Support From The Statistics

information contained in the Directory of Connect cut Manufacturing and Mechanical Establsnments re- gently released by the State Department of Labor offers support for thesis that Waerbuys industrial future something to be regarded with confidence, though not Wtn smugneSS
 Commissioner Egans statsticians compiled figures m April and May this year manufacturing in the state ana the number of employees engaged in industrial plants These figures compared with similar figures for 1943 the date of the last similar survey.
 Waterbury has fared exceptionally well in the com parson While the number of employees in the state as whole has shrunk % to present total of 479O29 tns cy's record shows drop of only S3o With SS4o' no" being employed in manufacturing plants
 Brightest spot in the report from our own point of view the discovery that Waterbury alone among the major industrial cities of the stae actually had more
 males employed in its plants this year than In 1945 The state average in this loss of 159o Our teale workers however dropped to 10722 loss of 50o rom 1943 Explanation for this shrnkage is difficult to iso late.
 One other fact developed by the report which is re- ported at greater length than here in another column of todays Democrat gives reason for little growing This city has more workers in manufacturing plants than any other city in the state save Bridgeport alone although combination of the Hartford and East Hart ford figures does put Waterbury in third place but stl ahead of our neighbor New Haven.
 Events of the past few weeks have naturally affected 1g45 endowment figures It is fair to assume that present tendencies toward a small number of employees follow trends indicated by the report and reflect essened activity ssg that tendency alone among Connecticut cities Her future prosperity fortunately not dependent on the manufacture of armament and allied products
 It's pleasant to have statistical support for our con- vction that Waerburys future path leads to continued 3rosperity.
