Labor connected with the placed at the disposal of the railroad company in doing various kinds of work that would relieve conditions.
 In response to this cooperation the superintendent of the Waterbury office of the company. has sent the following letter to local manufac- turers:
 During the present trying condi- lions produced by the unprecedented weather of the last ten days our operation has been greatly inter- fered with. as you well know. Our situation has been greatly relieved through the courteous cooperation of many of our manufacturing friends. who were quick to realize that our ina bility to handle freight 1ra fife meant ultimately the shutting down of many plants. and quite d few of them volunteered assistance. while others responded quickly and cheer fully at our solicitation, which ha resulted in easing the stress to such an extent that We have been able to keep business moving, although not entirely satisfactory to either our selves or our manufa curing friends. Added to our severe trials have been the restrictive difficulties of em- bargoes. confiscation of materials, etc. which. associated together cer- tainly create very trying times for all.
 Personally. it is very much ap- preciated by the superintendent, the efforts made by the manufacturinC interests to render assistance and we wish to take this opportunity to eX tend thanks to all of those who were able to come to the relief of the company and at the same time con- Ney to the manufacturers the view of connecting the railroad and manufacturing business. believing Ihem to be inseparable and q practi- cal unity; also to express a wish that at some future time the manufacturers may have the bene- fit of the cooperation of the rail- road company
