 Can't Get Help.
 Plainville manufacturers are ex- periencing considerable difficulty in getting help for their plants and they admit that in many departments they are handicapped because of the scar city of labor.
 Keeping new help seems to be the greatest difficulty. Labor is in such demand that men give up their places on slight Drovocation. ForelgnerS seem particularly hard to deal with. They are hired in the morning and sometimes quit the same day With out giving any notice or assigning reason.
 The head of a department in one ot the lacal shops traced one of the "fcaters'' who had worked a full week recently, although he had three different jobs. He worked two days in a Plainville shop, quit without warning, gave up two more days to Bristol shop and was employed the remaining two in Hartford.
 The factories are all compelled to pay higher wages than ever before and the owners are finding the labor prob lem to be one of the most difficult they have to deal with.
