The Manufacturers News, official
organ of Illinois Manufacturers
assn, says this week that what Swift

stated:
"Other employers intend to follow
the example of Swift & Co. A large
downstate agricultural implement
factory is securing data preliminary
to organizing military companies
among its employees. The manufac-
tureTs are patriotic. They are graf.
flied when their men join the state
militia. Many of the owners and eX-
ecutives of manufacturing plants are
in the national guard regiments. Last
summer many leading industries
throughout the state sent some of
their best men to the military en-
campment at Fort Sheridan. Felt &
