TEMPORARY SHUT DOWN
ENDED AT ONE PLANT.
Standard Fireproofing Started up
Today Many of the Ken we're
Not [vsn Laid OFF.

One of the largest factories of the
Federal Clay Manufacturing Com
pany, the Standard Fireproofing plant,
reopened this morning after tenn
porary shutdown of two weeks.
About seventy five men returned to
work, this number forming a good
pert en- tage of the employees laid off at
this place.
Superintendent Kreischer, of this
plant, told News reporter this morn
ing that his department had reopened,
but that he could not say whether or
not the resumption of work would be
permanent. 1t is very probable,
no wever, that work at the plant will
not be suspended again, at least not
for any considerable time.
The shut down was merely a case of
over production, which has occurred
in many factories. None of the skilled
mechanics or higher salaried men
were laid off. 1t was simply the COM
mon laborers. mostly of foreign
nationality, who were thrown out of
work and the impression that was
spread abroad that the factories had
closed their doors indefinitely and
that the effect would be felt among
the merchants was misleading. ALI
the plants have plenty of orders and
as soon as there is some room in their
stock yards, it is expected they will
all resume.
