Allentown, Pa, Dec. 11.-Unless the
State Department comes to the rescue
and succeeds in getting Great Britain
to modify its embargo on dyestuffs,
silk mills and dying plants in this city
and vicinity will be forced to shut
down within the next six or eight
weeks.
Allentown stands second to Pater-

silks and upwards of 10000 persons
are employed in its manufacture. The
dyeing industries in the same terri
tory employ about 5000 hands, who,
too, will be forced into idleness.
Managers in local manufacturing
plants using dyestuffs, although they
know the seriousness of the dye situa-
ton said this afternoon that they do
not expect to shut down at present
despite the shortage in the product.
About 500 persons are employed in
Harrisburg plants using dyes to any
great extent.
