 Rumors of dissatisfaction by credi- tors over the disposition Of the plant ot the Bristol Mfg. Co. and the an nouncement that the Plainyillo fac tory ol the concern may possibly be used in reorganization plan. were set at rest by William r. Calder Of the American Trust Co, receivers of the underwear concern. He said that all of the statements of dissatisfac- ton were news to him." The super for court has given orders for the sale Of the real estate and machinery of the Bristol part Of the plant only and this has been done and the sales have been approved by the court. No ac- tion regarding the Plainyille plant has been ordered by the court so that the receivers have not taken up that end of the matter yet. He did not know just what would be done with the Plainville holdings of the company.
 The factory in Plainville employed several hundred hands and it is be- ing anNiously watched by the Plain vile residents, who would like to see the wheels turning once more. When the Bristol end of the plant was clos ed down, the Plainville plant was used for some time as its machinery was 4 a lower cost than the Bristol plant.
 The Bristol Mfg. Co. was organized in 1887 and since that time has turn ed out millions of dollars worth of underwear. The company met with a few years ago and has been shut down since that time, with l the exception of few employed at [ in interval while experiments in the 1 of silk sweaters were be- 1 ng made.
