HODGSON MILLS
PUSHED TO LIMIT
TO FILL ORDERS
Exceptionally Heavy Demand
for Yarns, Coming at Elev-
enth Hour, a Good Sign.
EXTENDING TO OTHER LINES

Day and night shifts have been put
to work in the Hodgson Bros. yarn
spinning mills on the Brandywine
Creek at Henry Clay, as the result of
heavy demand for worsted yarns,
which has come from all parts of the
country in the last three weeks.
Orders are on hand now to warrant
operating the factory at full capacity
until spring. j. ID. Hodgson. n member
of the firm, told an Every Evening
man today.
The plant employs at full capacity
on two shifts 100 mechanics and spin
ners, the majority of the latter being
women, but at present the night shift
has not been completed and there are
situations awaiting about Is exper.
fenced spinners, he said. That the
work cannot be done by a green hand
is the reason for this unusual situa-
ton. where the demand for labor Is
greater that the supply.
OF greater Importance than the em-
ployment OF 100 persons is the trend
toward the normal, which the influx OF
orders indicates. Mr.. Hodgson ex.
pressed the opinion that the boon
would extend itself to all clothine
lines and that il Is a general indica.
ton Of what may be expected in tn,
next few months. Buyers of all man
factured products have hesitated I,
place their orders. he said, and helt
out until the last minute, as they ar,
doing now. With the demand fol

are now placing rush orders. TIL,
manufacturers, too, hesitated to e,
ahead with the making of goods an,
consequently some are pushed to tn
limit to fill the orders.
Worsted yarn, which is spun at tn,
Hodgson plant. is used in the manu-
facture of sweaters. jersey cloth
bathing suits. woollen stockings an,
other heavy weight garments. Unde
ordinary business conditions tn,
yarns for these articles are ordere,
in April and May. while this year onll
few were placed until month ago
Yarns for sweaters are in particular
demand to take care of the winter anC
Christmas demand. Orders are com
ing in daily for yarn TO be used II
making bathing suits especially of tn,
grade used in white jerseys and blu
trunks. Mr.. Hodgson said. The de
mand for bathing suits for next sum
mer win be unusually large. accord
ing to indications.
Wool and yarn too have taken
drop of 400 to 500 per cent as com
pared with the cost of the war prod
uct. Wool in the grease" is now sell
ing for 20 cents a pound. compare
with the war price of 81. Yarn whicl
formerly sold for So a pound is nov
quoted at S5 cents. The price O
sweaters, too. has also dropped. i
addition the demand for yarn ha
been stimulated by the fall styles TO
women. which include sweaters of a

For the first time since the trial

ante-roOm. being appraised of the
result by friends and counsel JuSt

ger who was with his son, Floyd.
said that he disliked the thought Of
the congratulations which would
come his way in the event Of a fav-
orable verdict. cit is hard for me
20 express myself now he observed.
Members Of the jury insisted up
on meeting Berger ana offered him
their best wishes. The II men who
