Potter said to a "Unltod Press" reporters "Altogether CO of our former employes hnvo returned to work and we have been informed that many more will make ap plication for their old places. Twenty seven of our old men oamo in yesterday. Twenty-four of them found their places still open, but tho others, I am sorry to say, were disappointed. But while they cannot step into their positions they gave up a month ago, these men will be given work."
