Store on Union street February 4.
Two others found in the doorway,

time for all of us. We are work.
ing to bring increased orders to
Waterbury, and keep our en-
ployes busy, and the present
problems of business are nothing
to 1aughingly pass over"
1t Is estimated that over 10000
factory employees will benefit by the
10 per cent raise agreed upon in
the Chase, American Brass and
Scovill plants. The raise now is for
employees on an hourly basis. Piece
workers are expected to be taken
care of momentarily.
| New Deal" Program Supported
| That the NEW deal' program is
on the upgrade in Waterbury is
evidenced by the figures obtained by
the Democrat. The increases order.
ed in the three large plants were in
addition to the increases that went
into effect nine months or so ago.
The increases ordered are effective
as of last Monday. With hourly
workers increased and with piece
workers to be taken care Of very
soon, the spending volume in Wa
| terbury Is expected to be increased.
Salaried workers are not included
in the increases, 1t is understood.
Waterbury Clock Adds 500
The Waterbury Clock company
stated today that while no increases
had been ordered the number of
employees on the payroll had been
jumped 500 during March. This
brings the payroll of the concern
well over the 1000 mark.
The Lux Clock company has
| placed it's workers on q six-dfy
| basis and there is no more room
in the plant for additional help, it
was explained this morning.
All of the increases ordered
were of voluntary nature and
| absolutely showed a spirit of CO.
operation on the part of the manu-
facturers with the presidents call
for assistance in the drive to bring
about an end to the depression"
So called.
In the Chase company the Wa
terbury Manufacturing company
was not included for the present.
Hourly rates and piece work pay
are now being studied and an an
nouncement is expected within q
week or so. In the rolling mills and
the metal works notices of the in
crease were posted.
According to Il. o. Goss of the
Scovill Manufacturing company,
! hourly and piece work raises went
into effect on Sunday In the roll
ing mills. The piece work rates in
the manufacturing departments are
still under consideration.
John A. Coe of the American
Brass company stated that in
| creases had been ordered In all
departments. There is the possible
ity that hourly and piece workers
| in the American Brass company
will come under the 10 per cent
| increase order.
Needless to say. the action on the
part of the Chase, American Brass
and Scovill companies in ordering
| the raises was the subject of
much favorable comment today
throughout the city. The employees.
themselves, were jubilant and SO
were the businessmen of the city
| and the citizenry in general. The
slogan heard on all sides was for

gram and not leave all the task tC
the government has been met iT
apparently. Mr. Chase's
statement of today follows:
at is very serious thing to
raise wages in a time that COM
panies are not making profits.
Not only does 1t call for greater
optimism concerning the future,
but 1t means a very real loss to
our companies at this time. Both
in our mill and in our manufac-
turing plant there are many
contracts that have been taken
based on the present cost of pro-
ducing the articles. An increase
in the cost of labor means an
increase in this cost, but we can
not get an increase In the price
we will receive from our GUS
toners on these contracts. BUSH
ness at the present time Is ex-
tremely competitive, and most of
1t is taken on a very narrow
margin. In many cases this mar
row margin of profit will be
wiped out by the increase in
labor costs, and though future
sufficient to cover the increased
cost of labor, we will not be
able to change the orders we
now have on our books.
II notice that a statement in
the morning Republican said:
Contracts and orders on file
were figured at prices which call
for the present wage scale, and
a raise will mean that profits
will be cut. None of those ques-
toned seemed to seriously con-

Prefers Death to 'Shame"

Japan today is in the position of
a first class power attempting
to maintain her place in the world
on the resources of third class
power. Unless she can acquire adj
ditionaI resources, she must even
tually step down to the lower rung.
That she will do this voluntarily
is out of the question. She will
invite humiliation first. She will
either get the new DEAL" or Asia
will again be turned crimson.
Japan, in her program of expan-
sion, has reached midstream only.
The water about her Is swift and
deep. She must push on to the
other shore, or turn back.

much or too little territory for her
needs-too much because it will in

The story of rubber, cotton, and
other essential materials is more
discouraging still.
Japan's grandiose dream of en-

become another Great Britain

products and shipping them to the
four corners of the earth in Japa-
nese bottoms.
But once more she seems to have
arrived on the scene a little too
late, though for the moment her
foreign trade is booming. Even
Britain is regarded as having long

of business and today is facing a

Naval Crisis Faced

In 1885 will be held the crucial
naval conference unless it is
scaled off, as many believe 1t will
Z be because 1t has no chance to sue
coed.
Finally, in 1895, If 1.-THE crisis
has not beens precipitated before,
Japan may face a showdown with
Soviet Russia new Russia,
whose armament is increasing
daily and which views with mount
ling alarm the menace of being cut
off from the Pacific by Nippon.
At the naval conference, Japan
will demand parity with the United
States and Great Britain. This,
she will claim, is her right as a
great power and because upon her
shoulders rests the burden of peace
an the orient.
Unless she wins her point, it is
Indicated, she will withdraw from
the Washington and London naval
limitation treaties as she did from

free hand to build any kind of navy
