.DANIELS0N AND PUTNAM NEWS
PUTNAM

Upwards of 200 persons are thrown out of work here indefinitely as the re- suit of the closing of the plant of the Putnam Woolen company, one of the old est established manufacturing concerns of the city. Cancellations Of orders that have continued to come in during the past month are said to be respon- sible for the suspension of operations at the plant, which has been rushed with bushes for the past five years.
 The stopping of the mill is indicative of the reaction that has been manifest ing itself in the woolen industry throughout New England during the past few weeks, notwithstanding the fact that a new advance in wages, approxi- mating 15 per cent. is announced to be effective May 31 for workers in many woolen and worsted plants in this sec- ton of New England.
 It was very strange Friday to see, for the first time in number of years, groups of men walking about the streets and out of job. The situation is differ ent from that of operatives who have been loa1ng at different times during the past few months here on account of strikes.
 l While there is plenty of work in other lines in the city and in the simmediate vicinity, the stopping of even one plant
 here has caused many to pause and con,
 sider what is going on in the land. It is likely that most of the opera ! tives who are out of work will have lit
 tie difficulty in finding some kind ot
 employment until such time as the Put nam Woolen company resumes opera
 tions.
 There is no stacking up in the cotton l silk or tire fabric business here. At tn, plant of the Manhasset company, manu
