State Survey
OF Manpower
Is Completed
Employment Of Men Has
Increased Over 800
Since 1899

HARTFORD.-The full impact
of the war effort in terms of in
creased manpower and woman
power was revealed today with the
publication of Conn. Labor De-
partment survey which gives, the
first comprehensive and detailed
picture of increased employment
IN every community in the state.
The survey, covering 1874 man.
ufacturing and industrial establish
ments in the state, has been under
way for several months. No attempt
was made to poll the number of
workers in mercantile and service
establishments.
The report gives comparative fig
ures with 1889, and shows that $40
industrial establishments have mush-
roomed during the past two years,
growing from 2,798 in 1889 to 1874
at present. The employment of men
has increased more than 819o, jump
ing from 10000 to more than 350,000
while the use of women in industry
has increased $3.50, going from $1,000
to III, 000-a gain of approximately
$4,000 during this period of growth.
BRIDGEPORT AHEAD
In the main armament centers, en-
ployment has increased at a proper
Tomato rate, except in Bridgeport,
which has outstripped all other cities,
with an increase of 179o over normal.
HARTFORD STATISTICS
Hartford has shown an increased
employment of 1870, but the neigh
boring town of East Hartford has
moro than trebled its manpOwer,
jumping from 5000 to more than
%, 900, while West Hartford shows
one of the greatest gains in the
entire state, skyrocketing to the
highest level of industrial activity
in its history gain of more than
5000 over normal.
Practically the only large COM
munity in the state which has not
felt the effect of the war effort is
Danbury, which actually shows a
diminution of l63 employees, a
loss of more than go over 1889.
There has been a tremendous de-
mand for this statistical material by
housing and public health authorities.
Printed copies of the complete survey
will be available in the near future.

NO "RUNAWAY WACES''

HARGES that wages have been running wild blown up
by statistics in the October Reserve
Bulletin.
The BuLLetin authoritative source of economic data
showed that even in manufacturing where wage
have been bigger than in industry generally the wage
rates between Janary, l94l and May 1912 only
Is cent or just equal to the increased living
The statistics showed that during period total manu-
featuring payros had increased 90 per cent but the Bulletin
pointed out that most of this paid for additional
work, rather than higher wage rates.
Since May the Bulletin said average hourly earnings
increased three to four partly due overtime
while the cost of living has up three per since

Promptly at 800 the meetings
were called. The halls were usually
packed with delegates and visitors,
for it was a treat to listen to the
discussions of the meeting. At 9
o'clock, usually, all local business was
done, and then started the discussions
on economic, political and social ques-
tons. There were some very able and
informed delegates. One had to know
his subject to gain the notice and re-

Letter from, England

q JUST got couple of letters forwarded to me by
a Mrs. Greer over in Rye, New York She sent
some garden seeds last winter when we got the
idea of helpin' out the British War Relief folks,
an they landed in the hands of Mr.. A. E. Hutch
ings, Myrtle Street, Appledore, Devon. England.
In his thank-you letter to Mrs. Greer, Mr..
Hutchings seemed so thankful for the seeds, that
she sent him food package. 1t had some chocolate
in it an here's what Mr.. Hutchings wrote about it,
THE children were thrilled and the little girl
age S, was puzzled when we tried to explain that
once some time ago, our own chocolate tasted the
same. confess to tasting little myself and as
did fell to wondering of the great change in our
method of living. 1t seemed to be all expressed
in the taste of your chocolate. Everything is
plain and austere now in England. Thanks
again for the food parcel and assuring you
that the seeds are growing OK, Yours sim
cerely.'
just thought you'd like to have this little word
from the other side of the Atlantic. 1t makes you
realize that most of our shortages over here aren't
very much to squawk about. An when you stop
to think about it, even the Hutchingses better
off than the Greeks an probably than the Nor
wegans an the rest of the conquered countries
where even the kids are starvin' in the streets
Right now Id be douby willin' to trim my own
hamburgers little around the edges if we can
sort of use the leftovers to get this war over an
then start out dom somethin' about freein' the
world from some of its most pressin' wants.
