clared, and conditions in other Pa

bad. ,
Cancellation of government con
tracts "with autocratic rules which
make It Impossible for us to obtain

Bowles as the cause of the Impend
ing disaster to the shipbuilding In
dustry. The Northwest Steel com
pany, he skid, will begin to "taper
off" by discharging some men In
Jane and by October 15, unless un
foreseen developments occur, the
plant will be closed. The Columbia
River Shipbuilding company's plant,
he said, will close at about the same
time as his own. and the Guy M.
