M-nuhe:uriny Heads Fairly Paralyzed by Suddenness With Which Order Came. (Special to The Bulletin.) Danielson, Jan. 17.—The result of the order is that several thousands mill ‘operatives in Killingly and other :sur- ounding towns were thrown out of work at 6 o'clock tonight and will not return to their duties again for nearly a week. The money loss in wages will amount to many thousands of dollars, but this is a mere incident compared to other'bad features of the situation. Big plants here that are operating a® top speed in turning out war orders for the government are knocked as flat as though they were on the country’s blacklist.

Although the order to cease opela- tions is not welcomed by any manu- facturer, yet there is a general desire to co-operate with the government and the national fuel administration in {re | effort to clear up the coal situation. There are varied opinions among the manufacturers and others who are in- erested in the question as to the merits of the plan put into operation hy the government, but when asked by the press to comment on the order they are silent. Asked what action they had taken in regard to the order, the officials of In some quarters moderation of the terms of the order restricting manu- facturing is looked for, especially as it |appl£es to those milis that are engaged on government contracts, as are some of the concerns in Putnam.

It was thought best to write a letter to eaeh one of the clergymen in the town of Norwich and ask for the co-opera- tion of the clergymen in bringing be- fore their people the question of thrift. We must safeguard the America of tomorrow. We must teach our children and people the fundamental idea of thrift, that they may go forth into the world and practice it for themselves and the nation. Thrift is a good habit to acquire. At thi stime, it is a great patriotic duty. Thy door of opportunity is open wide for everyone to buy thrift stamps. Therefore, our duty is clear—to prac- tice thrift and be patriotic through the purchase of war savings stamps. Will you not urge your people to buy these thrift stamps. (Signed.) ERNEST O.

We are sending over there one million men, and these one mil- lion men need nineteen billion dollars’ worth of war materials to supply them during the next vear. We could have sent two million men almost as eas- ily- as one million, if it were not for the fact that we are only producing war supplies now at the rate of one- third of the quantity necessary in or- der to make the men effective fight- ers “We cannot make our soldiers con- querors unless we practically treble our support of them and that sup- port can come in increased measure in just the proportion that you and 1 forego our consumption of ° things which are not necessary, and make a loan to the government for the pro- duction of the absolutely necessary war supplies, “Does it not then come home to us rersonally and “individually that the government’s need of money, great as it is, is not.as great as its need of the labor and materials we are con-: Ernest E.
