OPINIONS DIFFER

Am idea CT the differences OF opin.
ion concerning the order can be
gathered from n comparison OF the
statement of b. b. Williams of the
G. e G. Cooper Co. and |. NJ. Wolyer-
ton OF the Mt. Vernon Bridge Co. Mr..
Williams said that he holds the opin-
ion that the order does not affect
plants using industrial gas, oil or wa
ter power
I'VE have no official order on the
subject and cur first impression that
such is the case was supplemented
by the statements OF Administrators
Garfield in the evening papers Thurs
day said Mr.. Williams. and for
that reason we are still operating
the plant"
The Cooper company is at present
working almost exclusively upon gov
Crnmcnt work and Mr.. Williams said
Friday that he believed that the com
pany need have no fears that it might
be forced to close.
The opposite view OF the order was
taken by Mr.. Wolverton, who said
that he expected to be required to
suspend work AT the Bridge Co. S
plant upon all but one line OF work ,
which he said is exempt from the or
der.
go long as we have material for
this work and can keep more coming
in, we will be able to operate by do
ing this work and ii alcnc,' said Mr.
Wolverton.
ESSEX STILL OPERATING
Rex NJ Lamb CT the Essex Glass
Co. briefly summed up the situation
at the glass plant in the statement:
1--WE don't know where we stand.
The Essex company is continuing to
operate and will do so until definite
understanding is reached. If forced
to close, about 100 mon will be idle
and Mr.. Lamb said the company could
not afford to pay the men for the en-
forced idleness.
Il think the order is very drastic,
said Nh Lamb. "Of course, we are
more than likely uninformed concern
ing the reasons for the order having
been issued, but one would think that
an embargo on all freight except coal
would have had the desired effect up
on the supply as it would then be
moved ahead of all else and factories
must have material as well as fuel
with which to run, so il seems that
while the embargo was on, the Goa
could be moved and perhaps few
factories would have been forced tt
suspend as we'll"
