the numbers that can be taken care
of. 1t was pointed out that the
of arsenal workers are
highly skilled and were gathered
from all parts Of the country in
order to get out the fine work and
boost production needed in winning
the war. In many cases these men
are said to have sold their homes
and come here on promises that
there would be work after the war.
II is said that local factories have
not the class OF work that would
invite any appreciable number of
arsenal skilled workers. and that
the tri-cities stand to face, an ex-
odus that will vitality affect real
estate and other values.
