HYDE DECLARES CONNECTICUT IS
 SWEPT BY BOOM
Commissioner of Labor Statis- tics Reviews Industrial
 Activities.

Replying to the request of the ''PhiladeIphia Public Ledger" which yesterday published a synopsis of bus mess prospects, Labor Commissioner William S. Hyde has reported indus trial conditions to be very good in 1 Connecticut, although records of an- sWers to the Questions which the Public Ledger propounded are not kept in this state. Among the things that were asked were the following g.: What are the industrial and busi- Eess conditions in your state?
 To what extent and in what direc- ton has the war affected these con- ditions?
 What effect may be expected if the war should continue another year?
 Apart from what may be expected a result of the war, what is the general outlook /in your lcomrnon- wealth? [,
 What is the approximate number of unemployed in your state?
 If it should be inconvenient for you to answer this in person, will you kindly delegate some member of your state administration to reply so that the report may carry official weight :?
 Commissioner Hyde replied as fol- To the Editor of Public Ledger:
 Sir:-Your letter of recent date to the Hon. Marcus H. Holcomb, gover- nor, has been turned over to this de- partment for reply.
 Statistics along the line which you ask are not kept by this department so that any statements can only be general.
 From the reports made by the va rious inspectors who go throughout the state in the course of their du- ties, this general statement as to con- ditions in Connecticut can be made: At the present time industrial and bus iness conditions are excellent. Con- necticut has a. considerable number of industries which make supplies used in war. These concerns have had war orders, directly or indirectly, and their business is booming; if the war should continue that condition would un- doubtedly remain the sa me in those lines of industry. In other lines not directly affected by the war during the year business has been fair, but at the present tipe seems to be on the gain.
 There are no statistics available as to the number of unemployed in the state. However, the percentage must Iy to unskill1ed labor. There seems to be at the present time an ample market for skilled labor of every kind.
 As I have said efore, the above staten ent is a general one, based upon observations of the investigators of this department, and is not based up- on any statistics.
