officials are anxious to have the work

the large steel factories in the lAst
shows that the business in railroad
material is picking up, and the fact
that one company is purchasing heaV-

tion that others will follow its lead
In The event the Locomotive Works
begins operations on this contract it
does not mean that all OF the 1000 idle
workmen will be put to work at once,
but that the various departments will
resume operations in rotation. The
plant has a daily capacity OF ono loco

prosperity TO the local workmen.

The American Locomotive Company,
in addition TO the Richmond branch,
has another large plant in Schenec-
