POWDER WORKERS
 SEEKING BONUSES
Dupont Family Differences Cause Founding of Similar Concern
 Larger Bonuses Are Offered.

Owing to the falling off in patron age of the DuPont Y. M. c. A. at City Point, Virginia, the office force has been curtailed and Frederick Bruemmer has left that branch of the plant and is spending a few days at his home here. MT. Bruemmer has been offered a position in another part of the works, but is undecided as yet whether he will accept or con- tinue in Y. M. c. A. work, obtaining ar appointment at the conference, which will be held at Silver Bay, New York, in August.
 The business of the DuPOnt Hope well plant has fallen off considerably, due to the competition of the plant at Mount Union, Penn, controlled by Colonel T. Coleman DuPont. He was originally connected with the Vir- ginia, concern, but family differences arose and he purchased the Aetna, Powder works in the Pennsylvania town. Felix DuPont is head of the HOpeWell works. Many workers are leaving the latter place because of the increased bonus offered by the newer concern, the last named giving fifty per cent. bonus, while the original plant has a twenty per cent. bonus.
 In the village where MT. Bruemmer was located, there was a population of 2,40O last fall, at the start of his duties. The population. is now but HOO and the Y. M. c. A. membership has fallen off accordingly. There is a feeling that the let-up is only tenn porary, for it is thought that the new concern will be unable to fill all the orders on it's books. Since April over $500 men are said to have left the town of Hopewell and journeyed to Mount Union
