tions manufacturers of Connecticut and
the four counties of western Massachu

cause a crisis exists and it calls for the
unlimited exertion by both manufactur-

gave the manufacturers some facts that
surprised them and explained that the
crisis demands them TO strain them
selves to the utmost.
"Some manufacturers, he said, ''seem
to have the idea that peace is near, and
that idea is detrimental To the interests
of the government. You must remem-
ber YOU have signed contracts by which
you agreed to deliver To the government
definite quantities of goods at def
mite times, and most of YOU have not
lived up to your contracts. A crisis ex-
lists and il calls for unlimited exertior
on your part. Just as it does on the part
of your employees"
| H. +. Miles of the department of la
bor told those present that they haC
been laggards in solving their labor prob
lens aud that the time had come fol
them to busy themselves. Thirty day
ago" he said. the manufacturers OF thi.
icountry were told that within 80 day
they must train 100000 new skille,
workers. Thirty days have passed an,
the workers have not been produced
That means that in the next go day
they must be trained and you men mus
start the work Immediately"

PLANS FOR CHANGING
LOCAL TIMEPIECES
Some to Be Set Back Tonight and 9th

the hands of their watches one hour,
thus establishing time conditions as
they were before April /, when clocks
all over the country were set ahead an
hour as an economic influence to pro-
mote the aims of the war, but most per-
sons will change their timepieees be-
fore retiring tonight or viii wait un-
til they arise in the morning.
The clock in the tower of the Centre

this evening and will be started
again tomorrow morning. l.. w. Ami

ing as to when they will adjust their
! timepieces Some already have set
their watches to conform to the time
which will 90 into effect officially at
: Q clock in the morning. Some will
retire in accordance with the time
which they have been following dur
| ing the summer months, setting their
watch back an hour before retiring,
and will arise by the new time. In
this way they will gain an hour of
sleep which they lost the night of
March % and which they have been
mourning ever since, refusing TO for
get that clocks had been changed.

spring will now be able to conform tc
J the general schedule of life and bust
ness without straining their menta
faculties and continually keeping il
mind the fact that business and trains
as well as social and other functions
were an hour ahead of the time record
ed by their timepeces. Some herds OF
cattle also will not have to rearrang,
their cud-cheWing schedule, as theil
owners did not require them to con
form TO the summer time.
All necessary plans have been mad,
by the railroad officials so that train.

, take every precaution to see that ever,
employe of the company changes hi

employees will be carefully checked III
and their watches axam;pad % -
whether they have the true time. AS
further precaution the new time will b
telegraphed hourly to all stations O.
