Arms Company and the general failure of this plant to meet its obligations some two thousands hands were forced out of employment, causing a great industrial depression in our city, which of ne- cessity affected the merchants by the falling oft of trade, many families be- ing forced to leave town to seek em- ployment. This condition has existed during the three months ofg the pres- ent quarter treated by this report. Ow- a larger scale than the past under ter was-1ald before the Federal Trade Commission and again on Sept. 4ta similar action was taken with the Connecticut State Council of Defense.
