Newgate Prison
 Open for Season
Many Attractions Await Visitors at Famous
 Site

The old prison at East Granby To- cated on the western slope of Tal- colt mountain, which has for so many generations been d mecca for sightseers and curiosity seekers, is now open for the season.
 Boys and girls in their autos will soon be leaving the main highway at either Granby. East Granby, Suf- field or Windsor Locks and win their way over the crossroads to the broad mountainous plateau from which can be seen one of the most beautiful views in New England.
 At the old prison, guides are in attendance and visitors are told nu- merous stirring tales of prison life. After seeing all that remains in the shape of pottering brick and falling stone of an investment by the state of over one-half q million dollars, the bows of the earth into mines one is conducted by the guide into and dungeons where artistocratic tories were shackled alongside the incorrigible villains. You will hear the tale of constant instruction. re- bellion. and mutiny.
 For over 220 years this spot has attracted attention. It is the site of the oldest copper mine in Amer ica, the oldest Connecticut States prison, and also the site of Newgate Tavern, famous for it's food since '1763. Ones education is not com plete until he has visited thsi unique, historic spot. Children, especially, will enjoy the many varieties of ani- mals in and around the prison walls. For many years Newgate has been n popular rendezvous for motorists on Sunday afternoons.

business recessions such as the cur rent one and reducing employment 12 to IS per cent below correspond ing seasons of more prosperous years and figuring in the 24.5 per cent of factory employment from July, 1929 to January, 1881.
 Pathological, the displacement of workers by machines. referred to as a readjustment problem which now causes a majority of affected workers to go for long periods with out work although theoretically eventually creating more jobs than it destroys.
 Must Halt Punctuation
 RegulariZation of employment is achieved or approached by co-ordin ating production and distribution policies so as to level off violent fluctuations both in volume of out put and total sales, the committee says. Next come personnel policies relating to employment security for individuals.
 Systematic sales forecasting Is essential. Thus the Eastman Kodak Co. solved the problem of a highly seasonal market so that in 1929 the number of it's employees deviated less than 1 percent from the average number for the year. The policy is to schedule comparatively con- stant volume of production for each month of the year, with 20 per cent cut during the July-August va cation season. The Walworth Co.,, makers of valves and fittings, found it could well afford to eliminate about 4,00O of it's 5000 customers, estimate advance sales and let in- ventory fiuctuate instcad' of produce tion.
 President Alvan Macauley of the Packard Motor Car Go. told the committee that regulariZation of production and employment costs money in capital investment and storage facilities, but is "far more than offset by lower production costs, by the contentment of en- ployes, by their zeal and loyalty and by lessening the turnover in labor which is always expensive"
 Workers Benefit
 "In 1919, the Procter X Gamble Co, makers of soap, varied 65 per cent in the number of employees at it's principal plant. By selling to retailers, budgeting sales and coor- dinating production schedules it had reduced that to per cent in 1929 and guaranteed AS weeks continu- ous work each year to it's perman- ent force. Simplification and stan- dardization, in which great strides have been made by many concerns, has also served to stabilize produc- tion and employment.
 The Campbell Soup Go, concen- trating on soup but diversifying kinds, regularizes production mak- ing tomato soup in late summer and fall, vegetable soup, consomme and bouillon in fall and winter, aspara-

p,s s6up in spring, pea and chicken som in early summer and celery som in early fall. Besides diversi- fying products, companies have often stimulated off-season purchase or their goods.
 To meet the problem of individual employment security, the four prin- cipal method adopted have been:
 1-Flexible working periods to provide more equitable dlstriputIon of available work.
 2-Inter-c r-company transfer of em- ployes.
 3-Unemployment reserve funds
 4-Dismissal wages and other fin- ancial assistance.
 In the 1927-28 business recession. three -fourths of companies whose methods were surveyed reported that they had resorted to working time reduction before laying any one off. Even larger proportion, 1t appears, did that in 1880. The Del aware & Hudson Railroad, with an elastic work day system, has cut its labor turnover IS per cent in nine years.
 Prevent Loss of Income
 Such systems do not sustain pur- chasing power and proportionately reduce individual earnings, but do prevent complete loss of income, for employees and save heavy expenses of recruiting and training new forces when full tmie operation resumes. Several large manufacturing con- cerns definitely plan to transfer em- ployes from one type of job to an- other when necessary and some even train employees to be ready to accept other jobs in the same plant. The growth of private plans for indem- nifying the unemployed has pro ceeded slowly and along highly in- dividualistic lines, the committee says.
 Stabilization efforts of trade asso ciations and regional or local com mercial or civci groups, the commit tee notes, have thus far largely been confined to campaigns of an educa- tional nature.

ment under the presidency of Dr Johnson was held. Dr Johnson had not intended to resign the presidency until after the next commencement. but the sudden death of his wife in February, 1763, led him to re- linquish his office. On retiring from the college, Dr Johnson took up his residence with his son at Stratford, and became rector of Christ church. He died on January 6. 1772 and was buried in the chancel of Christ church.
 When the independence of the United States had been confirmed by the treaty of peace with Great Britain in 1783, the body of gove- nors of Kings college petitioned the legislature of the State of New York to elevate the college into a university and to make such altera- tions in the charter as the changed condition of affairs might demand.
 The legislature passed. May 1, 17S4, An Act for granting certain privileges to the college heretofore called Kings college, for altering the name and Charter thereof, and erecting an University within the State"
 Dr William Samuel Johnson was unanimously elected president or Columbia college in May, 17S7. He was graduted fom Yale college in 1744 with the E. A. degree and re- ceived the M. A. fom Harvard three years later. He practiced law, and repeatedly represented his county in the Colonial Assembly of Connecti- cut. In 1765 he was q delegate fom Connecticut to a congress of Colonies held in New York. Dr Johnson was selected as spec ial agent of Connecticut to the court of Great Britain in 1766 to manage case of importance involving title to a large tract of land and "evcn the charactered rights of the pro- vince. Sc spent nearly five years in this enterprise.
 After his return he filled, success siveIy, the offices of the judge of .he superior court of Connecticut, mem Der of the council of Connecticut, representative in congress, and a delegate to the convention which famed the constitution of the United States. Not long after his accept ance of the presidency of Columbia college, he was chosen United States senator from Connecticut under the new constitution.
 Dr Johnson combined the duties of the presidency and the senato- ship until the sittings of congress were removed from New York to Philadelphia, when he resigned the | senatorship. He continued as presi- dent of the college until 1900.

of this group, more than 200 com panies had begun systematic pro- grams to provide maximum contin- uity of employment. Early in 1930 with the depression well begun, more than 300 industrial establish ments in New York state were found to have adopted stabilization poli- cies and there were hundreds of others throughout the country. But 1t is admitted that employment reg ularization programs have been far too limited in range and scope to have an appreciable effect on gen. eral employment fluctuations.
 The committee cites the three principal types of unemployment:

Washington The management of every Kind of business enterprise can exert some measure of control over the economic forcess which produce intermittent unemployment.
 There is scarcely a line of indus try in which some American com pany has not effected an appreciable reduction in irregularity of em- ployment.
 It is only within the past year that in the United States the con- ception of unemployment as pri- mary responsibility of business men has received general acceptance.
 The year 1881 may be expected to mark the beginning of period in which vast number of employers will give concentrated attention to the amelioration of unemployment.
 These are among the findings of Q sub-committe on employment reg ularization of the American Section of the International Chamber of Commerce which included some of the country's Industrial leaders and highly qualified experts.
