BESSEMER SOIL PIPE WORKS SHUT DOWN Scarcity of Orders, Car Shortage and High Cost of Material Assigned
 as Reason

Bessemer, December 1o.-(Speclal.)-ol- ficial announcement has been made that the Bessemer Soil Pipe company has closed down for an indefinite length of time. throwing about 300 men out of em- ployment. The plant has been operating on less than half time for the past sev- eral months, owing to the scarcity of orr ders for soil pipe. Manager J. D. Half ner stated that the high cost of material, together with the car shortage, has greatly handicapped their business, and that he does not look for the resumption of operation until after the war, as build- ing and improvement trades all over the country are curtailing their efforts in ia vor of a greater production of war ma terials The employees will not be greatly inconvenienced, it is thought, as the de- mand for labor at present is great, and it is stated that they will be able to ind employment at once. The Bessemer Soli Pipe company is owned by the N O.. Nelson Co. of St. Louis, and it IS eX- pected that MT. Nelson will arrive in this city Wednesday to hold a confereEce With his employees.
