With the general feeling through- out the town that the factories are ~contemplating going on shorter hours than they have thus far, the residents have taken on a decided pessimistic aftitude. However, the ! officials of the larger plants feel that the low point has been reached in the business depression and are look- ing forward to a slow but gradual increase. John H. Trumbull, . presi- dent of the Trumbull Electric Man- ufacturing company, the largest fac- tory in the town operating at the present time, is of the opinion that working hours will be extended, not only in the Trumbull factory, but in every one throughout the town and the vicinity in general. It is true that the plant is operating on a schedule of shorter hours now but with the coming business that is pre- dicted in the near future, these will be lengthened, he think There have been about town that is steadily decreasing its force of em- ployes and shortening the working time. Mr. Trumbull and Stanley S. Gwillim, general superintendent of { the concern, stated today that the jrumors were unfounded but admitted that the policy of the factory had undergone some changes. There are | about 250 or possibly 300 employes ! on the force at the present time, of which the majority are married men. The married men and those emploves who have been with the concern for . many years, are given the preference d have somewhat longer hours.
