Vice President Lamb Says Factory
Can Turn at Once to Fence
Productions.
The fact that the termination of
war will not make a great, deal of
difference with the running of the
Landers, Frary & Clark factory is
tho statement of Vice-President
Joseph Lamb. As far as he can see.
tho contracts which the factory has
will not. be terminated immediately
but will be terminated gradually and
by methodical degrees The manu
facturers do not plan to shut down
their shops the moment the final
peace plans are signed, he says. The
fact that war will then be over does
not mean that tho. manufacturing in
this country will cense. When war
broke out and everyone was busy on
peace work, and the manufacturers,
without a moment's hesitation, gave
over their plants or as much of them
as possible to the manufacture of
war articles, probably ono of the
largest concerns in this section to do
this was Landers. Frary and Clark.
Since then there has been no thought
of after the war and the production
of this concern have been seen in
even cantonment and naval base In
this country and abroad
The plant has added greatly to its
slso and has taken over several other
plants. The readjustment will be
handled in such a manner that all
the employees of all these various
plants will bo taken care of. There
i? -to truth to the. rumor that already
many employees have been dis
charged because peace is imminent.
It was rumored that many of the em
ployees of the. .taiiley street branch
f the Landers, Frary and Clark plant
lad been discharged. This was
denied this
who stated
thai branch
morning by Mr. Lamb
that the contract which
is working on will be
finished In 7 day:', but the factory
plans to provide for the people
working there.
The line of production of Lander?-,
Frary .t lark 'm one which can
be placed in nil the business markets
of the world. Now that the rush on
war work Is over it will not take
much work to turn the factory and
its employees back to the old line
of production and to do this is now
he plan and aim of the officfuls.
Pence manufacturing should b good
and the amount of manufacturing
wieh will of necessity be done will
ensure all of positions.

Draft Boards of Much of

Washington, Nov. 14. New orders,
further curtailing operations of the

are to be issued shortly by Provost
Marshal General Crowder. Stoppage
of all physical examinations in con

that the result obtained will bo of

promptly of the necessity for carrying
