Hartford, Conn, Sept. i2.--A tre- niendous improvement in living and working conditions and iHi the efn- ployme1lt of llnder-age children on tobacco farms of the state has been effected this year, State Labor Com missioner Cornelius J. Danal1er an- nounced today, pn the completion of preliminary Investigations by la- bor department representatives.
 with the full cooperation of most of the 17 growers who signed an agreement with the Labor Depart ment earlier in the year, the em- ployment of children under IA has been reduced to 8 minimum, sani- tary conveniences have been im- proved, better living conditions have obtained and, in general, on every hand there is overt testimony oi the desire of most growers to inn prove conditions" MT. Danahe1 stated.
 MT. Danaher praised the work oi Ralph c. .,Lasbury, public relations director for the Shade Growers William s. Fuller of the Griffin Fuller Tobacco Company of Hart ford and Lamar Monroe, general manager of the American Sumatrs Company, for their activity in pro- noting the reforms this year.
 According to the preliminary re- port made to Mir. Danaher by irl- dustrial investigator Edna Purtell 49 fields employing $500 workers and 25 boarding houses have so far been investigated. Indicative o1 the urgent need for continued reg ulation and vigilant inspection is the fact that 21OO, or nearly one- third of the labor force, were chil- dreIl under 16 vars of age," Miss Purtell stated. She stated further that child labor under IA years of age was practically non-existent this year, and 1870 age certificates were found on file, indicating a high degree of cooperation by growers ir observing this agreement.
 Miss Purtell also pointed out that in a number of boarding houses liv- ing conditions, particularly for col ored migrant workers, remain fal from satisfactory and fire hazards still exist in many old frame build- ings.
 A notable improvement was seer also in the method of transporting children to and from the fields but according to Miss Purtell. '"The long ditance transportation of large num- bers of children in farm trucks tS still a serious problem"
 Some of the growers not signing the labor pact also showed improve ment and in this connection Miss Purtel1 said, "The two largest corp. orations growing tobacco in Con-

From its 35S,ooO ship workers in the boom year of 1923, Jarrow's shipbuilding population ebbed away until, in 1885, only 157,oO0 remained, and of these, there was work for only 64,O0O. After this wars out break, when the unions accepted the idea of supplementing skilled work CTS with semi-skilled ones, the figure naturally rose.
 And naturally, too, Jarrow, Britt aims clasic town of unemployment during the depression, has leapt ahead a little under the lash of war. There is shipbuilding of sorts, but nothing as large-scale and impress

sive as during the years when Jar row was pacing the world and pros- perity lived in every home.
 Jarrow's streets are more empty than crowded and the craftsmen who worked at Palmer's, as their fathers did before them, have wandered to other yards in Eng land or have gone into airplane and munitions factories. And this dearth of men who possess the 'know-how" of fashioning steel into ships is the dam holding back any scheme proposing gigantic expan- sion of British shipbuilding on an American scale.

British Shipbuilders Feel Pinch 'W Depression- Born Labor Famine
By PAUL MANNING

(NIEA Service Stan COrrespOndent)
 London, Sept. 12-Derelict ship depression era, haunt ship-hungry yards, gaunt, rusted ghosts of the Britain today. Haunting 1t, too, is the memory of thousands of skilled hands that once reached vainly for sledge and riveting gun. { During the depression many famed shipyards were abandoned and men who had shipbuilding in their blood were turned away, put on the dole or allowed to- drift into other lines. And 1t is the lack of these shipwrights, boilermakers, riveters and platers that is the limiting factor in Britain's output today.
 STILL AHEAD
 OF WORLD WAR
 True, with fewer shipyards and 100000 men less, Britain is build ing 40 per cent more ships than she did during the last war. Since September, 1899, more than 500 new fighting ships have been de- hvered to the Royal Navy. Small freighters are being launched 30 days after keel laying and 10000 tonners are sliding down the ways 90 days after the first rivet has been gunned into place.
 But, desperate as is the need to replace vessels sunk by U-boats, this country will never be able to equal American production rates. They don't have room to expand in the Henry J. Kaiser manner.
 And labor has become such a bottleneck that the limit of ship construction has just about been reached. With two-thirds of Brit aims 14-to-65-year-old manpower working full time in industry, the armed forces or civilian defense, the total number in shipbuilding is still far below what might be used.
 LANDMARK" PLANT
 REDUCED TO BUBBLE
 Depression's blight on the ship yards is still 8 sore sight along once-bury river basins. Since war began, g derelict yards have been opened, but many more have not. Palmers shipyard in Jarrow, once described as the finest site in the world, is still desolated.
 The ground is covered with rub ble. Paint ship, foundry and tur- bine shop have disappeared. The machinery building still stands, a hollow shell. The costly machinery was sold to foreign firms as scrap metal long before the war. once Palmer's giant cranes were land marks you could see for 20 miles. Now, nothing remains but their con- crete foundation.
 Across the Tyne river Is another derelict shipyard. Further down stream are two more, dismantled. One was built at a cost of over S8 900 ,ooo at the end of the last war. No ship ever was launched down itssways.

 Today is not just junk. A dishpan slightly dented,
 A broken dime bank made Of steelD Don't relay them to the ash heap,
 How the salvage committee would teelI Treasure your old boilers,
