employment TO many but it will be a
new industry for our town. At pres
ent the Scherr Manufacturing Company
operates the largest skirt manufacture
ing concern in the South, where they
crate more than one hundred cleo
trical machines and give employment
TO over three hundred people.
They have been here for twelve years
in the manufacturing business and
have as their customers all of the larg-
est stores in the city of New Orleans.
The Scherr Manufacturing Company
is also the owner of the Economy Com
pany, which is a retail establishment
located at 1920 Dryades street, under
the management of a member of the
firm, w. A. Bloom, who has made big
success of this business.
In speaking of Algiers as an ideal To-
cation for the Scherr Manufacturing
Company, Mr.. Bloom says that with a
location only a short distance from the
ferry I'VE would be able to deliver
promptly to the large dry goods stores
in the city in only few minutes time,
which is quite an advantage to us. Our
special order department will no doubt
also be operated on the Algiers side of
the river, where skirts will be made
for special orders" Mr.. Bloom also
states that everything is in readiness
for the establishment of the plant and
the only thing they are waiting on now
is the applications for positions so that
an organization of the force can be
made.
Options on several locations are in
hand and just which one will be select
ed will be matter of later detail. The
establishment of this factory gives an
opportunity to many Of our young wom-
en- to learn trade, especially to those
who have not had an opportunity of an
advanced schooling and who are de.
] pendent entirely upon work for their
livelihood. We do not feel that there
is any doubt but what Algiers can fur.

ees for factory of this kind and we
want to say to our subscribers. IF you
want to help boost the town. help send
in as many applications as possible so
that the town will not fall down on its
part of the obligation"
This firm does not come here as many
others have, asking for a certain
amount of shares of stock to be secured
before they would establish, but these
people do not want any mOneq. They
have sufficient amount to operate this
factory and only ask for employees for
their plant.

KOPPEL'S EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

Announcement was made Satur-
day that Representative G. H. Kop-
pei would again introduce the sta
tionary firemen's eight-hour bill at
the coming session of the General
Assembly. This measure passed
both houses of the Legislature at
the session of 1912, but owing to
certain provisions was later declared
unconstitutional by the courts. The
law was intended to give relief to
the stationary firemen throughout
the state who now work from ten to
twelve hours, and its passage at the
time was hailed with delight by la
Dor leaders as the forerunner of 9TH
er eight-hour measures. This was
the first bill ever passed in Louisiana
limiting the hours of a mans labor
to eight in twenty-four.
