Local Evidence That

Here's a little dynamite to put under the depressionl
 The E. J. Manville plant has reopened and is working night shift in addition to the day schedule. The Patent Button factory heightened its schedule this week. Building Inspector Patrick Carlin reported $l25,000 worth of building last month, which, is more than the past month and higher than April of last year. William M. Harris. chairman of the Mutual Aid Un- employment. Inc. said that men are dropping off voluntarily from the ranks. The roster has been reduced to 9ll and it is said that by the 18th but 700 will be on the payroll. At that time, the committee will meet to take final action. They are finding work in the factories.
