STRIKE MIGHT
HIT REPUBLIC
WalkOut of Rail Workers May
Possibly Force Plant to
Close.
HOPE FOR ENOUGH MATERIAL
Fleet of Trucks to BE Used To Bring
Parts Overland To the
Factory.

II is the hope of the officials OF The
Republic Motor Truck Company, Inc,
to keep the big Alma industry going
in spite Of the severe tie-up of ma
terials, and the hardships entailed in
making deliveries because of the rail-
road strike, which is assuming such
serious proportions.
1t is the intention Of the company,
wherever it is possible to make de-
liveries of trucks by overland routes,
and it is rather expected that by this
method most of the trucks, as they
are completed can be sent out and
put into use.
The big problem that The Republic
Motor Truck Company Inc, will be
forced to face will be in securing
parts, but ever possible effort is be-
ing made to meet this serious prob
lem. A great fleet of trucks is being
put IN readiness to go overland after
parts for the concern, some to De-
troit, some to Grand Rapids and Mus
kegon, and perhaps some to other
points.
Naturally, how long the Republic
will be able to run will depend opon
the length of the railroad strike, or
that the length of time that the var
ious parts company's are able to fur
nish parts for the company here. If
the strike continues over very long
period 1T is certain to close down
most of the industries of the country.
and without doubt would force The
Republic Motor Truck Company Inc,
TO suspend operations.
The big hope is, however, that the
strike will be Of short duration, and
that the parts companies will not be
forced to close. There is no certain
ty of a speedy end to the strike, how
ever, but The Republic expects to
put forth ever effort to keep material
on hand so that it can continue to
operate.
One prominent official of the com
pany stated Wednesday that it would
be most advisable for the employees
to save all the money that they pos
sibly could, in view of the strike be-
ing serious enough to close down the
local plant, and throw them out of
work temporarily.
