 MUSCLE SHOALS BUREAU
 TEE AGE.IERAI n

J
 Rumor has gained circulation in the Tri-Cities that several hundred workmen at Wilson dam are to be cut off of the payroll. Col. George R. Spaldings, chief engineer in charge of the work at the dam, stated that in his opinion there will be little, if any reduction In the number of men em- ployed befohe the end of the present fiscal year, June 30. He said the maximum number on the payroll since he took charge of the dam was be- tween 4,200 and 4,300 and that there are at present approximately 3,900 men at work. He said the reduction in the provost had come about through the completion of certain sections of the work and that more of the men had voluntarily quit, few of them having been laid off Ho explained that as the work neared completion there would be more changes in the class of workmen needed, that as progress is made on the power house more mechanics and fewer laborers and carpenters will be required. Colonel Spalding made clear that the program on which ho Is proceeding calls for high speed work for the remainder of the fiscal year. with every prospect for the continuance in the new system here without any appreciable dimiuu- tion.
