Migrants in Ohio

When the World War brought about
the influx of Negro migrants to fill the
gaps in northern industries, Ohio re-
ceived very large percentage of the
northward newcomers. The states in
dustries were severely taxed in meet
ing the demands Of war consumption.
Ohio factories took on Negro labor in
increasing groups. These groups
brought to the state new social prob
lens and new and perplexing ques-
tons in industrial relations and en-
ployment opportunities. The States
welfare resources were kept busy in
the necessary interracial adjustments.
Throughout the period of early adjust
ment. Governor Willis so directed the
various Offices Of the State as to give
aid and comfort both to employers and
employees. His policies were regarded
favorably by the great industries and

was given its chance in Ohio; and
when the tremendous demand fell of,
the unemployment and other discon-
certing adjustments were but slightly
| felt in the Buckeye State. It is fact
that the turnover of Negro labor In
the evolution from War to Peace was
felt less in Ohio than it was in any
other central Western State; and the
marked efficiency, permanency. apd
prosperity Of Negro labor today in
Ohio Is largely due to the broad and
liberal policies pursued under the ex-
Iecutive direction of Governor Frank

TOWN VOTES PURCHASE
 OF EASTFORD CHURCH
BUILDING ERECTED IN 1s47 VIRTUALLY A GIFT-To BE USED FOR CIVIC PURPOSES LIBRARY AND
 COMMUNITY CENTER
Highway Commissioners Proposition Build Highway
 Approved.

The Methodist church was built in is47 and for many years was the scene of extensive religious activities. Several of it's pastors gained wide prominence. When the railroad was completed from Boston to New York. however. business and population was transferred to more eongested centers. on account of which church member ship dwindled until less than thirty members remain. For some time the Methodists and Congregationalists held services alternately summer and winter. Saturdays action of the trus- tees presents a rare opportunity for the town to secure what has long been needed-a community house.
 After the above church action was taken the special town meeting was called and clause inserted in the warning to see if the town would ae- cept the offer of the church society.
 A Link In Chain
 The piece of road to be built is seven-eighths of mile long. It leads out of the village ending at the Wood stock town line. Should the road now being built from Taylor's corner to West Woodstock ever be carried through to Eastford 1t would join the proposed seven-eiehths mile stretch in entering Eastford Village It is the hope of Eastford that the building of the road will awaken a desire and effort on the part of the adjoining town to prevail upon the state to con- tinue the road now building through to Eastford This would give East ford people new and shorter route to Putnam. also to Southbridge.

 Others Speak
 F.. (. Rogers spoke along similar lines stating that building there would be only an ornament. He suggested that the land was suitable for an armory.
 | A. $. Macdonald said that he had talked with a number ef citizens and that there was no question but that the opinion was that some other site would be preferable. but the question as Co whether the people would rather have new building there or none af all was another matter
 Others spoke briefly on the ques- ton and it Was plain that the senti- ment was that the governments site was not q desirable one.

At a special town meeting held in Eastford Monday afternoon it was vot- ed to purchase the Methodist Episco- pal church for S200 and also to ac- cept the proposition of State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald for a piece of state aid road from the cen ter to the Woodstock line.
 While the town pays S200 for the church building the conveyance to the town is in affect gift as the pro- perty is valuable one. On account of the bylaws or the manner in which the property was held it could not be turned over gratuitously so the nomi- nal sum of S200 was made the pur- chase price.
 The building will be used for lib- rary. for civic purposes and for a community house, and will fill need of the village.

RETALIATION HELD
 UP TEMPORARILY
Municipal Service Company Has Changed Its Status,
 Mir. Linder Retiring
Assessors Advised by Tax Commis-
 sioner to Go Slowly

Through no fault of the assessors or the committee appointed to devise a method of reassessment of property values for taxation purposes the work has been held up temporarily. This s due to changes in the personnel of the Municipal Service Corporation of New Britain, the concern to whom 1t was expected the contract to do the work would be let.
 Thomas Linder, an officer of tke corporation. was the man with whom the committee did business and relied upon fo supervise the work if the contract was awarded this company. Following the appropriation being made Mr. Linder was requested to state how soon his company could be- gin Che work
 Days passed and nothing was heard from Mr. Liuder Arthur O. Lamb. another officer of the company. came to Putnam. He stated that the per sonnel of the corporation had been changed and that he and Mir. Linder were working together. Then came F. A Mccarthy. another officer, who said that Lamb was out of the con cern and that he and Mir. Linder were working together.
 Varied Statements
 The varied statements of the two men greatly concerned the assessors and finally Mir. Linder was reaehe i on the telephone. He said that he was out of the company altogether and only acted in an advisory capacity.
 It was Mir. Linder who impressed the committee as a man well able to carry out the work in satisfactory manner With Mr. Linder out of the concern the assessors felt that the en- tire aspect of the case had changed. Mir Linder gave no assurance that he would supervise the work except e say that he would probably" act in an advisory capacity.
 Mr. Lamb was in Putnam agaln Thursday and met the board of assess ors and members of the committee in conference. Tax Commissionev Blodgett has also been asked for ad vice. The commissioner advises .he assessors to proceed slowly. \ con. ference will be held with the commis. sioner in the near future.
 l. is the desire of all concerned to begin work as soon as possible. But above the desire for haste looms the desire Co have the work done properly and in a manner that will leave tho town officials in a position to keer the system up after the experts turn il over.

NEED S5,000 MORE
 FOR TRADE SCHOOL
Addition Can Not Be Built For 30.000.-Special Town
 Meeting Called
Lowest Bid s3o.455 Does Not Include
 Additional Items

4 special town meeting has been warned for next Friday afternoon at o'clock Standard rime1 to sec il the town will vote an additional S5.- GOO to be used in building the new ad. dition to the Putnam State Trade school. This action was decided on at a joint meeting of the building com mittee and school board held Thurs day afternoon, when 1t was disclosed that the S30,o00 appropriation would be inadequate.
 Such additional items as the rear rangement of partitions to aecemmo- date new department arrangements. interior painting. electric firing for light and power. and architects fees. were not included in the plans and specifications submitted for bids.
 The original bids were beyond St0.- 000. Following the opening of these bids the committee revised the plans and specifications. eliminating many items in order to reduce the cost. | is felt now that the cost of construe ton. through this revision. has been reduced to the lowest possible amoant consistent with good construction The encouragement of the interior parti- tions and tho changing of power units. upon closer investigation. made apparent more expenditures than at first anticipated.
 The Bids
 The bids on the revised plans and specifications were as follows F. n. Ward Co.,. Worcester. SIT .3G100s : Central Engineering Go. pawtaeket, S39 .40l %; A. F Smiley Construction Company. raWtucket, S3S. .iSt.00 Rowley Construction Company. Paw tucket, S36.OT4.00; Tracy Bros, Dan bury, S35. .757.00; Pierre II. Myers Putnam, $35 5.42400; H. Wales Lines Co.,, Meriden, S33.s30; Demais Bou. lais, Danielson, $50 ,455.
 If the contract is let to the lowest bidder it is still $455 above the appro. priation without including the addi- tional items above enumerated. II is estimated that in order Go take care of the additional items the S5 900 tt be asked for at the town meeting will be necessary
 The building committee has donc everything possible to keep within the appropriation. but without success That the town will appropriate tho necessary 5000 next Friday seemi assured, as the vote to build the ad dition was unanimous
