One of the directors remarked recently
that when the works were being erected
the matter of housing the workmen
seemed serious problem. There were
only few houses in sight, not enough
to accommodate a fourth. of the men that
would be needed to operate the works.
But by the time the plant was ready
for the fires many new dwellings had
been built and today the thousand en-
ployes find no difficulty in finding places
of residence. Notwithstanding the conf
plaint about labor shortage in the Bir-
mingham district, the Dimmick company
experiences little or no difficulty in keep
ing its large force together.
