INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
SOON TO RESUME
Wilmington Manufacturers Ex.
pect Business TO Boom in Late
Spring.

General managers and officials repre-
senting 50 manufacturing plants OF the
city met yesterday afternoon to discuss
general working conditions and the busi-
ness outlook for Wilmington manufac-
turers
Many of the heads of the larger con-
Germs were optimistic and it was believed
that by spring trade would be back to
normal and on a more substantial basis
In discussing conditions il was pointed
out that trade could not remain at a stand
still much longer.
James T. Stein, secretary of the Manu-
facturers Association, speaking of those
who are out of work, said: we are doing
everything possible TO give employment
TO those out Of work Every effort is being
made TO keep manufacturers from further
reducing their forces Our free employ
ment Office is flooded daily with appli-
cants who are willing 20 do any kind of
work, but we are handicapped in the same
manner as the manufacturers.
Added to the long list Of UNEMPLOYED.
approximately 300 female cigar-rnakers
of the i. j. Dunn dc Company, cigar manu-
facturers. IT Ninth and Walnut streets
have beer thrown out of work with the
practical suspension of business Of that
concern. This plant has been idle for the
past gGek.

CIVIC GROUPS Will,
DISCUSS NEW CITY
CHARTER TONIGHT
Free Expression of Views and Rea-
sons May be Voiced at
Meeting.
MANY CONFLICTING
RUMORS FLOAT ABOUT

There is TO be meeting of the By
Partisan Charter Committee, composed
OF representatives of various civic or
CARNATIONS tonight. Originally called for
the board room of the Chamber Of Com
merce, the meeting ls now To be held in
parlors A and b of the Hotel du Pont.
Over this change in plans there has arisen
considerable argument and no little amour
of irritation.
When the By-Partisan committee has
organized, it will invite the members
the Charter Committee TO confer with 10
and tell it all about the proposed piece Of
legislation that has as its object a change
IN the methods OF doing business In this
city.
While so far as could be learned today,
there has been nothing planned by the
members of the Ry-Partisan Committee,
1T is very likely that some one will ask
the members of the Charter Committee
to state Just where they stand and why
they either are for or against any par
ticular plan of commission form Of gov
ernment. There has been considerable
talk IN the past ten days, and many re-
sponsible citizens cannot fathom, accord
ing 70 their own comment why there
should be so much secrecy now, about the
question. They realize, they say, why at
first there was need for taling within
the family" but that now il the time to
state their reasons for or against any par
tlcular form of commission government
prominent Democrat said this morn
ing that he did not believe there would be
AS much politics PLAYED by the Charter
Committee or any other group of men
and women. as he had feared ten days ago
At that time he was not so optimistic as
be Is now
On the contrary, a prominent Repub-
lican leader said today, that the charter
plan was off. II am told that the powers
back Of the party have told subordinates,
to let the matter go on, without pro-
test, and that when the bill comes before
the Legislature, il will be killed. The
men credited with such powers is an ac-
tive leader now, and the other a retired
leader, who never permits his name TO
appear in the limelght'
These two rtImors are illustrations Of
some Of the gossip going around.
According to the best information
obtainable, the Democrats members Of
the Charter Committee are for a COM
mission form Of government elected on
non-politlcal basis and bv the people.
II is said that the Republican members
that is some Of them, favor what is prac-
ticaily a continuation Of the present form
Of government-that is, allowing the
people TO name Mayor who shall in
turn name all the other commissioners.
There are reasons for both methods, and
a free expression Of why one group should
favor and another oppose, il both repre-
sent the best interests of the citizens, is
what the taxpayers want 10 learn about
The meeting place being changed 70
the Hotel du Pont, from the Chamber Of
Commerce, is due to the rooms of the
latter undergoing repairs and a general
cleaning this week,

Volstead Violat0rs in Future.

While receiving this morning the Sc
