FACTORIES WILL STAY
IN INDIANA GAS BELT
Generating System For Coal
Gas Will Be
Used.

Marion, Ind, April 6.-Thomas Ev-
ans, of the MacBeth-Eyans Glass COM
pany, which operates a factory here,
employing 1000 people, as well as
equally as large plant at Elwood
Toledo and Pittsburg, says that the
talk of the factories removing from
the gas belt. in the event of the failure
of natural gas. is folly. He says they
can operate here as cheaply with coal
gas as in any other place outside of
the gas belt, and to think that a con-
Germ which has thousands of dollars
invested in the present location would
tear up and move away is absurd. He
admits, however. that some of the

warrant consideration.
The factories that keep up the towns
are sure TO stay as they are able
financially to re-equip their plants with
coal-gaS- generating systems. Evans
says. although he considers the pros
poets good for natural gas in this sec
tion of the state for five years to come,
his company will prepare Immediately
to equip its factory here with the
coal-gas system, and thus be ready for
an emergency. The only thing that
would cause the factories in the gas
belt TO suspend operation, says Ev-
ans. would be the refusal of the rail
road companies to furnish reason
able rate on coal. This, he thinks, as
improbable. for the railroads are
anxious that the factories remain
where they are
