The other day 1 workman in one of the factories. de cided to attend the Danbury fair ant made the trip without consulting hi boss. That kind of business don't g, in the shops nowadays, for it seem the supply in the labor market is il excess of the demand, and where condition of this kind exists a fellov wants to be pretty careful of hi movements.
