ASHLAND IRON FOUNDRY
HAS INDUSTRIAL FUT

The Ashland Iron Works have
been doing their bit towards helping
on the great war machinery to crush
the Hun, and during the past three
months this industry has been busy
at emergency fleet work. Thirteen
men have been engaged constructing
anchor windlasses, during which time
several of these machines have been
turned out, with more yet under
course of construction. Manager G.
w. Dodson states that he has placed
bids for several large contracts for
the building of capstans which he
hopes to obtain in a few days. On
account of the cancellation OF. large
numbers of wooden ships since the
signing of the armistice much of the
emergency fleet work has fallen off,
but it is expected that many contracts
will be reinstated, and that the Ash
land Foundry will get its share.
The name of the Ashland Iron
Works has also been placed on the
mailing list of the United States Ship
ping Board Emergency Fleet corpo-
ration, and they will receive copies
of all future inquiries for the con-
struction of steam anchor windlasses,
steam steerers, steam winches and
steam capstans. This foundry is in
the position to manufacture all or
ders for these materials, and will be
in line for bids on contracts.
Shortage of labor has been the
greatest drawback for the foundry
in its contract work during the past
summer. According to Manager
Dodson it has been practically i'm
possible to secure the required help
for the work already secured and the
foundry would be badly hampered II
the more extensive contracts had ar
rived earlier. The closing of the
war and the withdrawing of troops
from the various cantonments will
undoubtedly improve the labor stu
alton here as elsewhere, and the Ash
land Iron Works bid fair to become
an industrial factor in the city's fu-
ture.
