OF 10000 Incubator Chicks, Fifty Per
Cont. Die-Wsak Legs the Cause
Change At Electric light Plant


During the month just closed in
the town of Griswold there have been
Matched more than ten thousand in
cubator chicks of various breeds. More
than fifty per cent have died from
various causes, but a. large number
have succumbed to weak legs when
under a week old. One man in a
Matching Of 70 lost IS from this COM
plant. w. III. Card of Manchester,
who recently gave an address here be-
fore the Connecticut Pathological So
ciety, was asked about this matter and
gave his opinion that the weak legs
in young chicks is caused by their be-
ing Matched. as it We're, right on a
board or cement floor. He says let a
young chick feel the ground, If nee
essary shovel away the snow to make
this possible. Another authority gives
it as his opinion that people are breed
ing from too young stock, that is,
yearling pullets and cocks.

UNIONS HOLD PROTEST MEETING


l What might be termed protest
meeting of IS representatives of the
unions Of carpenters. painters and
plumbers was held IN A. b. 8. hall
Friday evening. The matter Of build
ing contracts in general in this city
Joseph Bergeron, president of the
Building Trades council, presided. The
matter q having a permanent business
agent for which the meeting WAS pri-
marily called, was also discussed and
referred to the several unions for final
action and report. The principal busi-
ness transacted, however, was the
unanimous adoption of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we, as a. body Of Cit
liens and workingnlen OF this city. do
not think justice Is shown us by the
stockholders of this city in letting
their buildings to out of town contract
money to men who are not living here
and who do not dispose of the money
here as we would. If the work was let
to local contractors, the tradesmen
would be given work. which at the
present time they are deprived of, and
We believe that the sentiment of the
people is in sympathy with us in re-
gard to keeping the Industries In this
city. and we further believe that it
would be no more than fair, on the
part of the stockholders. to let their
buildings to local contractors, thereby
supporting the people who are helping
to support the uplifting of industries
in this city. We hope that the stock
holders will think of this resolution of
the people before letting any more
contracts.
