See Shutdown
 At Lake Plant

It is rumored that a lay off in cer- tain departments at the plant of the Lake Torpedo Boat company is to come in a short time. Rumors of this nature twice before during the late winter and early spring did not materialize, Lut men employed there are expecting such a happening, due to the fact that work is rapidly being finished on the last of the under water craft on the ways. This boat is to be launched about July 23.
 Some men will finish their end of the work before the fighting boat is completed, and others immediately after. It is stated by some of the men who are expecting quiet times at the Lake plant, that even if new con- tracts were available it would be some time before work would pro- gress far enough for employment to be made for all now working at the Seaview avenue pant.
