Factories in the south and west are
working under less pressure, labor is
not quite SO scarce and railroad trans
portation conditions are better.
The many ramifications of the sub
ject have recently been discussed, it
was learned today, between represent
tativs of the War Industry Board, Rail-
road Administration, Treasury, Ship
ping Board and the Labor Depart
ment
Officials who have studied the sub
ject scientifically believe the east is
over crowded, but point out a multi
tude of reason why there can be no
wholesale transfer of contracts to
manufacturing districts of the west.
The process must be very slow, they
say, and will be developed by the plac-
ing of single contracts outside of the
east wherever conditions warrant. The
Railroad Administrators interest
grows out of the serious traffic con-
gestion with which it has been con-
fronted from the Pittsburgh manufac-
turing district eastward.
The joint policy of the Railroad and
Shipping Board to divert more export
freight to south Atlantic and Gulf
ports, now beginning to materialize, is
certain to result eventually in the
drawing of manufacturing toward
these points, it is pointed out.
| A committee of traffic experts head
| ed by L. Wfnchell Of the Union Pacific
is now in the south studying railroad
| trackage and terminal facilities with
the intention to recommend a scheme
of routing more traffic over lines not
overburdened already as are eastern
roads. Similar studies have been
made of the middle west.

EVENTS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Shetucket River Rose Great HeighFreshet Expected Central Wharf Iron Bridge Nearly Completed- -Dredg- ing the Thames River.

In Norwich fifty years ago the She tucket river rose to great height and it was expected that a freshet would occur. The work of building an iron bridge at Central wharf was nearly completed and the dredging of the Thames river was about finished. An employe of the paper mill at Palmer town was thrown about a shafting and his injuries resulted in his death.
 Extracts from The Bulletins files of '6S follow:
 April 20, 1S6S.-The Shetucket river has been on another "boiT for a day or two but is becoming more quiet. The current on Saturday was very rapid and an unusual number of whirlpools and eddies were formed around the rocks between tie Laurel Hill and the covered bridges. Some people anticipated a freshet, but it did not materialize.
 A piece of woodland short dis tance south of Hardscrabble, West Side, belonging to George w. Geer, was burned over Sunday afternoon and a large lot of valuable timber was destroyed. Some boys playing in the grass set it afire either by design or through earelessness.
 Proposed Railroad Line. April '21, 1868.-A notice. of petition is published for the incorporation of a company to build a branch railroad from the Norwich and Worcester at point in Jewett City to the Rhode Island line in Voluntown. The pro- posed line would be about eight miles ] in length and would run through sev- eral little mill villages in Griswold and Voluntown. It would also prob ably encourage the improvement of several now used privileges in thai vicinity.
 The assessors make internal reve- nue returns for the city of Norwich al $13,325.6S.
 The fish markets are better supplied with fish than at any time for the past few months. Clans and oysters have appeared again in the markets at req sonable prices. The clans and oys- ters have been hard to get owing tc ] the extreme winter
