Unprecedented Expansion Planned by Standard Steel & Bearings Co. TO ADD 300 MORE HANDS
Three Months Extension Plan is Worked Out-israuit Leaves Fac ncsS-NIinistcrS' Assn to Meet.

The Standard Steel X Bearings company will make the first move in it's plan to materially increase it's working force within the next week. Two units will be added to the force which caHs for the hiring of between 100 and 15O new operatives. The en- tire plan for the next three months includes the addition of more than aG0 men to the pay roll with the fac tory running 24 hours a day.
 The plant has been working at top speed day and night for the past several months and is busiIy engaged in the manufacture of steel roller bearings. The only let down was during a short period when the con- cern was handicapped by 9 shortage of raw material, being unable to se cure shipments of steel from the western mills. At that time a few of the operatives were laid off but the company is hiring the men back in cases where they desire to return to work. Some of them have obtain,d employment elsewhere and the con- pany has been obliged to hire new men.
 It is said that the company has enough orders on hand at the local y day and night for several months. More orders are being received daily it is said and it is. possible that the corporation will have to broaden it's plans and increase it's working force to a greater extent than the present plans call for. It is reported that the company plans the erection of an- other factory building during the en- suing year.
