PENN SEApOARD
MAY RESUME WORK
At NEW CASTLE
Likely Also to Take Over and OPP
crate Tacony Steel
Works.
MATTER SUBJECT OF
ACONFERENCE TODAY

Likelihood that the New Castle plant
Of the Penn Seaboard Steel Corporation
will soon resume operations on large
scale has revived the hopes OF hundreds
Of men who formerly were employed
there.
At the same time. IL is SAID, the cor
poration will acquire the big lacony Steel
Co.'S plant, nj Tacony, just outside OF
PHILADELPHIA. This Tacony plant Is "A large
one. employing thousands of men while
in operation.
No official announcement has yet
emsnnted from the offices OF the Penn
Seaboard Company. Nor would officials
admit when asked today by a representa-
tive OF Every Evening, that they had
planned these forward movements. Ger
tain activities in progress around the New
Castle plant seem to confirm the report,
however. II is quite generally understood
on the outside that this place viii he opera
ting again in full force within few weeks.
THIS il the old Baldt Steel Casting
Companys plant The Penn Seaboard
Steel Corporation acquired IT some time
ago and operated II until last March.
Since then only sufficient force 10 keep up
the place and its equipment has been
maintained there. Usually two shifis are
worked there, one in the day time and one
ut night. The plant employs about $50
men Former employees are all very hope
full that the situation Is really rs promising
as it sectns.
Acquisition of the Tacony plant would
greatly enlarge the Penn Scabosrds
operations. This plant was erected during
the war and operated a. the Tacomy
Ordnance Corporation. IL was equipped
ut the beginning with = lot of machinery
for making large sns and other war
equipment, and IL is UNDERWOOD that
much Of this machinery is still in place
there. The plant has not been dong much
since the war.
The Penn Seaboard Company already
has place in Chester This plant has been
operating right along and will continue
To be an important factor in the companv's
production.
High officials at the Philadelphia Offices
of the corporation were IN New York to-
day, supposedly engaged In negotiations
looking TO the taking over of the Taeony
plant and setting the machinery in motion
again at New Castle.
Consequently, when Every Evening
made inquiry at the Philadelphia office
nothing definite could be obtained, but
there was a very optimistic atmosphere
about the place which gave color TO the
ruSnors
Both matters, that al acquiring the
Tacony works and also Of resuming
operations at New Castle, hinge, II Is
understood. on the outcome of the meet
ing in New York today.
