Prediction Of Business Slump
 Fails to MaterialiZe

There seems to be little, if any , indication of q slump in business among the New Britain factories and census of the local industrial plants this morning shows that New Britain is in a prosperous condition, despite predictions that things would be slow during the spring and sum- mer. with a gradual picking Up in the fall. Prophets have been predicting freely that business would slump this spring, while a falling off in automobile trade is said by some to endanger the prosperity of New Britain factories.
 A checkup today shows that con- ditions are practically normal in this city. There is little indication of a slump, although few factories report any overtime. Practically no plant in the city is running the same working schedule throughout it's entire factory, but in general the factories are working the majority of their employes on the following schedule:
 Stanley Works: Five days at nine hours and five hours on Saturday, total 5o hours weekly. Stanley Rule and Level: Five days at 10 hours each and five hours on Saturday--total 55 hours. Landers, Frary & Clark-50 hours weekly.
 P. &. r. Corbin-5O hours weekly.
