far this week*
The electrical manpower has remained about the same for the period* Aithongj a noaber of aen have been hired in the last week, we lost over slaty men in one day* When forty sons nnnansr help and twenty traveler* terminated.
It appears that we will hire a number of electricians in the next weak oar so that are cosing in frost other areas*
Many of cur recent and contemplated hires in the piping and electrical craft have and will cobs from strifes bound facilities* We cannot* therefore* predict how long this type craftsman will be available.
