BY a system used in the local of

there were 25,022 hands employed
in the second district, which district
comprises New Britain, Plainville,
Berlin, Forestville and several other

working in these factories. This
shows a slight decrease of but 157
hands, most of whom the labor men
in this city believe are women who
entered the factories as a patriotic
measure, and now that the war has
ended have given up their places. In
the first report given the government
from New Britain the local repre-

SENATORS PROTEST
SECRET SESSIONS
Borah of Idaho and Williams OF Miss
SisSippi Urge Publicity
At Peace Table.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
BOrah of Idaho addressed the senate
today in protest against secrecy at
the peace conference. He said the
question was whether President Will
sons point for open diplomacy was
to be discarded entirely.
Senator Williams of Mississippi
joined Senator Borah in the demand
for open proceedings, saying he was
glad to see republican helping
President Wilson in his fight.
Senator Borah declared he believed
the matter of publicity as to the
proceedings to be one of the most
vital propositions before the con-
ference and said it ought to be
known that the senate was in SYM
pathy with the commissioners op-
posing secrecy.
Calling attention to the first Of the
presidents Ia peace terms which
called for "open covenants of peace
openly arrived at" the senator said
there was no question but that this
was intended to meet just such
practices as now proposed.

Death KNELL SOUNDS
FOR SUNDAY MOVIES
New Haven Judge Rules
Them Illegal-Appeal
to Legislature.

New Haven, Jan. 1T.-Moving pic
ture exhibitions in theaters even if
the net receipts are given to chari-
table objects are illegal, in the
opinion of Judge Hoyt of the city
court who today fined Claude Fred
ericks, manager of the Olympia thea
ter $40 and costs for opening his
theater on Sunday evening January
5 for benefit for the Employees
tuberculosis association. This was
test case, and by agreement the other
theater managers are included in the
same decision. All have taken an
appeal to the common pleas court.
For many months some of the
theaters have held Sunday evening
moving picture exhibitions, the net
receipts being given to various or
ganizations or war charities, Re-
Gently the Pastors Union made COM
plaint against the Sunday opening on
the chief ground that the state law
and city ordinances were being
violated It was understood that
these theaters had not confined their
entertainments to moving pictures.
Prosecution was brought by the city
attorney.
Judge Hoyt, in his decision said
that if the theater in question de-
sired to have a benefit for the Tu-
berculosis association it could hold it
on a week day. A Sunday exhibition
was not an "act of mercy under the
law To hold that a benefit per
formance such as given was an "act
of mercy" would mean that the law
could be construed to permit prize
Of entertainment. provided the net
receipts were given to charity for a
charitable object. An "act of mercy"
the court said was an entirely differ
ent thing. The theater managers
should seek a remedy by appealing to
the legislature to change the Sunday
observance law.
