 Reports from manufacturing centers all over New England show that em- p1oyees in factories are more interested in, bonds of the fifth Victory Liberty loan than they have been in any of the previous issues, according to a statement received yesterday at state Liberty loan headquarters from James Dean of Bos- ton, who has charge of the entire Lib- erty loan selling organization of New England with the title of chairman of distribution. ~ s7
 Solicitors are very much encouraged at the heavy sales of small bonds. These reports are gratifying as they confirmed my confidence in the men and women of New England. I have always felt sure that thev would be as willing to pay for victory as they were to fight for victory" reported Mr. Dean.

EXTRA TRAIN IS .-... ... <. WANTED FOR HELP
To Garry Waterbury WorkInen to and From Bristol Every Day.
 Bristol Factories Enlarging.

Bristol, April 25.=Mayor Joseph F. Dlttan, secretary of sthe Chamber of Commerce, James Cray and il. B. Case and I. c. Hughes, who are in charge of hiring help for the New Departure Manufacturing Company and E. L. Butt, who IS in charge of the Government Employment Agency in Waterbury, went to New Haven recently to inter vlew officials of the New Haven Com pany in regard to putting on an extra tram to run both ways between Water Dury and Bristol. 1t is stated that there are 7,000 men out of employment in that city and men are wanted by the hundreds in this city and more. will be wanted when the million-dollar huild- ing project of the New Departure Manufacturing Company are carried out, as they are to be within 90 days.
 They met A. B. Smith, general pas senger agent of the railroad and his assistant and talked over with them the question of a train to leave Water bury at 6:15 a. m. to run stoz Bristol m 70 minutes, making no stops on the way and due in this city at b AS. The tram would leave Bristol at night at 5:l5 and would be in Waterbury at 5 AS. Saturdays the return trip would leave Bristol at 12:l5 D. III. The regu- lar communication fare would be for round trip 2 cents. They found the railroad officials agreeable but they must consult the railroad management in Washington. In the meantime Sec retary James Gray will canvass the manufacturers of the town to find out what they need in men and the number that they would be likely to hire. The officials of the railroad figured that they would have to have at least H50 round trip passengers and for that number would be willing to try out the matter. There is no question about the manu- lecturers of the city requiring more than that number of men now and the num- Der would be increased to 500 with the completion of the new factory build ings now in process of creation. The railroad officials said that they had read much about Bristol and were ready to cooperate in helping the city along. The committee came back very much encouraged with the prospect of getting what they went after.

 A bill amending the law was pre- pared that eliminated the features ob- -noxious to organized labor. It was :!n- derstood that the judiciary committee favored the amendment but a short time ago the manufacturers sent out the famous s. O. s. signal and another hearing was held at which the snanu- lecturers were well represented The labor leaders. did not like the looks of this as thev claimed the unexpected re- opening of the matter did not give many interested III this cause an opportunity to attend the hearing. The YegIslative committee of the Connecticut Fedora tor of Labor feared that their work had been in vain. !. a-..~ .. *...

given them in this direction by Labor they propose to withdraw .heir coop eration from the Bakers unions In that event Organized Labor as whole will undoubtedly see no further aeces- sity for cooperating with the members of the Master Bakers association
 '1n the past when great out-of-town corporations endeavored to gain mar ket for their bread in New Haven Or ganized Labor, through the efforts of the local bakers unions, stood staunch- ly by the New Haven concerns and out of-town competition was reduced to minimum.
 Within :he past few weeks three large new bakeries have opened in New Haven, all good union concerns and, SO far as we are aware, not disposed to join tue Master Bakers association in its opposition to Organized Labor. That will help the situation materially and it is not improbable that the product of the big concerns from out of town, union concerns, will make its re-appear- anee in the stores in case Organized Labor IS forced to withdraw its CO., operation from the members of the Master Bakers association"
 F. The sanitation of bakeships was an- otEer matter discussed at the confer ence and there was general complaint that the law passed at recent session of the Legislature, calling for. the in staflation of lockers for the workrnen in bakeries was wholly disregarded. In spectors from the factory inspectors office 1t was reported, appear to feel that they have done their full duty when they order a bakeshop to he white washed. Complaints concerning the lack of lockers appear to be absolutely T1nayailinp These lockers are t,eree. sit in order that the men may keep themselves and their clothing clean and the Jaw is clear upon the subject-but the lockers continue to remain unpro- vided, according to the report of the delegates.
 The conference was attended by dele gates from Locals No. 8 and 30 of Hartford; 107, New Britain; 50, Mer- iden; 15s, Waterbury; 38 and 2I0, Bridgeport; II and 171, New Haven !; ZIG, MiddletoWn, and 1o6, Torrington.

Regulations for the enforcement of the new child labor tax provision of the revenue law of 1917 are announced By the Treasury Department. The regula- tions put a heavy penalty upon the en- ployment of child labor in all of the States.
 The Commissioner of Internal Rev enue holds that employment of the child for one day in conflict with the child labor tax provisions of the revenue law will subject the employers business to a lax of 10 per cent. of the net profits for the taxable year. -.
 Drafting of this provision followed closely upon the action of the Supreme Court in finding the Federal child labor law enacted two years ago rnconstitu- tionaL ~.,.., :...... .-..
 Officials are confident the present pro- visions will stand in all of the courts, as the taxing powers of the Federal Government have frequently been up- held by the Supreme Court. The new provision, while it is expected to efec- tually stop all child labor by prohibitive tax. is essentially tax and not re- strictive measure on interstate com- merce. ..t
 The provision went into effect yester- day and revenue collectors and inspect ors everywhere have been charged with it's strict enforcement. Special agents will be put into the field to check the records of children employed in any factory, industry, mine or quarry to de- ternine whether they are working III violation of the provisions of the tax measure.

From reports made by delegates to the Connecticut Joint Board of Bakers conference 1t Is evident that the com paratively new state organization of Master Bakers intends to give the Bakers unions as much opposition as possible. -
 There seems to be unaninity of op- position directed particularly toward Local No. II of New Haven because against night work and this attitude is plainly evidenced by the members of the Master Bakers association of New Haven. Delegates from other cities re- ported that the master bakers of their towns dwelt especially upon the activ- ities of Local No. II in this direction and evinced a desire to make the path of Local No. II anything but one of roses as consequence. A
 The opposition which has developed to Local No II appears to have taken on the form of opposition to all bakers unions throughout the state through the medium of the Master Bakers state or ganization and it would appear that the bakers will encounter difficulty in get ting satisfactory agreement signed up May when the present agreement ex- pires.
 A member of Local Mo- II in explain ing the situation to a representative ot The Connecticut Labor Press, yester- day. said:
 "Local No. II doesn't ask or get any more wages than the unions of other cities but it has made a successful fight against night work. Waterbury en- deavored to get the same thing last year but was unsuccessful. Other cities are desirous of abolishing night work. also. but are strongly opposed by the bosses. Local No. 11's success in this direction accounts for the feeling against it on the part of the master bakers throughout the state.
 'The great trouble with the master bakers of New Haven is that they have been so well protected against outside competition by the union bakers of New Haven and the Organized Labor move ment of the city that they have become unduly indepenoent and, forgetting that | their prosperity is due to the assistance
