The mail orders
were OF fair size, however, and served
to keep sellers keyed up. The demand
for cottons Is still restricted in all
grades. Print cloths continue firm at
Fall River. Bids for extras at . 3-1sc
are steadily refused. Odd goods are firm
on basis of extras o. perhaps slightly
better. In prints there is no change OF
moment
