CITY MOROCCO WORKERS
MAY Benefit BY WAR

co plants here will soon start work
on orders for export trade. This opin-
ION was strengthened recently by the
receipt Of an order by the Wilmington
Leather Company for a considerable
quantity of leather which is under
stood to be for one OF the nations
now at war. The order calls for
the best grade of leather.
Whether the material Is to be used
in lcggings, shoes or for saddles is
not known.

a rumor that all the local leather
plants had received similar orders.

Eleventh and Poplar streets, recently
started operations, it was -eported
that the company had received a
large contract This was denied to-
day by an official Of the company.
