RESPONDING TO CALI
Encouraging Reports Received Con-
cerning Homes and Boarding Places
for Employees of Steel Plant.

Encouraging reports are beng
received concerning the securing OF
homes and boarding houses for the
men who are expected in the city to
whom employment will be given at
The big plant CT the Washington Steel
and Ordnance Company across the
Potomac river.
Secretary Preston of the Chamber
Of Commerce said this morning that
he believed that sufficient number
of places will be found by Monday
morning to care for n least hun
dred or possibly hundred and fifty.
A few of the men arrived here yes
terday and were promptly given posi-
tions at the steel plant and afterward
located in boarding hcGses in Alex
andria, and yet the work has only
just started.
Advertisements are being mailed to
twenty-five newspapers calling for
five hundred men which it is hoped
may bring good results. Should more
be obtained than are needed at the
steel plant, several of the industries
in this city will be glad to furnish
work for them. Much difficulty has
been experienced by the Mutual Ice
Company, the Alexandria Fertilizer
and Chemical Company, the railroad
companies and others in the locality
to secure sufficient number of men
to properly handle their business, and
it is said that there is not likely to
be any lack in the way of work for
all who may want it for long time
to come in this vicinity. Boys have
been given places at the Potomac
yards and also at the Mutual Ice
Company's plant, during the past
two months, because it has been inn
possible to obtain mon, notwithstand-
ing the fact that unusually high
wages have been offered.

and instead of making trips to mar

was the case this morning, purchase
all they need for their larders in
their neighborhoods.
Country people were holding but

They were also offering eggs at the
