CUT IN FORCE AT ARSENAL
Necess'tated by Lack of Orders From,
Ordnance Department.

Lack of orders from the ordnance
department necessitated the dismissal
yesterday by Col. 5. F. Blunt of 50
machinists and six tinsmiths at Rock
Island arsenal. Anticipating the com
pIetion at this time of the last order
from the department Col. Blunt asked
FOR additional work. but the order that
he had expected would come TO this
arsenal was let out by contract to a
private firm in the east. Col. Blunt
states the outlook at the arsenal for
the present is not the most encourag-
ing for the immediate reinstatement
OF the men who have been laid off. and
ON the contrary he fears that turtle r
reductions in the force will have to be
made. unless the department comes to
the rescue at an early date with add
tional work.
