intends to treat all men fairly; that
the qualifications to be taken into
consideration in retention Of en-

two hundred men have voluntarily
left their jobs at the arsenal for
work ELSEWHERE, and Colonel Jor-
dan believes that this rate OF de-
crease will continue before he is
obliged to give notification. These
men are not waiting for any further
word from Washington but are
leaving as rapidly as thy can To-
cate in new jobs.
