KEPT wILLIMANrIC INDUSTRIES

-
Steady work in few important lines
Of Willimantics industries with result
ant larger payrolls than last year have
enabled this city to show a gain in pay
roll distribution over the previous year,
although its mills and rlanufa ctories have
generally experienced a lessened volume
of business. Approximately 1000 wage
earners in the city received wages OF
s4199,01S in 1920 where the figure was
$3,752,S23 in 1919, while value of pro-
duct was $14544,o44.
Cotton mills just about repeated the
figures of the preceding year, showing
S402.S07 in wages and $1,256,313 in pro-
duct in 1920 to S399076 in wages and
$1.535,316 in product in 1919
Manufacturers in the silk and velvet
line fell off somewhat from a year ago,
with a wage account of 1886. 900 in 1920
as against $45O.009 in 1919 and product
value of $2,e4o,0oo to $3,114,O00
Machinery and foundry lines did q
slightly smaller business, having wage
totals of $20o.3S6 and product value Of
s53S.731 which compared with S2S7,067
and s63o,743 in 1919. In number of
industries whose figures are assembled
under general classification there were
enough of substantial gains to show a
wage distribution of $3210,S75 in 1920
where it was S2.e66 $50 in 1919 and a
production of $10,10s,0O against So
$4,000.

THE DAMNABLE ARBUCKLE

All daily papers of the country have,
for the past few days, been dishing out
for the reading public big morsels of
disgusting, repulsive, louthsome, abom-
mating and uauseating news relative
to the conduct of one Fatty Ar
buckle, reputed funny man of the
screen or moving picture films. 1t has
developed that previous to his last
mortiferous act he had done enough in
the way of immoral and seductive con-
duct to have placed him behind the bars
for life for the protection and safety
of the young of the opposite sex, if
nothing else. His last caper is simply
horrible the more horrible because of
the death which soon followed. 1t IS
Arbuckles admission that he had
schemed five years to decoy and destroy
the character cher priceless capitaD of
the charming girl now dead. The brute
Get him out of the way Send him to
the devil, his only fit companion
All managers of picture shows should
hereafter reject all films wherein Ar
buckle is an actor; and if this reason
able and just move is not made, then
the showgoers should stamp out Ar
buckle by refusing to attend and at the
same time make their reason public.
The white press of the big cities of
the country is assuming a like attitude
relative to films showing Arbuckle But
what is wearisome is the way some
women are crying "ffty-ffty." This
cannot be just in the light of facts. He
did all the Turing was at it for five
years according to his own boasting adj
mission while there is not a word to
show that the girl INDUCED in the de-
grading game of enticing.

CRISES IN HIGHWAY SITUATION.

The highway movement in Wisconsin
faces a perplexing crises. For the first
time since the original state aid act
was passed. which was in 1911, the leg
islature adjourned this year without
making the usual appropriation for
highway work
1t has been suggested that the auto
mobile license fees should be used to
meet the federal aid, and there is good
opinion which holds that under the law
the state will be required to do this,
follow ing the provisions Of the Trunk
Highway act of 1917 This would
mean that either large part OF the
patrol maintenance would have to be
abandoned, or that the counties would
be compelled to raise taxes in the sum
of over 81, 600. 600 to keep up the work.
Members of the various county road
and bridge committees who meet this
fall to discuss plans for road work will
probably detect the gravity of the stu
alton.
