 IN Y. Nj, c, A, WAR WORK

Nearly 90 professions and vacations are represented in the latest roster of '. M. c. A. men workers enlisted in New England, a total of 1925 having been examined and passed by the Northeastern Department of the Ma ti0nal War Work Council since the beginning of the war; f65 being sent overseas and 460 doing service in home camps and naval stations. Four came from Norwich-Rey. George H. Ewing, who was formerly pastor of the First Congregational church at Norwich Town and Rev. Leavitt Sher- burne, formerly pastor of St. James Episcopal church at PoquetaR1ck; R. T. Crosby, formerly '. M. c. A. phy- sical director, and Rev. Harry Schal- man.

That means a college efiroilment of at least 400. Conditions recall some of the hectic days of all the different drives that war years. Cards, signs. posters. in every conceivable place keep before every eye the symbol of the noble organization, and stump speeches, all on one text, heart and dollar" are liable to burst out anywhere. The roll call campaign is being carried on under the auspices of the service leagle.

ADVOCATES PROFIT SHARING
 FOR EMPLOYES IN PLANTS

That employees should share in the profits of industrial undertakings and be given an active part in the man. agement in connection with all prob lems affecting their welfare, is the opinion of eightyfive per cent. of the members of the National Council of the National Economic League as ex- pressed in a recent vote on twelve questions concerning the labor prob lems of the United States, GrosYenor Ely of this city is a member of the council
 The incorporation of trade unions, the maintenance of the open shop, and equal opportunities for women in in dustry with equal pay for similar work and efficiency were also favored by the same high percentage.
 These questions were formulated by a special committee of the league, among the members of which were Charles W Elliot president emeritus of Harvard university. Irving Fisher of Yale university, John Hays Ham mend the well known mining epgi- neer Henry P. Kendall. president of the Norwood Press. Louis T. Post. assistant secretary of agriculture. and Henry R. Seager of Columbia u1fver sity.
 The first question oh the list. '1s readjustrNut in industrial relations essential to American prosperity ?" was answered in the affirmative by ninety per cent of the voters.
 Should the obligations of employees engaged in public utilities vital to the daily functions of society be different from those of employees in private life?" the specific query receiving the | largest vote--and the following one: Should there be federal tribunal to assume jurisdiction in dealing with potential and actual strikes?" were answered favorably by seventy seven per cent. of the voters.
 About sixty-five per cent. are re- corded as favoring "the establish ment of public employment offices by the federal government" "a national 1 industrial parliament to be made up 1 of the business and industrial forces and of organized labor, meeting joint ly as a forum and industrial body" and a general acceptance of union recognition"
 It was the opinion of seventy seven per cent. that labor in industry of children under sixteen years of age should be abolished.
 i A pamphlet issued by the league contains sixteen pages of interesting comments on these questions by the members of its special committee.

 The new highway bridge was form erly owned by the New Haven road It was erected more than 25 years ago at a cost of about s1.000.00 About the time of it's construction it was the most modern bridge of it's kind and the largest draw bridge in the world With the increase in passenger and freight traffic about ten years ago the bridge became unsafe for the passage of heavy locomotives and freights and the New Haven road was compelled to abandon it and erect a heavier structure.
