Larger Plants To

One or Two Days LayOff Following Week Necessary for Limited Inventory Rush Greater Than Last
 Five Years Noted Democrat in Local Survey

Some of the city's largest fac- tories, under pressure of a greater volume of business than has been experienced during the holiday period for the past five years, plan to curtail the annual shutdown to one day, it was disclosed in a check made by The Democrat to- day. In most cases plants will be closed only on Christmas day, will resume operations the following day and will shut down for one or two days during the next week for inventories.
 Brings Back Memories p
 This year will mark the first time since the boom day period of the late twenties that factory heads have abrogated their annual cus- tom of closing the plants for one or two weeks beginning Christmas day.
 The American Brass company, of- ficialS said, will be ciosed only on Christmas day and will be also shut down during three days of the. fol- lowing week for the annual inven- tory.
 The Scovill Manufacturing corn- pany will be closed for the holiday, but will resume operations the fol- lowing day. Their inventory will be taken Monday and Tuesday Dec. 30 and 31.

The Waterbury Clock company will be closed on Christmas day but is among the factories to re- open Thursday. Inventory will be taken January 1st to 4th inclusive. The Waterbury Farrell Foundry will close only for the holiday.
 Some Schedules Not Set
 Plume & Atwood Manufacturing company, and several others ques- tioned this morning, had not yet made up the holiday schedule. Of- ficials were practically unanimous in the statement that the longer layoff this year was unnecessary because of increased busiress. It is noticeable that in all of the schedules announced the inventory period has been limited to from one to three days instead of the usual week.
