Work at the quarries of the Standard
Lime and Stone Company at Millville is
becoming slack. Frequent shutdowns
have been occurring all of the spring, and
during the latter part of the winter. On
Friday last work was suspended in two
of the three quarries in operation there,
and thirty men left in body to seek
work elsewhere. Workmen have been
leaving in small groups ever since the
shutdown periods started during the past
winter. Local conditions, however, are
little disturbed by the suspension ofwork,
as most of the laborerS there are Italians.

built it up to high standard. 1t is one

newspaper man OF experience and ability,
