There was a good sized congregation at the Union service at the Central Baptist church Sunday evening when Charles F. Taylor of Greenwich spoke on the no-license question. During the prelude William Ricker gave a 'cel- lo selection accoppanied by R. Gale Noyes. Everett Royes sang a solo accompanied by, Mr. Noves. The churches represehted were the Central Baptist church, the First Baptist, Park, Broadway and Second Congregational. Mr. Taylor at one time occupied the pulpit in Greenwich which Rev. Joseph H. Selden of this city filled for a time. Mr. Taylor said “Few people realize that there Is a bitter fight goins on this state this fall to make the state ‘safe/ for democracy.” Never before has ‘there been such an opportunity to.clan up the state as at the pres- ent time. The fight is being fought right here in Norwich but it may be defeated at the very start of the cam- Daign. The local committee has by hard work secured 592 signers to the petition asking a vote on the uestion of license. 584 names were needed. The liquorq dealers have challenged four of the names as not heing voters. Now they have taken the petition be- fors a judge on the mean Mttle tech- nicality of the signers’ addresses. If the petition had gone unchallenged and the matter had been voted upon and the no-license forces had lost, no ones right would have beentrampled upon, not even those of the liquor dealers hemselves. But as it is the liquor ealers cre trampling on the rights of the voters. Many people have expressed the opinion that this action of the liquor dealers will be a boomerang and the aroused sentiment of the common peo- ple will turn against the saloon keep- ers at the polls. The 'liquor deal- ers’ fevorite argument is that no-li- cense would put many men out of business. There are 289.000 men en- gaged in all branches of the liquor industry in this country. In this time of need these men ought to be con- scripted to some useful work instead of their present destructive work. Were the state to g0 no-license the loss of revenue from licenses would e more than made up by the @ecrease in the number of the criminal popula- tion apd its support, in the Jails, yrisons, insane asylums and other such institutions.

I am anxious for all of us to breathe in these Iofty sentiments until we shall rise to the full nobility of one manhood and womanhood in Christ Jesus. The present war along with other’ reasons is the result of bad thinking. The church must mow'a the world’s ~king. It must' not be left to un- godly scholarship. A nation never rises above its thinking. The church must blaze the way in the realm of thought. Men are self centered and nations are self-centered. Oh, that we could all learn this principle of giving as well as getting and giving until it's costly. The churchemust practice her creed and not only recite it. Our creed st be translated into life and ac- on) . The church’must have on the fight- ing edge. The church is militaristic but we fisht with the weapons of lov and service.

According to the census of manu- factures in Connecticut prepared under the-supervision of W. M. Stew- art, chief statisticlan for manufac- tures and just issued by the ment of commerce bureau of the gen- sus, Sam L. Rogers, director, the av- erage number of wage earners in Nor- wich is 4,074 these being distributed among 105 establiehments. A copy of the report has been re- ceived by The Bulletin through _the kindness of George P. McLean, Uni- ted States senator. The census statistics of manutac- tures are compiled primarily for the Durpose of showing the absolute and relative magnitude of the different branches of industry covered and their growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort is made to present data throw- ing light upon character of ownership, size of establishments, and similar subjects. The census did not cover establish ments which were idle during the en- tire year or whose products were val ued at less than $500, or the manufac- turing done in educational, eleemosy- nary, and penal institutions. The returns relate: to the calendar year 1914, or the business year which corresponded most nearly to that cal- endar vear, and covering a year's op- erations, except for establishments which began or discontinued business during the year.

Connecticut’s manufactured prod- ucts in 1914 were valued at $545,471,- 517, and the average number of wage earners employed in manufacturing industries\ was 226,264. In that year Cennecticut ranked twelfth among the states in the former respect and eighth in the latter. For 1914 there were reportéd from the state of Connecticut 4,104 manua- facturing _establishments ~operating under the factory system, which gove employment to 254,499 persons dufing the year and paid out $160,731, in salaries and wages. Of the persons employed, 225,264 Were wuge carn ers. These establishments tirned out products to the value of $545471,517, to piodcue which matgrials = costing 288,510,856 were consumeil. The menufacturing industries = of Confiecticut as a whole _developid much less rapldly during the period 1909-1914 than Guring the preceding five-year period. During the later pe- icd a decrease of 3.5 per cent. in number of establishments was ac- companied by increases of 7.3 per cent in average number of wage earners, 11.3 per cent in value of products, and 10.3 per cent in value added by man- ufacture. The most important industries | shown may be considered briefly. Textiles—These industries, taken as a group, ranked above any single in- dustry in the state In value of prod- ucts in 1914 and stood second only to the manufacture of foundry, and ma- chine-shop products in number of wage earners~ Brass, bronze and copper products— This industry, measured by value of products, which in 1914 constituted 12.7 per cent of the total value for all Irdustries in the state, outranked all others in that year. Foundry and machine-shop products —This industry was by far the most important in the state in 1914, as measured by value added by manufac- ture and by number of wage earners employed, and in value of products was a close second to the brass, bronze, and copper industry. In the foundry and machine-shop industry Connecticut ranked ninth among the states in 1914 and sixth in 1909. The hardware products made in Connecti- cut in 1914 were valued at $28,808,363, or 39.3 per cent of the total for the United States as a whole. Firearms and ammunition—Connec- ticut ranked first among the states in the manufacture of these products in both 1914 and 1909. The value of out- put of this industry in the state in- creased 28.6 per cent during the five- year period. Of ammunition _alone Connecticut reported a value of $21,- 716,557 for 1914, or 70.4 per cent of the total for the United States, which was $30,840,427, and of firearms alone the output of Connecticut in that year year was valued at $3,941,240, or 37.4 per cent of the total for the United States, which was $10,543,753.
