Or with some dear delusion we insist
That richer cargoes towards us swing

We cry for chances which we can't

somewhat improved over former

| IF something Is not done to bring
more business to Portland there will

concerns closing their doors on Con-
gress street within a few months"
was the declaration of Hon. Frederick
| w. Hinckley of South Portland
speaking before the luncheon meeting
| Of the Portland Kiwanis Club on
Tuesday. This and many other
| forceful arguments were brought
forward by Mr.. Hinckley to show the
necessity of bringing additional pay
rolls to the Forest City. II see no
hope for the merchants OF the city,
many Of whom are on TIE verge of
bankruptcy, unless they can take
their minds off their own business
long enough to bring money here
| from outside through those who will
establish additional pay rolls here"

below former busy seasons when
from 21a to 8 million cases of 100
cans had been put up on the Maine
coast. In recent seasons factory
work had amounted to about four
months work, with a pack of about
one half of the above amount. The
sardine canning industry in recent
years Is Of small Importance here
as a money distributing industry to
the few thousand workers but 1t Is
probable that later years some
