Shortage Of Materials Curtails Employment In City Industries
Chamber of Commerce Offers Monthly Survey
 of City Conditions
tofncial U. s. Navy Photo from NEA

The serious effect of shortages of materials on Waterbury industry showed itself today when the monthly business survey of the Chamber of Commerce showed Q de- cline of 6i2 ia the number of per. sons employed during October. It was the first time that employment has dropped here in ie months, c steady upsurge having been record- cd since May of io40. The survey to- taB show that 46,eo7 were working last month, compared with 4e,409 In September.
 Factory employment decreased even more sharply than general eIi- ployment. Eight of the largest plants had 26,4i8 on their payrolls, 66s less than the previous number. The gen- eral decline was lesSened by slight increases iTl employment in stores and utilities.
 Bright Otherwise
 Aside from employment, the buS- mess picture was quite bright. Bank clearlngs were almost 6 million dol- lars greater than in September, bank debits climbed more than seven mil- Hon dollars and bank savings rose higher over the 60-miilion dollar mark. Building activity showed c sharp gain, while electricity and gas consumption also climbed. Freight tonnage showed increases in some categorles, decreases in others.
 The employment decrease can be credited directly to prioritles short- ages and to the difticulty in getting materials.
 Even large plants engaged mainly in defense work have suffered soiile- what, while smaller plants, with Nt- tle or no defense work, have been brought face to face with Q most acute problem.
 IAyORs Prevalent
