Three large factories, where only Jewish young men will be employed, are to be established by the Ort in the Ukraine, it is learned here today. The first factory will be at Kharkov, which will specialize in the manufacture of toys, and employ 400. Another will be a textile factory at Komarovka, where 225 will be employed, and a third is to be a lumber factory at Letitchev, where 300 will be employed. All of the machinery will be brought from abroad by the Ort.
