Few of the yards are operating a full day and a number are idle from a production viewpoint. Secarcity of lahor is the chief trouble according to current report. Several | manufacturers admit they are suffer- | ing from this cause. A Kensington man who claims to be well informed on the brick situation declares that fully 200 bri makers left Kensing- ton when the manufacturers failed to agree to their terms. Among thes it is said, were the most experienced men. They had no trouble in ob- taining work at advanced prices and immediately left town.

Under the conditions now existing the crossing is protected only between the urs of 7 o’clock in the morning and in the evening, The commission’s decision is a vic- | for the Business and Improve- ociation, which has been | working for months in an effort to have the company voluntarily mini- mize the danger to autoists and drivers of other vehicles from the movement of trains over the crossing. Pursuing its policy of economy, the company wouldn't install the gates at the busi- | men’s request, declaring that the | traffic was insufficlent to warrant the expenditure of the money which the improvement would cost, and an ap- peal had to be made to the state com- mission to bring about the change. At the hearing held in the capitol some time ago the town representa- | tives argued that there is grave dan- ger to autoists passing over the cross- ing, particularly at night after the flagman has gone off duty and there | is urgent need of gates. Other plans for giving protection, which had been adopted by the railroad as a result of | the agitation of the Business and Im- provement association, had failed to | bring about the desired results and the local men thought gates would prove the only solution of the prob- | lem. The railroad’s witnesses admitted that the crossing was dangerous, but that there was not enough traffic to make gates necessary, especially if an extra man would have to be employed to operate them at night. In the memorandum filed by the commission, the members of that body expressed the opiniun that the Plain- ville men had made out a good case. Even during the winter months, when auto traffic is light, the commissioners became convinced that the crossi was inadequately protected and during the summer conditions would be such that there would be strong possibilities of serious accidents be- cause of the railroad’s negligence. Hence the decision for gate The chan: will be great ciated, particularly by auto: under the existing conditions have to approach the crossing with great caution and even then have no assur- ance of safety in going over the r Auto traffic on East Main street at night is »xtremely heavy and the need of protection at least until midnight has been apparent for a long time.
