BOYS LEAVE FACTORY


Scarcity of Juvenile Labor Prevails

at Hemingray Plant.


The capacity of the Hemingray glass factory is somewhat decreased owing to the scarcity of boys. Many of the youngsters will not stay at their work and run away from the factory often causing many workmen to have to quit work also. A number of men have been employed there instead of boys, in order to have the entire plant in operation. The No. 3 tank will be started in full the first of next week.
