WARDEN ISSUES WARNING | | George Scymour and Herbert Ewald Home From France—Sunday Pro- gram Arranged for Camp Ground Services—Others Items of Interest. Plainville looks to the future for a great era of prosperity in the manu- facturing line. As a manufacturing town, Plainville is maintaining a tirm- er place in the commercial markets that is due to be strengthened ma- terially in the near future. Of late the value of the town manufacturing center has beco known to many men of prominence throughout the state. This was in part due to the fine war record which the many manufacturing plants in the town achieved during the war. Ever local plant was engaged in war work, whether working on direct contracts or sub-contrac he Rockwell Drake factory manu- factured ball bearings and parts for the Browning machine gun. TI Trumbull Electric Co. shipped hun- dreds of switch boards and other sup- plies to the Emergency Ileet corpor- ation and aided in other government work. Osborne and Stephenson’s fac tory on West Main street was the only factory in town to receive due recog- pition for exceptionally fast work on government contracts. The naval ordnance flag was awarded to C. H. Newton, owner of the factory, for his work in supplying the government with needed supplies before the time limit on contracts had expired. The Bristol Manufacturing company was ¢ making underwear for tue sol- and sailor boys and other fa did work along their respective New Scale of Wages. All post-war basis and ticeable on the factories are now on their prosperity is no- all sides. The Trumbull rumors of whose sale to Electric Co. the General Electric Co. have been denied, has posted notices for its em- ployes stating that new wage rates | and working hours will be put into effect dating from &y 14. J. H. Trumbull, president of the concern, stated this morning that the wage scale and working hou have not been changed yet. The company is waiting for the general policy being followed by Tactories in this vicinity and will base its action on such a pol- icy. The employes of the factory will receive such increases as the change will make from the date of July 14. No labor trouble has been hinted at in the factory and the change in rates and schedule will be voluntary on the part of the factory officials. Rockwell Drake's is progressing well among its ball bearing manu- facturing line and employs many hands in its local factory. The Id- win Hills factory on North Washin ton street also employs a large num- ber of hands and is doing a large busine: in its new four story fac- tory building. The hapes of the people have risen with the start on a new factory for Landers, Frary & Clark of New Brif- ain in this town. The factory is situ- ated on the south side of the trolley tracks on the east side of the Quinni- piac river. Tts erection is going rapid- ly on and work on the fourth floor is in the present stage of completion The factory is to be used for the cel- Iuloin plant of that concern. It is being built of brick and steel and is fire- proof. A large number af men have been engaged recently in laying rails for a trolley express service to the factory. A cross-over has been installed and two sets of tracks run from the trolley line to the factory Whether the trolley ffreight will be | utilized is not known. Tt may revive the olden days when Hart & Hutchin- son's factory in New Britain wa ed and the people of the town saw freight cars being hauled through the main streets of this town Houses Are Badly Needed. What this town needs is a larse number of tenement hauses and bun- galows. Plainville’s growth would be by leaps and hounds if there were proper housing facilities in the town The trolley cars running from the | center of this town every morning and night are filled with people wha are forced to commute because of a lack of houses here.
