He said the company is spreading the work around so that as many people as possible can stay on right to the end." Of the 920 looms in the Union Street plant, only 560 have been operating during recent months, Mr. Harris said. The mill produces acetate and rayon lining fabrics. Mr. Goran said the equipment will be liquidated by George D.

Although the company has a few orders it is filling, most of (he finished material being turned out has not been sold, he noted.
