ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York, Feb. 7-Opening: Heav-
mess at the opening of today's stock
market was traceable to adverse over
night developments, particularly the
loss of the Tuscania. Shippings were
again the most conspicuous issues,
yielding only moderately. but soon
showing gains. Standard railroads lost
little round and active industrials,
including steels, averaged recessions
of less than point with coppers,
equipments and affiliated specialties.
Liberty second As made a new low
record at 95.74.
Noon-The setback was checked
before the end of the first half hour,
mainly on the firrnness of shippings
and the steady absorption of invest
ment issues at concessions. Fresh
selling developed toward noon, how
ever, most leaders, including rail-
roads, exceeding initial declines.
United States SteeTs part rally was
forfeited under renewed pressure and

HoIcomb Endorses
Boy Scouts Work

Hartford, Feb. 7-Governor Marcus
H. Holcomb today gave his official
announcement to the anniversary
week campaign of the Boy Scouts of
America. The following statement
was issued by the Governor:
1.-The Boy Scouts of America char
tered by Congress June 16, 1915, have
an anniversary week campaign in the
United States from Feb. 8th to 18th,
1918, to raise 100000 for the extern
sion, promotion and war work of the
National Council Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. The Boy Scouts in this state have
been active and efficient in aiding Lib
erty Loans, Red Cross funds, War
Thrift Stamps, and all other patriotic
measures. Any encouragement given
them returns one hundred per cent in
results. Connecticut should contri-
butte it's full share to this fund.-

STATE PUSHING
ENROLMENT OF
SKILLED LABOR
Urgent Need of Shipbuild-
ers and Other Mechanics
Hastens Work.
BEST ARTISANS OF
NATION ARE SOUGHT
Total of $50, 900 Required at
Once, Says Message
From Capital.

Hartford, Feb. 7-America's urgent
need for skilled workmen to build the
ships which will make the great fleet
which is to spell defeat for the sub
marine is emphasized in a telegram
received today by the Connecticut
State Council of Defense from Walter
S. Clifford, Director of the Council of
National Defense at Washington. The
enrolment of Connecticut's share of
100000 men for the United States
Shipyard Volunteers of the Public
Service Reserve is being directed by
the state defense council.
Mr.. Gifford's telegram points out
the important part which state coun-
ellis of defense are expected to play in
the enrolment of these shipyard vol
unteers. The text of the telegram fol-
lows:
THE workers that are going to
build the nations ships are scattered
across the United States. Our i'm
mediate problem is to carry to them
the message that to win the war our
first need is ships, and to build ships,
our first need is labor. We must have
the best artisans in the United States.
We must have the skilled steady man,
mature in character and perhaps in
years, who is willing to move his fam
lily from a cherished home and break
up comfortable habits and fond as
sociations for new abode; who is
willing to make these sacrifices be-
cause he realizes that the success of
this Nation and the Allies is at stake
and only his work, earnest and en-
to the great cause of liberty.
ITO reach these men and inspire
them to patriotic effort is the parti-
cular task of the state council of de-
tense. With their 5000 local coun-
ellis, covering all the important indus
trial centers in the United States, they
are peculiarly fitted for this work.
They not only reach into every fac
tory town but they come into personal
contact With skilled labor. 1t will be
their duty to rouse every competent
artisan in the country. The States
have already entered energetically in
to the campaign; before it is over we
intend to have not only $50, 800 work
men ready to serve in the shipyards
but so many more than that that the
| Nation can select the best; that as the
need for workers grows, the yards will
| fill with band of steady earnest toll
ers, putting their hearts and their
muscles into their job for the sake OF
their country"

Big Saving in Man Power
and Gasoline Expected
By Campaign.

Hartford, Feb. LAS a result of a
conference held at the State Capitol
under the auspices of the Commercial
Economy Division of the Committee
on Industrial Survey, Connecticut
State Council Of Defense, cooperating
with the Connecticut Chamber of
Commerce, local organizations
throughout the state, which have not
already done so, will take up within a
few days the commercial economy
recommendation of the Council of
National Defense.
The object of the recommendation
is the conservation of man power, the
saving of building equipment, and the
economy of gasoline. The results are
to be obtained through economy in
delivery of packages and a reduction
in the number of packages delivered
by educating purchasers to carry
home their own packages.
The Commercial Economy Division
suggested as methods of accomplish
ing this result cooperative deliveries
no special deliveries, capacity loads,
one delivery per day per route, and no
deliveries of goods less than 81 in
value. The active cooperation of
women's organizations in putting the
program in force is to be secured.
Alton T. Miner of New London,
chairman of the Commercial Economy
Division, presided and outlined the
program proposed for Connecticut.
H. K. Taylor of the Commercial
Economy Board. Council of National
Defense, Washington, D. c., spoke.
Letters will be sent at once to those
chambers Of commerce and similar
organizations in the state which were
not represented at the conference,
urging them to institute the proposed
program in their communities. The
committee intends to follow this
matter up carefully and make an
earnest effort to secure throughout
Connecticut the adoption of the gov
ernments commercial economy
recommendations.

COMMITTEE HEARS
SUIT FOR $500

Judge W. H. Comley, Jr., sitting
as a committee of the Superior Court,
is today hearing testimony in the suit
of John A. Hurley, Inc, against S.
Sternau & Co. of Brooklyn in which
a breach of contract is claimed. Dam
ages of $500 are asked, but the
Sternau Co. sets up a counter claim.
In the complaint it is alleged a con-
tract for doing certain work was
made Jan. IT, 1913, and the Hurley
Co. performed the work, but the Ster-
naus refused to accept it, or pay a
bill of $2,61S.75. Another count al
1eges the performance of services to
the amount of $4,000 for which the
defendants refused to pay. Judge
Comley was named as a committee
Dec. IL to ascertain the facts and re-
port to the Superior Court. There is
a mass of disputed figures to be ex-
amined, and voluminous correspond
ence. The hearing was in the Su-
preme court room.

METAL
STOCK VALUE IS
I S4OO,OOO,OOO

These dollars-some 400, 900, 900
comprise the only large stock of sil-
yer metal in the world, and as they
are represented in circulation by pa
per there have been persistent pro-
posals to obtain their release, so that
they could be used at their bullion
value to settle the trade balances
which exist against the United States
and Great Britain and in favor of In
dia, China and Japan. Unofficial re-
Icrts have come from Washington
from time to time mat a plan was
under consideration and likely to be
agreed upon by which Federal Re
serve notes would be substituted in
circulation for silver certificates, thus
releasing the dollar pieces for export
New legislation would be necessary to
allow the reserve banks to issue these
notes in one and two dollar denomin-
atoms, and in order to get this legis-
lation from Congress without reviving
the old silver issue it was considered
necessary to provide that the govern
ment should replace the dollars in
the Treasury later, and protect the
silver producers against an unfavor-
able effect upon prices by agreeing
to take the entire production of the
country for given term at a price
fixed in the act.
The government of Great Britain
was to join in the arrangement by
taking 60,000,0O0 ounces per year.
The prices seems to have been the
stumbling block. The producers have
held out for 81 per ounce, which -
Objectionable to Great Britain as
above the present Indian coinage
rate.
Meanwhile our exchange position
with Japan has been relieved by the
latter country taking $4O,O00,OO0 of
British government obligations.
