Plant -Four May Go Elsewhere

Since the middle of July there have
been rumors that the increasing or
ders for smokeless powder received by
the DUPONT Powder Company would
warrant the erection of a fourth
plant. Plant No. l has been i%ncreas-
ed to turn out between $50 and 200
tons a day, but probably half is not
for war purposes. Plant No. 2 will
urn out probably 100 to 125 tons a
day. of powder mostly for large field
guns. Plant No. 8 in a few weeks
will probably be turning out from 90
TO 70 tons of powder a day.
These quantities seem large, but
the whole amount is exploded in a
few minutes by a large army.
One of the objections to further en-
larging the plants on Carney and
Deep Water Points is the difficulty OF
having enough help with suitable ac-
commodations for living. Only a few
capitalists build or loan because they
are wary of what may happen when
the war closes. Few workmen who
get big wages do not build for the
same reason and they do not know
how long they will hold their posi-
ton. While many now come from
Wilmington on the hourly trips Of the
ferry boats. the river is likely to be
closed next winter. The duPonts have
had erected hundreds of dwellings;
they are OF the ~ready-made seashore
co e order and shacks of a tenn
porary construction. Their profits
Will warrant their abandonment in
a few years.
There was a rumor that a new
plant might be located above Penns
Grove. but the problem for labor re-
quires it to be located with easier
travel.
The latest rumor is that Plant No.
( will be erected on the north side OF
Rancocas Creek, between Delanco and
Bridgeport. About 600 acres of up
land and meadow have been bought
of George Russ and others and more
than 400 houses will be erected.
This location will be of easy access
for workmen from Philadelphia, Cam
den and other towns along the Della
ware River.
If a powder plant be erected on
this it will probably be utilized for
other manufacturing purposes after
the war is ended.

DUPONT DOINGS
What The Powder Officials and Work
men are Doing

Some hundreds Of young men are quit

Pay day was last Tuesday. following
which tie usual number of mental and
moral derelicts did not return to work
because they had to sqnander their pay.
One foreman Of 200 reports that he usual
ly needs % new men after pay day an
other foreman Of 500, usually needs be-
tween so and 90 new men. Three mea
are carried at mann machines wnere two
are needed, because a force OF learners
have to be kept to fill the vacancies made
by those who do not return after pay day.

After the close OF the afternoon session

per at the country club for the visitors.
DR.. Anna Howerd Shaw spoke in che
evening to a large aud appreclative andl-
ence. Among her remarks DIR. Shaw
said, Suffrage is q subject winch is so
much a part of our National life, that no
one can offer any reasonable objection to
it. What principles of democracy ale
violated when you extend suffrage to
women? | can understand q man of in
ferior mind being opposed to suffrage. |
am like Ingersoil. Whenever | hear a
man say women are inferior, l think his
brain is not good argument to put against
it. Can yon expect an inferior creature
like woman to bring forth a superior
creature as mani"
"We are simply asking this country to
live up to its principles. The only thing
we ask for is a republic is be a republic to
be a republic. We are All aristocracy and
not a republic, because only part of the
people are represented. We are asked,
If women vote will they 6glt?' No, we
don't want the ballot to fight. We want
it to keep men from fighting"
