This Is Increase in This Country
 in Past Seven Years
BY GEORGE 1T. MANNING

BY GEORGE IT. MANNING
 (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald).
 Washington. D. C.. April l2.-The hardware industry has increased its activity about sixty per cent over the last seven years, while at the same time the number of establishments has shown light but steady decrease.

 Statistics compiled by the Depart ment of Commerce on this industry include reports from establishments engaged in manufacturing locks and hardware for builders, pianos and or gans, vehicles. trunks, suitcases. cas- kets. furniture, etc. The industry justification cannot be considered as covering all hardware manufactured, as there is considerable overlapping with industries such as brass, bronze, and copper products, "cutlery and edge tools" Foundry and machine shop products .stamped and cnam- eled ware," etc. The data as reported by these industries are not in suf :. ficent detail to permit an estimate Of the amount of such overlapping.
 The value of products reported by this industry was in 1914 s73,320.0o in 1921, the value was s116,6S9, 900. In 1919. the big year for business, the products were valued at $154,525,0 900.
 The number of establishments en- gagged in the industry was in 1914, 442; in 1919, 474 and in 1921, 43o. The number of wage earners in each of the three years was 41,213; 42,- 5o5; and 33,so2, respectively. Wages paid totalled $22,583, 900: $45,230. 900, and $34,S49,000.
 Of the 43O establishments reporting products valued at more than $5,ooo in 1921, 55 were in Connecticut, s5 in Illinois, 75 in New York and 40 in Pennsylvania.
 Employment during the year was fairly stable, the smallest number en- gagged during any one month having been 30,719, in July. This number was S4 per cent of the greatest num- Der, which was 36.624, in January.

MUsKRAT PEIITS SCARCE.
Late Winter Cuts Vermont Spring
 Industry to Low Point.

Rutland Vt, April 12-Continuance of winter weather into April has al- most entirely prevented the spring harvest of muskrat belts in Vermont. The industry usually nets trappers, ranging from the professional to the farmers boy, about $50,000 a year. This season the number of animals taken will be not more than 35 per cent of the average, it is estimated.
 The trapping commences as soon as the ice has left the streams and the water has begun to drop after the freshets. This year the banks of rivers and brooks have been declined until well into the month, and the water has not yet reached its maxi mum height. The laws provide that trapping must stop April IS.
