canteen allowed, Congress authorized
an appropriation of half million dol
lars to establish amusement halls at
the army posts throughout the coun-

cent troubles the company has been sub
jected TO, as seemed to be the opinion in
this city on Saturday. When approached
regarding the matter this morning by an
Evening Journal reporter one Of the Of
ficers of the concern said:
There IS no connecuon Whatever in the
laying off of the men with the financial
troubles we have undergone. We have
been turning work out more rapidly than
ever before and It happened to be COM
pleted about the same time.
July has seen more boats sent from
the plant than ever before in its history.
Ships and cars followed one another in
rapid succession and those that are here
are almost finished while the work on
others IS not far enough advanced TO need
many men.
For the past nine months the force
has been much larger than ever before
and the payroll has averaged from S2l,0O
to $4,000 a week. A year ago tho norma
payroll was from $1,000 to $4,000.
There have been but about 200 mer
laid Off and they are joiners, iron work
ers ard painters. principally. AS soon az
the business merits it the men will be re
instated."
