 MUCH IMPROVED
John H. GOss Indicates Summer Stump Light;

Employment conditions in the factories of Waterbury at the pres- ent time are better than they were for the same period in 1895, in the opinion of John II. Cess, vice-presi- dent and general superintendent of the ecoyili Manutacturin company. Tn on interview with tho Democrat today Mfr. Cess declared, however, that a stop must be placed on the movement to increase the burden on industry now apparent in Wash- ingtOn. D. c.
 TT the burden on industry con- tiriues to increase we will have no industry at aii," he asserted. Tt is becoming more and more expensive to do business and 1t is also beconl- ing more and more impossible to build up financial reserves"
 Slump Not So Bad IVY
 Figures casually perused by Mir. doss for the Democrat disclosed the fact that the usual summer slump iii the brass manufacturing indus try has not been as sharp this year as 1t was last year or In several preceding years. Employment here during June. 1886, was much better than In June, i03S, he pointed out.
 Uncertainty is bound to exist In the industrial field between now and election, Mir. 0oss pointed out. This Is usually the case in years when national elections are taking place.
