Moline's population. as shown In
the 1920 census is 30.7O9. This is
an increase Of 6.5l0. or 26.9 per cent
over the population OF 1910. The
Plow city's population was 24.19s In
1910, 17,94S in 1900 and $4,000 in
1890.
Rock Islands returns were sent
to Washington at the same time as
those from Moline, but while the
total for the latter city was given
out this morning at the capital there
was no indication as to when the
Rock Island count will be made
public.
Apparently expectation that Rock
Island county's gain would bring
it's total to 100000 this year will
not be realized. Rock Islands in
crease. presumably. is about the
same as that Of Moline, while the
county outside the two cities prob
ably has not grown much more than
either of them. This would mean .
total increase Of about twenty thou

10 years ago was 70.404. 1t should

LABOR SUPPLY.

It is apparent that decreases in pro- duction are releasing from employ ment many industrial workers in Con- necticut. There are indications that other reductions irl personnel may be expected.
 At the same time, some mem bers of the Manufacturers association are understood to require additional labor. In order that unemployment in Connecticut may be mininlized as far as practicable, and in the interests Of members requiring additional labor, the state manufacturers asso citation will endeavor to direct such members to those quarters where we are advised surplus of labor has been created.
 Accordingly, it invites members who have reduced or plan to reduce the number of their employees. to advise as to the number and kinds of work CTS released. This does not refer, of course, to employees released because of inefhciency or regarded as other wise undesirable. It invites members seeking additional workers to advise of their requirements.
 The association is not proposing in this matter the establishment of labor bureau. It proposes only to lend it's service to direct demand to sources of supply. and to this end the cooperation of members. and especially their local organiza tions. where S1Icf exisSs
