MANUFACTURERS MEET AT
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

South Bend and Mishawaka man
ufacturers will meet Friday after
noon in the cham Der of commerce
rooms in an effort 10 secure CON
certed action toward the solving of
the already acute labor shortage
which confronts two cities
According to several of the manu-
facturers the two cities can not even
now supply their industries with suf-
icient men TO run the plants to full
capacity. Outside manufacturers
are coming in to South Bend in an
effort to get men TO operate their
factories. The labor shortage is just
as serious in many Of the neighbor-
ing towns as il is in South Bend.
TT local concerns are to be supplied
with man power concerted action
must be taken TO make laboring
men want TO live in the two cities.
The meeting is called by the cham
Der of commerce to ind ways and
means whereby this condition may
be remedied.
Newspapers in other towns do not
take the advertisements Of local
manufacturers for men. This seri-
ously hampers any effort in this di-
rection.
1t is expected that practically all
of the heads of institutions in the
two cities, or their representatives,
will attend the meeting. which has
been announced for $3.50.

KIDNAPPING CASE MAY
GO UNTRIED OWING TO
SCARCITY OF JURYMEN
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
TOMBSTONE, Ariz Feb. o. -
When a new venire of 800 names
was drawn Thursday. for jury duty
in the trial of Harry +. WoOtton,
one Of the 21O defendants accused
of kidnapping in connection with
the Bisbee depOrtations Of 1917. at
torneys said it was likely most of the
cases never could go to trial for
lack OF jurors. Two venires of 500
men have been exhausted.
Court adjourned until Tuesday
with 1 tentative jurors in the box.
Lawyers said that because of the
great proportion of exemptions not
more than six cases could be tried
in this county through lack OF ju-
rOrs. Under Arizona laws, the state
cannot ask for a change OF venue
to another county, this right exist
ing only with the defense. If the
defense demands separate trials for
all the accused, juries could not be
obtained. lawyers said. and more
than 200 defendants automatically
would go free. or their cases remain
on the criminal calendar untried.

BIGGER POST0FFICE

Of these plants which is now in
progress.
Relief for this temporary condition
can be obtained through bringing
the situation to the attention Of the
postoffce department, it is said. but
only by legislation can an office be
established adequate 10 the needs
of the future South Bend.
Built Is years Ago.
The present south Bend office was
built 10 years ago when the city had
a population of approximately So
600 persons. No such revolutionary
expansion as the parcel post system
was looked for or provided for In the
present building. The increase in
business in this department alone
was estimated at 90 per cent for the
past year.
Since its erection the building has
been remodeled twice to take care of
the growth of the city which in the
16 years has increased to approx
mately 10000.
While pOstoffice officials state that
the present office and force can take
care of the immediate business it is
admitted that the presen business
taxes the facilities TO the maximum
and that the growth of the city
which is an absolute certainty will
find the office totally inadequate TO
handle the increase.
Similar To Akron.
1--WE are facing another case such
as that of Akron, O., stated a man
who has investigated and is thor
oughly conversant with the situation.
Akron with the development of the
rubber industry and war plants grew
enormously during the war and the
growth is continuing. The postoffce
there was built to handle the bust
ness of a small city. Thousands Of
new and permanent residents were
brought i'm and the town became the
center OF "a great industry practical
~ over night. The office was flood
ed with business which il was unable
10 handle In addition many of the
postal employees were induced into
the rubber plants 10y larger wages.
An appeal 10 the pOstoffce depart
ment brought no response until con-
ditions became such that the post
master was forced To resign because
he was thought incapable Of han
dling the office by the department
and The assistant postmaster hand
ed in his resignation. The Ofhce was
demoraliZed AT one time special de-
livery letters remained in the office
for several days and regular mail
was even delayed. An investigation
by the department brought 90 addi-
tional clerks to Akron before condi-
tions were brought back TO normal.
There Is nothing 90 prevent a repeti-
ton of that situation here unless the
steps are taken i'm time and at once. 80
