FLEE REICH PORTS, May Available Labor Decide New Factory Location The available supply of mould-makers and core-makers in this vicinity may determine whether a foundry recently destroyed by fire will locate in Tipton and bring with it an estimated payroll of $100,000 to $150,000.

Negotiations with the factory management still are under despite rumors that they had failed, the industrial committee of the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce said today in a prepared statement. No public announcement was, made after negotiations the committee said, because of fear that efforts would.be maJe by Bother interests to block removal of the industry to Tipton. The committee's completely covering develop-1 ments to this time follows: "Negotiations have been un-j dcr way for several weeks wilhj the owner of a foundry cla-j stroyed by' fire in another city; in an effort to bring this Indus- BRITISH RACE TO ZUYDER ZEE try to Tipton.

In Tipton, there would VM cofc be no foundry labor competition, but, on the other hand, there is a question whether sufficient 'foundry labor could be obtained. "The plant, since the start cf the war, has employed about 50 persons, but before Ahe war employed up to 100. Its payroll now would be.

from $100,000 to $150,000. "Because the industry would be expected to be an asset to the city of Tiplon. the industrial committee offered to attempt to raise several thousand dollars by public subscription and also to provide a factory These inducements wore made only after bids for the plant were received from other cities. At the start of negotiations, the foundry owner "asked only that a railroad siding be provided and that assistance obtaining additional. land be given.

"A freight rate differential also is a detrimental factor from Tiptpn's standpoint. This factor and others must be considered before a decision can foe made to move the plant to Tipton but no definite answer has been received to the' committee's proposal and none is expected for several days, "In the meantime, all persons who would be available for foundry labor are asked to notify the City office in Tipton."
