NEW BRITAIN 13T IR E. NDESTRIES $4,670,000 in Yalue Added f0 Rew Naterial Gonsumed By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washingtos Correspondent, N.B. Herald) | ™ Washington, D. C., Nov. 6—Con- necticut holds a commanding lead over the five other New England | of §1,1. is-far above the in otMer jons, The nearcst ap- proach is fn the east north central division, thy average is §1,- 428. but ons sectiun, the south At- lantic, pays as low an average wage as $902 yearly. Ths average velue added per worker to the value of the finished product is $2,617 in New England, which is lower than in‘any er section except the south Atlamic. The same relative status prevails in the average value per wage worker of the finished product. This is §5,- 421 in New England. Textile industries still occupy & major part in the New England - dustrial scheme, the study evidences. They produce 32.6 per cent of the states in four major industries of the | $6.161,099,000 worth of finished ar- section. These are in hardware, bress and copper products, silk manfactures and metal working | machinery. The state, in addition to undisput- | ed leadereship in these-industries, is treading on Massachusetts’ heels in foundry and machine shop products. These facts are shown in a survey published: by the Department of Commerce today which gjves an ex- haustive summary of fundamental | factors in the New England manu- | facturing situation. This survey 's an advance print- | ing of part of a large three-yolume | study of the New England industrial scheme, 1t deals specifically with | the section's manufactures as a source of income to its people. An interesting feature of the volume is a table showing the val- ue added by manufactures in all| citles of over 10,000 population to the material from which the finish- ! ed product is made. Several Connec- | ticut cities stand out prominently in | this respect. | TFactories in Bridgeport alone add- | ed $80,562,000 in value to its prod- uets, ranking fifth in New England | im this respect, although it ranks| #ixth in population. New Britain’s Rank New Britain, which ranks 19th in population, stands 13th in value #dded to its products, $48,674,000 | being the difference between the value of the material used and the | Gross lower a New Lon- | furnaee, was seriously burned when in added | the furnace exploded from some un- products made from it. don produced §8,548,000 value, ranking 42nd in this respect, although in population it stands out Tist. Meriden likewise showed well. R produced $22,852,000 in value #dded to the material used. It is in the manufacture of hard- ware that Connecticut far overshad- w3 the remainder of New England. The state manufactures 94.39 per eent of all New England hardware, Istest figures giving the value of Wese products as $83,026,000, In addition, the state produces $156,142,000 of brass, bronze and eepper produets every year, this con- sEituting about 90 per cent of the New England total. In silk manu- factures, the annual value is $55, 601,000 or approximately 45 per cent | @8 the section's output. Metal-working machinery is pro- duced annually to the value of $16,- 48,000 Thix is virtually 44 per cent of that in the whole of New Eng- Jand. In all of these Connecticut iy well ahead of {ts sis- ter states. ticles made every year in New Eng- land. They use 37.6 per cent of the materials consumed in the factories, and add 27.2 per cent of the valu added to these materials in the pre cess of manufacture. Second in all these fields, they rank first in total ges pail and in number of work- ers employed, the percentage being respectively 32.5 per cent and 36.8 per cent. Metal and related industries loom next in size, being first in some re- spects. These trades produce 26.2 per cent of the manufactures, em- | ploy 28.2 per cent of the workers ay 32.5 per cent of the wages. and rubber, paper and foodstuffs and chemicals and Leather, printing, are the other main industries. relative igiportance is in the order named, although they vary widely in the various divisions of the study Explosion Kills One and Hurts Two York, Pa, Noy. 6.—(UP)—One man was killed, two were seriously injured, and a 30-foot hole was blown in the wall of the York Metal and Alloy company plant here in an explosion of a furnace last night. Daniel Gross, 26, assistant elec- trician at the plant, died of burns of the face, hands, chest, and back. Harry Albright 27, who was helping an electrode in a | known cause.

Two Fatally Hurt In Auto Accident Providence, Nov. 6 (#—Two men | were probably fatally hurt in an au- | | tomobile accident involving three | cars on the main road in Ports | mouth, near the Newport county fatr | grounds at 11 o'clock last night. Louis Robinsen, driver of the truck, and Louis Governo, his assistant, are | at the Newpert hospital in a eritical | condition suffering from interal in- juries.

The wide ‘distribution of the state’s industries is shown by the fact that hardware forms only about ¥ per cent of the state’s manufac- tares, although it forms 94 per cent of New England’s hardware output. Ther¢ are 1,548 firms engaged in the 88 leading industries and 1,514 4 the unclassified industries, new evidence of distribution. The detailed nature of the De- partment of Commerce survey is demenstrated in the table showing the industrial status of each county ia New England. 638 Establishments fn County This shows Hartford county to Have 635 manufacturing establish- ments of aMl kinds.

Factorles Are Backbone “The prosperity of this region,” says Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce which s making the study, in discussing the situation-in Connecticut and New England in meneral, “hinges upon the activity ot its factories and mills. “These also play a significant part n the whele national scheme be- cause New England manufacturing enters so largely into the commer- clal life of the nation. “Much has been seid and written recently regarding the condition of | manufacturing New and with | only a partial knowledge of the facts. Because of incor infor- mation vague and distorted impre sions have gained circulation. A eurate knowledge of the manufacturing sifuation is necos to understand the true place of England in the na s comm The survey follows this o by showing first how the se stands 1n comparison to the Btates as a whole, New [ shows has 9.7 per cont of the facturing establishn country.

ENGLAND WATCHING " ELECTION RETURNS (Hys Koen But Detached Interest { in American Political Result ! | Londem, Mov. ¢—UM—Great Brit- jain is watching with keen, although detached interest the big battle of the ballots across the ocean today. yHerbert Hoover has been loug known {10 Englishmen through his wartime \activities and Governor Smith has iibeen s0 continuously and fully de- \scribed in dispatches that the people talk about the republican and demo- |cratic candidates with almost the same intimacy with which they dis- cuse Premier Baldwin and former Premier Lloyd George. The progress of the campaign has been featured in the newspapers al- most dally with long cable dispatches accompanted by pictures and occa- sionally by editoriala. This morning's nespapers gave fronmt page promi- nence to the eontest with the latest predictions of the outcome. Correspondents of London papers in America appeared to think that the best prospects rested with Hoover although the democrats might win a surprise victory. Miny of the dispatches from America stressed the crucial im- portance of the women's vote, saying | the result of the election was in their hands. This feature interested the British public since the franchise has been extended by the so called flap- per vote bill and there is complete uncertainty as to how the women will cast their ballots in the general eclection of 1929. The Daily Mail said editorially to- day that it would make little differ. ence to Great Britain, prosperity or goed government whether Smith or Hoover was chosen. The Daily Ex- press said that whichever candidate was victarious America would be in safe and capable handa READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS VEMBER §, J928 r Gives Woman $3 For Sick Baby nnati, 0., Nov. 6§ UM — As three men who robbed Erie Avenue bank of $8.000 at noon .yes- terday were making their escape, Mrs. Mary Exbsehr, a depositor who entered the bank during the holdup, halted them, maying: “I only came to draw out some money for my baby.” She leoked at one of the men whose pocket was bulging with currency. “He's sick and I need it.” she added.
