England May ''scrap''
$50, 600, 900 ar Plant
Huge Chemical Establishment
at Cretna Not Suitable for
Peace Industry

GRETNA, England, Jan. . (Corrc-
spondence of The Associated press).
With the ending of hostlities the
British government has on It's hands
unused a S5O,OOO,O00 military chemical
plant, the most important in the en-
pire, employing during thc war 1000
persons. Apparently the govcrnmcn mt
is undecided whether to try to utilize
it or to abandon it. Economists say it
is too inaccessible for private CONNER
cial use and that its plant and machln-
cry should be scraped and the govern
ment should pocket the loss.
The workers are rapidly being de-
mobilzcd and the population of Gretna
has shrunk to 5000. Recruited as they
were from almost every branch of in
dustry, many Of them unskjllcd and
inexperienced the absorption Of these
workers into the new economic order
is giving no little concern to the gov
ernment and to themselves, for eco
nomically Great Britain has not yet
recovered hev balance.
The unemployed munition workers
and Grctna is only one government &C
tivity Of many similarly affected are
taking the unemployment wage pro-
vided by the government, and are max
ing the most Of it. AS this wage is
much less .han they received while
making shot and shell being about
$3.50 a week, there arc fears they will
soon miss their high wages and in time
may become the cause Of industrial un-
rest Some time must elapse while
military plants arc being transformed
into factories that viii produce the
things ncedful in ordinary life.
The factory has wonderful housing
system. with comfortable homes. re-
creation halls and churches for the
workers and in ordinary circumstances
it ought to be useful for many years
to come. But the highly explosive ma
tdre Of the product nccessltated the
planting of the industry outside the
ordinary walks Of commerce and man
ufacturc This makes it reasonably
certain in the minds of economists that
Gretna win hive 10 be abandoned.
