Bohn Plant Gets Priority On New Manpower
Col George E Strong of the Army Air Corps procurement office and Montague Clark of the War Manpower Commission visited Adrian to press for manpower for Lenawee County and its new Aluminum & Brass Corp extrusion plant on East Beecher Street. The plant is given manpower priority, with a county labor management committee to be formed within two weeks. Strong stressed air power’s role and predicted the plant’s output would be critical to aircraft production as the war intensifies. The commission aims to organize a county labor management body with equal labor and management representation, potentially including an independent union voice. The visit highlighted the county’s ongoing manpower shortage and the need to align local industry with national war needs.
