Do we not falil to give the subject of our year-in, year-out purchases all the intelligent thought and consideration due so important a matter? And do we not, as a result of this habit, buy many things un- wisely, things which aren't just right and which might have glven far greater satisfaction if they had been decided upon with thrifty forethought? It is on this account that we urge upon our readers the im- portance and economy of being well posted on the dafly offerings of our advertisers. One can not only plan one's expenditures with greater econ- omy but can also make better and more satisfactory selections than when “going it blind.” As to Manufacturing Sites, Farming Opportunities, and At tractions as Summer Resort—Plan Adopted at Meeting Here Pf Eastern Connecticut Development Committee. Attended by representatives from the Business Men's associations of Daniel- son, New London, Putnam and this citl, a second meeting of the Eastern Cennecticut _development committee was held on Friday here, with a supper at the Wauregan house at 5.30 in the ‘l.nernoon preceding the business meet- ng. The business.part of the meeting was called to order in the rooms of the Norwich association in the Shannon building at about 6.15. A, V. Wood- worth and A.-P. Woodward of Daniel- son, G. E. Shaw, E.

Mr. Shaw of Putnam em- a discussion of the way on which the | phasized the attractions which this territory might present as a summer resort place, instancing the beauty of the Woodstocks and the Hampton hills. | Mayor Murphy spoke particularly along the line of good roads, and made a strong plea for the interest that Nor- wich and the whole section should have in inducing the state highway commis- sione to improve the rcad on the east side of the river from Norwich to Gro- | ton. The meeting voted endorsement | of this road project, and an effort is to | be made to get the highway commis- sioner here to look over the road in person. Chairman Latimer reported that he had been in communication with Pres- ident Mellen of the New Haven road regarding the Versailies cut-off, which had been presented at the proveious | meeting of the committee, and that the ; New Haven road president had assur- ed him that there was small hope of having the cut-off bullt for some time yet. However, President Mellen was willing to give them a hearing if they wished to make an oppointment. It i was voted to hold the matter in abey- ance for a time and to consider this a report of progress. Mr, Wheaton_spoke a good word for ! [the roads in Windham county, with! | some praise for the way H. H. Daven- port looked after them. and said that Windham county had perhaps secured its share of state-aided roads.

Over $25000,000 Expended by the Railroad During the Fiscal Year . 1912, to 33,287 Em- New Haven, June 6 —The extent to which a large railway system is an | employer of labor is shown by figures | presented by General Auditor J. M. Tomlinson of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad Compan for the vear ending Jume 30, 4912 These figures show that of the $42,- 104,017.79 total operating expenses of in that fiscal or $25.734,786.42 33,287 cent, for salaries to year, 611 per was expendeq emploves. While the employment of labor is a necessity for the successful operation {of a railroad, expenses for this ac- count are considered by statisticians and cconomists as unremunerative. | This, of course, is not strictly true, for in the last analysis the operation of a railroad js mot a remunerative bus- iness. While it may be said that a railroad supplies and distributes a commodity. and for this service re- ceives a compensation, the reports of the railroads of the United States show that these systems are really vast collectors and distributors of | money, and that a very small percent- {age of this money is retained by the stockholders or owners of these com- panies. The employment of labor is as much a remunerative function as the running of an engine or the collection of a fare. The enormous amounts spent by the rafiroads for labor. how- ever, is a._fact that few people are cognizant of. The following table. prepared by Mr. Tomlinson, shows the classifica- tion of labor and the amounts expend- d for cach class during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912: Compen- Class. Number. sation. Officers o 152 $596,214.28 General office clerks £ Station age: e Other station men 4.77 | Enginemen .. | Firemen ..

In the actual operation of a train, the necessary emploves—that is, the enginemen, firemen,- conductors and | other trainmen—constitute 20.5 per cent. of the total number of employes of the New Haven road, and they re- ceive 28.9 per cent. of the total amount expended for wages. The officers of | the company recelve 2.3 per cent. of the total expenditures for this account. The railroad business, according (o | these figures, may well be said to be a business of employment. There are ! few lines of industry that employ such lan enormous army of men and still fewer that pay as well. And this per- centage of 61.1 paid for labor last year by the New Haven is not decreasing | but is. in fact, increasing rapidly from year to vear. The firemen have re- cently been awarded an increase in pay and the engineers obtained one sometime previously. In the five years between 1907 and 1912, the increase in compensation for certain classes of la- bor on all the roads in the United States amounted to $35,160,415, or 28.6 per cent. In the same period the mileage represented increased but 4 per cent., and gross revenues, out of which railway labor is pald, incregsed only 8 per cent. Tn a section like that through which | the New Haven road operates, 7| ! men represent a formidable army and | are a vital factor in the prosperity of that sectlon. When it is considered that over 60 per cent. of a company's | expenditures ‘are made for the em- ployment of labor, and that labor rep- resents 33,287 men, and that these men recelve a total of $25.734,786.42 a year, ang that practically ail of them are residents in the section through which the road operates, the place that the railroad holds in the life, happiness and prosperity of that section is easily vnderstood.
