MUST WORK LIVELY
TO FINISH INSPECTIONS
Factory Department Has Until Sept.
30 to Close Work.

Deputy Factory Inspector William
z. Duncan said Monday at Hartford
that with his six male assistants his
department would do all It could do
between now and the close Of the rs
cal year, September 30, to finish the
inspections of all the factories In the
state and the examination Of elevators.
Included in the factories are the bake
shops. There are in the neighbor-
hood Of 5000 places in the state which
come under the Jurisdiction of the de-
partment. The aim of the labor COM
missioner Is to have all the places Ia
spected at least once a year. But this
inspection does not include all the Wis.,
its which the deputies make to the
factories during the year. In a num-
Der Of instances other visits are made.
1t happens quite often that those IN
charge of factory desire to consult
with the department in regardsto the
attachment Of safety devices to ma
chinery and the deputy, in whose dis
trfct the factory is located, visits II
and makes as many visits as neces-
sary,
Mr.. Duncan said the increase in bus
mess in the factories in the state Is
quite marked. There is a great de-
mand for machinists. While IL is tr11e
that the increase Is due to war orders
other lines OF manufacturing are in
cidentally benefited. There Is an inn
provement in the stockinet and wooden
industries of the state.
The department gives particular at
tention to the condition Of elevators
in buildings of whatever nature. II
realizes the importance Of having ele-
vators in an absolutely safe condition
There are no chances taken with an
elevator. II all its machinery is not
in perfect order the inspector will in
sist on its being ma6e so. The own
ers of the buildings in which thsrs
are elevators show a commendable dis
position to cooperate with the depart
ment in securing safety.

humor escaped. and so it was found
at the Backus hospital. to which the
boy was takenu as quickly as possible
in the ambulance, that the organ was
damaged beyond help and that the
sight could not be restored. The boy
will be able to leave the hospital in
q day or two, it was stated Monday
