Borough President Marks objected to
the approval of the plans and to asking
for bids. because of the present heavy
tax burdens of the city and the hign
cost of materials and labor. He SAID
that the Board of Estimate was not
justified in inviting contractors to
spend money on bids merely to satisfy
curiosity. The Borough President be-

War Business Slackens
In Naugatuck Valley
by Telegraph to The Tnbun,l


Waterbury. Conn. March 9.-Leading
manufacturers OF the Naugatuck Val
ley. where factories have been busy on
war orders for many months, running
full blast day and night, admit there is
a lull in war business, but say that, so
far as purely domestic orders are con-
cerned, business was never better.
The munitions department of the
Scoville Manufacturing Company com
pleted its contracts with the British
government in December. About two
thousand women have been laid off on
account of recent suspension Of work
OF Russian contracts. Other large fac
tories maintaining war order depart
ments have begun to feel the effects OF
the lull, but the Scovilie company was
the first to lay Off any considerable
number of hands.
The releasing of so many women al
the Scoville works has been godsend
10 manufacturers in other lines who
employ large numbers Of women.

Almost on Peace Basis
ny Telegraph to The TriSun,l

Toledo, Ohio, March All factories
in Toledo and Northern Ohio engaged
in making war munitions for the Allies
have either completed their war orders
or will have done so by April !. Such
was the statement made by the heads
OF the various concerns here to-day.
they further state that in no case do
they expect 20 receive any further war
orders from the Allies.
In all, about 5000 men are employed
in making war material in this terri
tory. About one-half OF these have
already lost their jobs. All, however
have obtained employment, as there is
a scarcity Of labor here. Many have
left for Canada TO work in the NUM-
tions plants there.

Hartford Now in Need
OF Skilled Workingmen
rEy Telegraph 70 The Tribune ]

Hartford, Conn. March 9.-The mu-
ritions-making industry in Hartford
has slackened gradually for months.
To a large extent the concerns here
handled munitions orders only on sub
contracts. Much of this activity is
said by factory official in close touch
with the situation to have disappeared,
but in its place normal business is en-
ploying the men who formerly made
munitions.
Employment bureaus which book fac
tory help here said to-day that, in
stead of there being good men looking
for jobs in Hartford, there are vacant
places here open to skilled workmen.

CleUeland's Shell Makers
Turn to Other Trades

Cleveland, March 9.-The American
Multigraph Company is apparently
most affected by the slackenng in the
munitions industry. X. G.. A. Phillips,
secretary, said: "Our contract with
The British government expired three
or four weeks ago, and we quit max
ing fuses. About 300 girls and men
were let out. while others were
switched TO other work. We are pre-
pared for the changed conditions, as
il is generally known Great Britain il
now in position TO make her own
munitions"
The Grabler Manufacturing Com
pany quit making shell cases several
weeks ago, contracts having expired.
No men were thrown out of employ
ment, however. as the company has all
the work it can handle.
r. W. Kaltenbach. vice-president of
the McMyler Interstate Foundry Com
pany, said his concern is still making
munitions.

will necessitate not unemployment on
a large scale, but a relocation OF labor
and a conversion Of facilities TO new
work.
Munitions Profits Overestimated
It remains to be said that the profits
derived from munitions contracts,
though in some instances enormous
have been in many cases overestimated.
There have been some very heavy
losses, too. The manufacturer of NUM-
tions has been beset with many difl-
culties, whereas the production and
sale of basic materials which Is to con-
tinue, has been invariably profitable.
The Tribune has made survey OF
industrial conditions in those parts OF
the country where "war prosperity
has been most pronounced. The re-
suits are set forth in dispatches from
Pittsburgh, Bridgeport, Toledo, Albany,
New Haven and other places. The
opinion is general that peace" orders
Of domestic and foreign origin will ade-
ouately substitute for the war or
ders now disappearing.

Wages Cut as Munifion
Plants Lay Off Workers

From STAFF Correspondent Of The Trounel
Albany, March "A general falling
off in employment of munitions work
ers, accompanied by a decline in wages
in New York State, is indicated By re-
ports Of industrial corporations to the
State Industrial Commission. The ten
dency. while holding for nearly all
branches of industry. was decidedly
more marked in the metals, machinery,
conveyance and chemical group and
other trades allied with munitions
plants. Several war supply corpora,
tions have each discharged a thousand
men or more during the last monlh'
Compilations of the Labor depart
ment statisticians are not compete loI
February, but the January reports NOV
that in the wal supply INDUSTRIES from
10 4 per cent fewer persons were en-
ploved in January than in October last.
The decline in wages paid was more
pronounced than the decline in employ
ment in January, the decrease COM
pared with last October being from 4
10 per cent. The high point in en-
pioyment and wages since June, 1914,
was reached in December last.
The reaction which began in January
is being maintained. according to the
February reports. That is clearly indi-
Gated by the following tables, compiled
for The Tribune from returns of rep
resentativc manufacturers in two IN
dustral groups directly or indirectly
engaged in making war supplies, brass.
copper. aluminium. etc, and firearms,
tools. etc. A similar showing is made
D.. fho chemical grOuD
TIE data for the first group are based
upon returns from thirty firms, en-
ploying Q. 900 workers. The percentage
Of increase or decrease from month to
month from October, 1916. to January
1917. inclusive, was as follows:
