that there would be a great falling off

the trouble with Mexico and Japan

LOCAL SHOPS In
!. OPERATION SOON
August l Will See Majority of
z-S Moline Manufacturing Con-
Germs at Work Again.
IDLE THROUGHOUT SUMMER
Many Employees to Secure Work and
Conditions viii Grow Better
in the Plow City.

Moline manufacturing concerns
which have been partially idle during
the summer will in all probability re-
sumo operations TO a great extent by
Aug. l, according TO information given
out today by certain officials. The
shops of numerous local factories have
been idle and thousands of men have
been out of employment the greater
part of the summer, but with the re-
sumption of active work again, condi-
tions will be improved. 1t is not
thought. however. that any of the
shops will run to their full capacity at
once, but at any rate thousands who
have been idle will again be able to
take up their occupation. In East Mo-
line none OF the manufacturing plants
has closed at all, and most of them
are running at full blast.
Large Plants to Open.
s'he two largest of Moline's plants,
the Moline Pillow company and the
John Deere company, will probably
open the latter part of this month, &C
cording TO word given out by officials
this morning. Neither of these con-
Germs has been running their shops TO
2 great extent during the past couple
Of months, and the resuminS of work
will mean the employment of a large
number of men by these two big firms
alone. No definite date has been set
yet for the opening of any of the shops
but i is understood that it will not be
2 later than Aug. l TO >.
Two Departments Resume.

plant resumed work Monday. 1t was
said at the plant today that other de
partments would resume gradually and
that probably the entire force would
be going by Aug. l.
At Williams & White, all depart
ments are in operation, although not
at full capacity. The machine shop
is working five days a week and eight
r. hours a day. and the foundry is work
ing four full days a week All depart
ments at the Moline Wagon company
are also in active operation. At the
L. NJ Sechler Implement & Wagon
company it is stated that the plant is
nc. operating at present at anything
Ike its normal capacity, but that it is
expected conditions Will be SO improv-
G ed by Aug. ! that all departments will
again be working, with the excep
ton of the carriage department. The
Barnard & Leas plant is one of the
few which has been running at full ca
pacity Throughout the entire summer
months, and will continue to do so.
Harvester Company Rushed.
In East Moline, the Deere Harvester
. company is having a hard time turning
out work fast enough and as a result
is running a. its fullest capacity. The
work of filling orders keeps the entire
plant in a rush and conditions have
cbesn in no way lax for some time
All departments of the Marseilles
plant of that city are also working and
2 the entire plant is operating at full ca
=pacity, while the Union AIalleable is
running all departments, but Tot at
capacity.
