The seventeenth annual report of the bureau of labor statistics for the year ending November 30, 1901, contains much valuable information to the labor ing classes. In the number of labor organizations Waterbury stands fourth in the cities of the state with twenty five, Hartford New Haven and Bridge port leading with fifty. thirty-four and thirty respectively The chapter upon strikes and lockouts shows that from January 1, 1901, to October 30, 1901, II ,250 workers were idle some portion of the time through those causes. The total loss of time was 250, ,16S days, which, figuring the average wages at only $1.5O per day, amounted to loss of wages of $375, ,252. The total num- Der of strikes and lockouts was nnety- six, of which forty-two were success ful, eleven partially successful, eleven amicably adjusted and thirty-two un- successful The large number is prin- cipally accounted for Sby the general strike of the machinists, in which 5,3OS men were involved and the loss of wages amounted to S223,531 Under this head the report further says: The most noticeable and interesting fea- lures are the greater confidence and higher aspirations of organized labor, which reflects the greater prosperity prevailing in the state to-day. Seven weight per cent of all the strikes and lockouts were to enforce demands for better conditions. such as better pay, shorter hours. etc. Very few were against threatened changes for the worse. The fact that most of the strikes were wholly or partially suc- cesSful demonstrates in a measure the strength of the labor movement, but it is significant chiefly because it ac- centuates the prevalent good times Without good business Connecticut's manufacturers could not have ac- ceded to these demands
 There are 340 organizations in the state which have furnished reports to the commissioner. with an aggregate membership of 32,256. The order in which these organizations were formed will give an idea of the rapid strides organized labor is making at the pres ent time. One was formed in 1S1T :: from 1850 to 1S60 ?; from 1860 to 1870. 13; from 1870 to 1880, ,; from 1880 to 1890, 61; from 1890 to 1900, 1oS; in 1900, 46, and in 1901, 1S9.
 A considerable space is devoted to reports of the five free public employ ment bureaus established in Water bury, Hartford, New Haven, Bridge port and Norwich. During the five months reported there were 5.742 ap- plications for employment. 3,STo appli- cations for help and S,14O positions se- cured. Of these totals the Hartford office had 40, 41.55 and 51.S3 per cent respectively.
 The labor laws of the state are com piled in handy form for quick refer ence, and the book will prove of great convenience and should be presery ed by every labor organization.

STILL BURN STRONG
LIGHTS OFF HARBOR

days aFo that these Jap fishermen ha
agreed a. keep away from the cntfHpee
~ the harbor channel and 60 stop burn
Inr those big lights on the harbor but
there has been no abatement Of this
nuisance and danger" said an officer
~ u steamer yesterday.
a few nights ago "A big steamer had
TO change her course twice while on
the harbor to avoid running down one
Of those sampans. Another steamer
when being taken out Of the harbor at
night recently found that there was a
sampan anchored at the harbor en-
trance. The Japanese in this sampan
could see the steamer coming. In fact
he could not help seeing her under any
conditions and the steamer was going
at a slow rate OF speed. 1t was i'm
possible to change the course of the
steamer as II was still in the channel
and In order to avoid smashing up that
sampan and drowning its occupants the
steamer put herself i'm some danger by
going a trfe off her course and also
by stopping her engines. The Jap made
no attempt to move but set up ter
rible lot OF holloing. Well the bow
OF the steamer just grazed his boat and
pushed II a little to one side. The sam
pan was not injured but had the steam
er been going at even ordinary speed
that sampan would have been stove in
| to kindling wood.
II have talked with many shippers
OF deep water craft" the mariner con-
| tinued, land / find that each one of
them would prefer to have a fairly stifY
gale blowing off shore when arriving
here at night as they are practically
certain then that there will not be a
couple dozen sampans couple of miles
off shore burning lights that would put
lighthouse lamp to shame. Do you
know / have seen during the last few
days dozens of lights on those sampans
which are much more powerful than
either of the red lighthouse lamps. The
pilots light up the channel when bring
ing in a vessel after dark but their

matter of strength. those sampar

Il think 1t is about time that some
pretty stiff rule was adopted in regard
| to these fishermen. Some foreign
steamer will get on the reef through
them some night. Someone will wake
up then but 1t will be too late"
