the angel. So they went below and

within the next two or three months.
Work on the mills has been pushed
energetically, and at present about
1900 men are employed: Already
about dozen buildings are complet-
ed, the electric light plant, said to be
one of the finest in the world, is in
stalled, and the stand.pipe, 100 feet
high, is up. There are ten or twelve
other buildings well along toward
completion. Altogether thegroup of
buildings will number twenty.four or
twenty-five with a capacity of 2OO0
pounds of smokeless powder daily.
This daily output seems large at first
thought, but one OF the big 13.inch
guns of the Indiana uses 1000 pounds
of powder at single shot.

startling figures. He said the

reduce the pay Of 25, 600 who
would keep their jobs, which
would mean loss to the men in

ed trusts, and read a list showing
the absurdity of the claim that
the general tendency Of trusts
was to lower prices. This list,
which was obtained from drum
mers recently in the trades nam
ed, shows the following increas-
es in price directly traceable to
trust control: Iron Pipe, 100 per
