Skilled Female Help
 Scarce In the State

Hartford. Conn.,, Feb. 12.-Labor commissioner William s. Hyde said to- day that the statements that there was scarcity of female factory operatives ir the state was true only as it applied to skilled labor. In the eastern part of the state where there was a large number of girls employed the demand for skilled female help was greatly in excess of the supply. He also knew a factory in Litchheld County which could be kept running night and day if the owners could secure all the female help needed.
 Commissioner Hyde said reports from superintendents of the state ern- ployment agencies showed that every one which had the slightest skill whatever could easily obtain employ ment in factories. It was equally true of male aeIp. The commission CT referred to the remarkable increase in the business of the employment agency in Norwich to illustrate his statement.
