Information from Tamarack officials reports that about ten men were laid off last Monday evening, reducing the winter workforce to roughly fifteen. The action follows telegraphic instruction from Jerome J Day, with Portland meetings cited as aiming to settle disputes involving EB It Day and the Hercules estate. The layoff appears linked to stalled mine work and possible smelting contract talks, with plans maybe to abandon the Northport smelter. Axel P.
