Fight in Washington' *’>pn Merits of Georgia Port OS.^Others Brunswick, March,—eat injus tice has been done Bruns: \ k by At lanta -and Savannah n papers, which published under large', 'llines, that Brunswick was about toy ^ one of her shipbuilding plants, aV^that Governor Dorsey and other prohvent Georgians had been urged to L 01 to Washington to assist in saving it. The Atlanta reporters and correspondents unable to get to the bottom of the story, sent out what i3 considered here as'a guess account. The fact of the matter is the meet ing in Washington Tuesday at which representative Georgians were pres- ent, was for the purpose of hearing Brunswick’s diaim for a mammoth shipbuilding plant, the fight for the plant being between Brunswick and Charleston and Wilmington. One of the city’s best claims for the new plant is the great headway made here Government contracts already placed with local concerns. There has never been the least in dication of Brunswick losing any of her big plants, all of which are now working on full time, daily and Sun day, and one or two of which will, within a short time, inaugurate'three 8-hour shifts per day.' In this con nection it may be stated that while no publicity was given to the matter at the time, in one single day Brunswick business men subscribed $130,000 for building houses to accomodate labor ers of the big steel plant iq the event it was decided to locate it here, this being one of ther equirements of the shipping board. It is believed that this port's advantage will win the new plant. NOTED LECTURER HERE WEDNESDAY ITT. ROLAND NICHOLS TO SPEAK AT SCHOOL AUDITORIUM ON WEDNESDAY? MARCH 20. MRS.
