Automobile distributors and gar.

Of their business that was astonish-
ing to some OF them In q largely at

Automobile Trades association In the
Elks hall, Friday noon. The meeting
followed the buffet luncheon served
by Quanrud, Brink and Reibold. The
closeup was q talk on profit oppor-

by Aron N. Benson, Of Minneapolis,
secretary Of the Northwest Automo-
bile Trades association.
The audience learned from Secre.
tary Benson that the automotive in
dustry was the leading industry Of
the country. with slaughtering Of
meat animals second, steel production
third. and petroleum industry fourth.
The distributors learned that they
had cast overheard the best feature OF
their business when they discarded
the sale OF oil and the making Of re.
pairs. They learned that the biggest
profits are In this part Of the busi-
ness. Also that rs per cent of auto
mobile sales are due to the repair,

while automobile statesmen have but

Autos Lead In Profits

A considerable quantity of ammun-

was augmented today with arrival Of

was taken at meeting of the Hart ford common council last night when Alderman Thomas J. Kelley filed a resolution which was passed, requesting Mayor Patterson to ad- wise the city unemployment commit tee to cooperate with the officials ot the Hartford Rubber Works in se- curing employment for those who will be left without jobs when the Hartford factory closes. Charles B.. Cook. vice president of the Royal Typewriter Co. is chairman of the committee.
 The factory closing. besides throw ing 1,400 people out of work, takes away from Hartford one of it's big gest industrial payrolls. Practically all of the money earned at the plant has been either spent in Hart ford or deposited in Hartford banks. Officials of the Rubber Works were of the opinion that the men would be absorbed in other lines in short time.
 Employees at the plant were down. cast when the news was spread of the shut down. They fear a serious lack of employment for unskilled labor and the situation is more serious when it is learned that lear ly 70 per cent of the workers there are married. many of them having large families.
 Unskilled Labor Market
 Manager Kelley of the Manufac- turers' Association of Hartford ,eun- tw. stated yesterday that although the association was sorry to hear o1 the company's departure from Hart, ford. there was no doubt tha, machinists would readily find em. ployment and the labor will be ab sorbed. Certain specialists in rub Der manufacture may have to go tt | other rubber centers for employ ment. However, the majority of tn, men are not skilled and these vii probably find employment in roas building, general building operations or on farms, he said. He stated tha this time of the year. there Is al ways a demand for unskilled labo in these divisions of employment The state department of labor, al thought not disposed 10 view th situation with alarm, admitted tha the market for unskilled labor a present is glutted."

Taking off the two tires he proceeded to Meriden to have them repaired leaving his helper. John Quinn on the truck. Returning at about 4af he called for Quinn to give him a hand in replacing the tires. Quinn had just left the truck when South. wick. driving from Hartford to New York. struck the rear end of th& truck knocking it off the jacks.

HARTFORD ID LOSE:
 BIG RUBBER PLANT
1,N0 Workers Have Had An-
 nual Payroll of S2,M,O0O

Hartford, Aug. 20-Fourteen hun dred men will be thrown out of em- ployment and an annual payroll of more than s2,500.000 will be lost to Hartford on August 2s when opera tions at the Hartford Rubber Works, a division of the United States Rub her Co.,, will cease and the plant will be shifted to the Detroit plant of the corporation.
 The decision of the company to close the Hartford plant, was made known to the foremen of the plant yesterday afternoon by L. B. Martin, factory manager. As compensation for the loss of work, the factory manager explained at gathering Of the foremen that the company would give extra pay to it's em- ployes. The plan is to give men over 45 years of age who have worked at the plant 10 years or more a weeks pay for every year they have been. in the employ of the concern, Men under 45 years of age who were employed for Is years or more, vii, be recompensed in the same man. ner. Others on the payroll will re- ceive two weeks pay.
 Making $500 Tires Daily
 The Hartford plant has been pro- ducing $500 tires day. It is thought that some of the employed may go to Detroit to work in the larger plant but no word had been received in Hartford as to the re- tention of any employees. Mayor Patterson of Hartford and Thomas J. Kelley manager of the Manufac- turers' Association. with the city council in Hartford. have set about to try to find work for the 1,4OO men who will be deprived of thew jobs. There is already a surplus of unskilled labor in this section of the country.
 Mr. Martin was doubtful that many of the men would move into the rubber industry in other fields Few of the men empyoyed at the Hartford plant are specialists in tn . work. It is understood that F. l. Bryant. manager at the Detroit plant and former manager in Hart ford. will visit the plant before the shut down to select skilled labor to go to Detroit. Employees have been advised to secure employmen, Wherever possible even if they have to leave before August 2s.
