He estimated that in the first year of the war the army would take only about three per cent. of the country’s workers, less than the number unemployed under normal con- ditions. The secretary will announce tomor- row, probably, an advisory committee to assist him in handling mobilization problems, including one representative of the general public, two of labor. two of commerce and industry -and one economist or sociologist. “Most of the anxiety in this coun- try, regarding the labor question, has been a reflex of Great Britain’s ex- periences in the war,” Mr. Wilson said. “Of 20,000,000 persons engaged in gain- ful occupations in England, 5,000 000 were taken for the army, leaving the labor supply 25 per cent. short. This necessitated withdrawal from the ar- my of skilled" workmen in’ order " to wmaintain the industNal life at home. “America’s situation is very differ- ent. Of course the draft will inter- fere with industry to some extent, but we have 35,000,000 workers, of whom approximately 1,500 000 will be taken in the first vear of war, les§ than the normal number of unemployed. Our problem, then, is one of readjustment to supply the demand for workers in those trades which are expanding rap- idly, such as shipbuilding and muni- tions factories.” Waterbury.~—Clagses in knitting, cro- chetirgr and embroidery have been reopened at the Webster school, being held in the evening.

Inquiries have been sent to every fire department in Conneeticut by the In- dustrial Survey Committee of the Con- necticut State Council of Defense for the purpose of gathering information in regard to their present. possibilit; of connecting their fire apparatus to the hydrants of neighboring towns, and nearly “all - departments have replied. The Defénse Council has taken. up this matter of the interchange of fire ap- paratus with which to protect import- ant property in case of emergency. The importance of hundreds of Connezticut establishments to the war programme’ of the nation has made this a vital work for the council to take up. Fire Chief John C. Moran of Hart- ford. who was appointed a committee of one Ly the State Fire Chiefs’ asso- cigtion for the purpose of co-operating with tnc council of defense in . this matter, and Horace B. Clark, president of the Hartford Fire Board, have met with the council’s committee. As a re- sult of this conference, the committes has decided to attempt to standardize the hose and hydrant couplings of ev- ery fire department in the state by means of Laving a natignal standard thread coupling which will make it . possible for any hoss in the state to ‘connect with every hydrant in the siate. The committes’s next step will be to ask loeal officials to confer upon the five" chicfs authority to act upon its recormmendations. together with the authority to spend not to exceed $200 for the purrose. The committee is taking up the work of finding a source of such couplings and will get quotations for a standard price for the fire departments of the state, Once the.fire departments are equip- ped with tliese couplings through the commiitee of the defemse council, it will be possible for fye- apparatus of any town te be.uscd in any other town in the state.
