OPERATIONS CEASE AT
SOUTHERN MACHINE WKS.
BIG PLANT CLOSED DOWN
FRIDAY.
Coating of, Grease Being
Spread Over Lathes to
Prevent Rust.

Operations at the Southern Ma
chine works ceased at 2:30 Friday
afternoon when the contract from the
war department for 6-inch shells was
completed. The shutdown was very
gradual. For the past few weeks the
force has been steadily reduced until
on the last day of operation there
was only a mere handful of workers
left in the big shops. At one time
there were approximately 200 men
employed at the shell factory, more
than n thousand of whom were
skilled mechanics. As soon as the
definite information was received
that the war contract under which
the plant has been operating for the
past several months was ended. the
men were notified exactly how mat
ters stood and were urged to seek
work elsewhere to avoid a loss Of
time. The men were assisted by the
company in securing work. Many of
the mechanics and laborers took ad-
vantage of the opportunity and the
shifts were gradually thinned out
and the machines were gradually
shut down.
The plant has been running night
and day since it was started last
August. Three eight-hour shifts were
used. The plant is one of the largest
Of its kind in the south and was
erected and equipped solely for the
production OF 6-inch shells.
In the shop are some 300 lathes
and other machines necessary in the
process OF shell production of the
very latest and most approved type.
In the shop Saturday morning a crew
OF about twenty-five negroes was
engaged in smearing a coating OF
heavy oil over the machinery to pre-
vent It from rusting. Manager Lotion,
who has just returned from a busi-
ness trip TO New York, stated that
the company had no plans for the
future. For the time being at least,
the machines. covered with their coat
of grease, will remain in the deserted
shop.
Upon leaving the employ of the
each employe was given a
certificate, together with a small
medal to certify that he had been
engaged in the vital work of NUM-
tions manufacture and had done his
bit toward the winning of the war.
The certificate bears the companys
seal and the signatures OF the general
manager and secretary. The wording
is a follows:
Greetings: This Is TO certify that
(name of employe) has been engaged
in war work for this company in
executing war order g 1S711021 a.
100000 6-inch gun shells
for the war department. u. $. A. and

Southampton, Feb. ia. P)-
All the troops aboard the Ameri can
transport Narragansett, which ran
ashore last night on the ledge off
Bembridge at the eastern end of the
Isle Of Wight, have been removed by
tugs and local life boats. The re-
moval was effected while the
steamer held fast on the ledge, de-
spite the snow storm and high seas
that prevailed.
Heavy Sea Running.
London, Feb. la. P.--The
American transport Narragansett---
Havre to Southampton, is ashore at
Bembridge Point, on the extreme
eastern end of the Isle Of Wight. A
train ferry is standing by to receive
the troops. IL necessary. Tug assis-
tance is being sent from Portsmouth
and Southampton.
Radio calls brought life boats and
tugs which are now taking off the
troops, which are reported to num-
ber about 1000.
The ship Is high in rocks, a heavy
sea is running and 1t is showing. but
1t Is believed that the men on board
the Narragansett are not in danger.
Reports received at American
army headquarters here this forenoon
say that the Narragansett Is aground
about two miles below Southampton
and is in no danger. 1t Is expected
she will be floated without difficulty.
The American transport was loaned
to the British to bring across the
channel troops who have been given
leaves. There were almost 1000 on
board, among whom were sixty
Americans who were coming to Eng
land on leave.
Reports from other sources agree
that the vessel first struck off the
Isle Of Wight. American army head
quarters has not been informed. but
1t Is possible that the ship came into
the river below Southampton after
striking outside during the night.
The Narragansett is undamaged.
according to latest reports received
by American army headquarters, and
1t Is expected that she will be fioated
at the next high tide.
The reports show that the sixty
American soldiers on board, after
landing at Southampton from a res
cuing craft, proceeded toward LON

believed there will be much difficulty
in floating her when the tide rises.
