MATERIAL ARRIVING.

Material for the Anchor Ship
building Co. plant is arriving daily
and work is progressing. The crew
at the yards. has been smaller during
the past week for the reason that the
weather conditions were unfavorable,
and the material was slow in arriv-
ing. This condition had been i'm
proved and it is expected that the
present organization will be held in
tact. 1t would not be at all sur
prising if the company were compell-
ed to cut down its crew until bust
ness conditions become more settled.
