WIN FOUR OUT OF TEN PRIZES
One Day Tournament Under
Auspices of State Associa-
ton at Local'Links Proves
Successful.

state one day golf tournament held

yesterday under the auspices of the
Connecticut State Golf association,

fered for the play. The home play
ers we're outnumbered by the visitors,
however. There were 73 entrants in
the affair. The tournament was one
of series of six one day affairs which
are being held this summer over

the prizes and the state association
the other half. Yesterdays affair was
the fourth in the series, the two to
follow being scheduled for the Hart
ford Country club and the Highland

Yesterday morning saw 50 entries,
there being four who entered in the
afternoon and played but IS noles.
The weather at all times during the
day was conducive to good golf and
the fairways in such condition that
long trolls on drives were to be ex-
pected. Notwithstanding these facts
there were no striking features in the
play. nor no exceptionally low scores.
Good golf was the rule, however. One
of the freak occurrences of the day,
and the only one that was evident
from scores was nine consecutive
holes Che second nine)' played in
for every hole, short and long, as
they came. R. M. Armstrong. of New
Haven. had this freak nine to his
credit and it figured in the winning
scores. Bobby jones'" of Atlanta
made a similar score over the Shuttle
Meadow course in 1918, otherwise the
feat has not been duplicated as far
as is known.
R. w. Pride, professional at Race
Brooke Country club acted as starter
and arbiter Of disputes for the large
field.

TEXTILE MILL OWNERS WALLOP

Give Them Christmas Presents of Short Time or Lay Off
 Indefinitely.


 Norwich, Dec. I5.-An industrial slump has hit the local industries, es- pecia1ly the textile mills, several of them cosing down for severa days each week, or cutting the operating forces to some extent. The J. B. Martin Company, employing about 500 operatives, has posted notices that hereafter the plant will operate on a three day schedule. Brainard & Arm strong Company has moved part of their plant to New London from here, work being sufficient in that city to keep their operatives busy. The American Woolen Company plants are also slowing up and have laid off the night shift and work is slack for day shifts.
 The Shetucket Company plant one of the large mills in the city has practically closed down, throwing some 200 operatives out of work, and 1t Is understood that the plant is being offered for sale.
 Other plants are also feeling the slack times and will probably cut their working hours or reduce the number of operatives employed ii business does not increase within a few weeks.

 ing All Lines.

The first public move toward crea- ting a permanent fund for impar t1al investigation in economic, social and industrial science was announced this week, with formation in New York Iof the Economic Foundation and election of seven trustees from hnan- cial, labor and academic circles. Funds for the foundation will be derived from sources not yet made public The National Bureau of Eco homie Research, 474 West 24th street, will conduct Investigations for the foundation, it was announced
 Pointing out the need for facts as an antidote to destructive propa- ganda, Melcom C. Rorty, president of the bureau, declared at a luncheon committee of the bureau at the Bankers Club, I2o Broadway:
 T have seen war in the making in Europe I have talked with states men, journalists, bankers and indus trial leaders of the two countries in- volved and on both sides. They have said: We have nothing to quarrel about We have not the slightest real cause for war
 "When the facts are searched out, the only possible cause of conflict ap- pears to lie in the activities of two arms companies which, very success full for their own purposes, have aroused warlike feelings in the two countries.
 "So long as man shall work and produce, and so long as the product shall be divided and distributed" MT. Rorty continued, ''so long will there be new economic problems rising and new needs for sane, intelligent and impartial determination of those facts upon which economic determinations must be based"
 Trustees who attended the luncheon were Owen D. Young, General Elec- tric Company; James Byrne, attor- ney; Prof. George F. Warren, Cornell University, and Nicholas Kelley, at torney. The other trustees are Thomas w. Lamont of J. F. Morgan & Co.,; John Frey of the American Federation of Labor and Prof. E. R. A. Seligman of Columbia University.
 Bylaws of the foundation include opportunity for colleges and uni versailles to make successive nomi- nations to the board of trustees, pro- viding the impartialiy and balance of the board is maintained.

Department of Labor which was issued yesterday states that the most important question in connection with women in industry in their earnings. Of 122,OOO women for whom the Bureau secured wage figures during the past year, less than one-third earned as much as SIG during one week.

These wages were higher, however, than in any of the ten other States, except Rhode Island, where investigations have been made by the Bureau.
