Each of the factories to take part will be headed by a commander to be selected by them, and the em- ployes who plan to march should re- port at their respective factories at 1 o'clock. Two trains have been se- cured to convey the marchers to Hartford. The first of these will leave at 1:30 o'clock and the second at 1:45 o'clock. Each parader will defray his own expenses. On arrival in the Capitol city, the local delega- tion will march to a designated place near the capitol building and be in readiness to commence the march promptly at 3 o’clock. At present there are fears entertained that a shortage aof flags will occur, and to offset this the committee has ar- ranged to have hat bands with the words “New Britain” inscribed. There will also be a large banner with New Britain inscribed on it. As both local bands have been se- cured by the general committee in Hartford, the local committee has re- quested that one of them be tendered the local marchers. It is planned to have the members of the municipal government head the first division of the lacal crowd. There will be no distinction made of the gathering, 2nd any person not connected with the factories or any of the other or- ganizations planning to participate can drop in the line any place. It iz expected that about 2,000 from here will turn out. Marshal Andrews announces the | following officers for the parade | Colonel W. W. Bullen, chief of staff; aides, Burton C.
