from the state those fiy-by-nlght establishments known as sweat shops.
 Some of this important legisla- ton which I have just described seems to have been overlooked by the Republicans who. have the following plank in their platform: '"we urge the adoption of State laws and interstate compacts to abolish sweatshops and child labor, and to protect women and child ren with respect to maximum hours, minimum wages and work ing conditions" The tentative compacts were set aside by other States as soon as business improved. Al lthis and much other social legislation has been enacted ap- parently without knowledge of the Republicans who are now profess sing to rejuvenate their party. Some of them, however, must know about 1t, for the Republican

ardous occupations the age limit for the employment of minors has been placed at eighteen years. Only ten of the forty-nine states of the Union have SO advanced legislation as this with respect to the employment of minors.
 As early as 1888 came the first law prohibiting industrial home work. As twice amended, this act has nearly put an end to the abuse of exploiting the work of women and children in their homes by paying them a few cents an hour for needlework. This was the first law of the kind enacted anywhere in the United States.

Hartford, Oct. Ex-Governor Wilbur L. Gross will remain gov- ernor "in fact as well as in name" and, if reelected, will not step aside, turn the offlce over to the lieutenant governor, as the Re- publicans have ''insinuated." Such was the stand of the chief ex- ecutive today, following Q broad- cast last night in which he took to task the Republican candidates for "perverting" the truth to such extent that their characters will show the damage liar beyond the period of this cainpagin."
 In particular, the governor criti- cized Raymond E. Baldwin, Re- publican nominee for governor, for taking a stand, as house lead- CT against old age pensions, jury service for women and reduction of kours of labor for women and minors.
 Impairments
 Replying to "insinuations" of the Republicans regarding his al- legged Impairment by age," Gov- ernor Cross remarked that he rec tains three of his wisdom teeth, lost the other at some time dur- ing his youth. "So far as can be determined have suffered since I became governor no impairment in physical or mental health," he said.
 The complete text of the gover- nor,s address follows:
 '"The strategy of the Republican organization in this campaign so far as the state is concerned is proceeding along the lines adopted in the beginning. The candidates for office appear to be encouraged to make against the state admin istration reckless charges having no foundation in fact. It is @ dan- gerous procedure which is easily met by stating the truth. It also puts the Republican candidates who address radio audiences in e very Serl0uS poSltion. The uamaBe to their characters for perverting the truth may last far beyond the period of this campaign.
 When 1t Is said that the gover- nor has shown no interets in trade schools and that during the last ten years there has been no in- crease either in their number or in their staffs, all the governor has to say in reply is that two new large trade schools have been organized within this period and that the number of teachers hast increased form 1o6 to 184. The announcement that during the last fiscal year the receipts in the general fund of the state were considerably larger than the dis bursements, owing to strict control of expenditures which the gover- nor has under the fiscal reorga- nization of the state government in 1887, is rather troublesome to the Republicans; so they obscure the situation by charges of waste ana extravaganza in unnamed de-

ment service has been completely renovated so that 1t has the high respect of all who make use of it.
 Great credit is due to the abil- fly with which the Unemploy- ment Compensation Act has been administered as Q division of the Department of Labor. It is re garded as one of the best in the country. It has already distribute cd to the thousands of workers who have been laid off this last year more than eleven million dollars.

 Tn order to eliminate sweat shops an act was passed in 1883 requiring all persons conducting a mechanical or manufacturing establishment to register the name and location of such es- tablishment with the Commission CT of Labor.

candidate for Governor, who was member of the House in toSi and e leader of his party there in 1883. took a decided stand asainet old age pensions and the reduction of the hours of labor for women and minors in industry to forty-eighs per week.
 In accordance with his attitude toward what was then called pro- gressive legislation, he opposed, for example, a bill giving to the Public Utilities Commission power to investigate rates on. ifs own ini- tiative and to have Q liniited con- trol over the issuance of sectslt- ies. However, in 1885 these powerB were granted by nearly unanirl- ous vote to the Public Utilities Commission with the result that electric light rates have since been reduced to an average of about 10 percent for all purposes. He likewise opposed the statewide set-up of liquor control board.

Printed Report of Institutons Activities For Past Year Stresses Importance of Plan-6,2 ,2S7 Patients

Need for a new administration building at Waterbury hospital Is emphasized by Dr. B. Henry Mason, hospital superintendent, in the in- stitution's annual report for 1887, which has just been issued in print ed form. The report shows large increases in the number of patients treated during the year and in the number of days of hospital care of patients.
 Growing Necessity
 Apropos of the proposed new building, Dr. Mason says 'The need of a new administrative build ing, as outlined in the 1885 report, has been more forcibly brought to our attention by the large increased amount of work done at the hospi- tai The centralization of the ad- ministrative activities would not only facilitate the work of admit ting office, the business office and the record room, but would provide adequate waiting space for visitors, a centrally located lounge for our clinical staff, and pleasant living quarters for the residents and in- ternes. The rooms now occupied by our resident staff would then be available for those engaged in other departments than nursing, thus

BRICKLAYERS ASK
 WEEKLY INCREASE
Contractors Plan Reduc= lions in Present Wage
 Scales For Union Men

Reductions in existing wage scales for members of the building trades unions are being planned by local contractors. Contracts which expire tomorrow will not be renewed by contractors at the rates now pro- vided.
 In the face of this proposed reduc- tion, which will be from three to five percent, the bricklayers are asking an increase of $l a week. Rates provided by the contractors now in force are: Bricklayers, $1l; carpenters, $9; plumbers and steam filters, $9, painters, $9; and laborers $6. All other tradesmen are ask ing that the present rates be main- tained.
 Thomas F. Moran, secretary of the Builders Exchange replied. "No, I don't think so". when asked last night if the contracts would be renewed with the current wage scales. He also said he knew noth- ing of any conference between the council and the exchange with re- gard to new contracts.
 Small-scale builders, known as "jerry" contractors, have been asked to use union labor at series of conferences the past few months. Newspapers were led to believe these conferences were for the purpose of stimulating business. It is the claim of the exchange that the jerry contractors hire tradesmen and la borers at $1 or $2 day less than the others.
 John McGurk told The Democrat this morning that 1t is his belief that the Building Tradesmen will reject any reduction in wages at the present time. He claims they have received no proposition or reply from employers despite the fact that agreements were mailed them the first of the year.
 Members of the Building Trades Council will meet tonight in their Scovill street headquarters. Although they have not been officially in formed of the move to diminish wage scales, there will be a discus sion of the question.
