MATTATUCKS TO BE FITTED AT HARTFORD
THE MUTUALAID
 ROLL GROWING
Charles J. Allen, Drive Di- rector, Pleased at Num-
 Der of New Pledges
MANY STILL IN NEED

Six large local firms were added to the Mutual Aid Unemployment Funds honor roll today. They are the Waterbury Clock company. the Bristol company. the Shoe Hardware company. the Patent Button company, the Citizens Coal company and M. J. Daly and Sons.
 The signing of pledge cards is going on daily in other local fac- tories and it is expected that early next week practically every factory fin the city will be ready to report. The indications are that a great many will be able to report that their emploes have subscribed 100 per cent.
 Charles J. Allen, drive director is much encouraged as a result of the 100 per cent enrollments re- ported during the present week and the reports from his assistants which indicate that many persons who have not contributed to the fund in the past are signing up in the present drive.
 New pledges, MT Allen emphas- iized today, are the all important thing in the present drive. Unless a large number are secured the Mutual Aid fund, which has help ed thousands of Waterburians throughout the depression, provid- ing them with work, food, clothing, fuel and the other necessities of life will fail. With the end of the depression in sight that cannot happen. MT Allen says. He stress ed again today the necessity of all who can helping their fellow man and neighbor saying that although conditions are picking up the number of persons on the unem- ployment list is increasing, due to the fact that so many people who have been trying to "carry-on" with what little funds they had saved are becoming penniless. He also called attention to the fact that although the pledges are sign ed for year they will be cancelled as soon as people get back to work and conditions warrant it.

Employment Gain
During February
Is Encouraging.
Is Not Large But Exceeds
l0-Year Average, Miss
Perkins Reports

WASHINGTON. Mar. so. (UP)
Miss Frances Perkins, President
Roosevelt's industrious new sec
rotary of labor, yesterday report
ed a slight rise in employment
during February in her first sta
tistics published on the subject
since taking office. -.
Miss Perkins made the figures
public with a brief outline of. the
significance at a press conference
n her office while reporters gath
cred around her desk. She found
that the gain, slight as it was, was
due to seasonal conditions and
that the amount of employment
was still far below that Of last
year.
The figures which Miss Perkins
held in her hand. revealed that the
index figure of employment for
February was 57.5 per cent, an
increase of 1.6 per cent. over the
January figures.
, While slight and seasonal, the
secretary found that the increase
was still somewhat above the sea-
sonal gains for the ten year aver
age preceding 1888. She also
found encouragement in the fact
that while the number of men
employed only increased 1.6 per
cent. the. amount. of wages paid
them was IL per cent greater
than in January. This was taken
as an indication that those on part
time employment are working
more.
