At the time of ‘the Glen Woolen mills burg- lary she was living - in Groton, but she moved here about two months ago somewhere around. the time that Patsy Caboni of Groton was arrested on suspicion of being connected with the Glen Woolen mills burglary. According to what Mrs. Lumbrelia told the Norwich police after her ar- rest the cloth that she sold in Nor- wich, coming here from Groton for that purpose, was brought to her by two men who were boarders at her home in Groton. She says they told her they got it at a bankrupt sale and wanted her to dispose of it for them. She sold it all for $75, she says, and gave the men th; money. They gave her nothing and iuey have since gone away without paying their board in full. She cannot teil where they are and knows them only by the names of Mike and Patsy. She says her husband is in New York. Ever since the night in December when burglars got into the Glen Wool- en mill, but were scared away as they FACTORY WOMEN WAGES AVERAGE $1650 TO $22 The average wage 'of the women working in the factories of Connecti- cut varies from $16.50 to $22 a week, according to Charlotte M. Holloway, industrial investigator for the depart- ment of labor and factory inspection. The lowest pay for skilled and semi- skilled labor among the working wo- men of the Connecticut factories va- ries from $12,50 to $16.50 a week. In ope or two scattered cases wo- men working in textile factorieg re- ceive as low as $9 a week, but even this is not much lower than the ave- rage wage of the women workers in New York state, where it has been founq after careful investigation that the average wage of the working wo- men of the state is about §10 a week. In no individual case in ‘Connecticut has it been found that a woman is receiving as low as $7 a week, al- though there were a number of such cases in New York state. The above fafts were obtained at the office of the commissioner of la- bor and factory inspection in Hart- ford where statistics are: being com- piled for a. report to be présented to the governor angd the legislature 'in 1921, The manufacturets arid the em- ployes displayed a willingness to aid the investigators thig year that has never been shown before. Owing to this, a number of interesting facts have been gleaned, and it was said at the offices of the department that the report would be much more interest- ing to the public than any previous one. Taking the condition of the women employed in Connecticut factories as a whole, the conditions are much bet- ter than they are in any ether state. Every person who has any desire for employment can find it, and the de- mang for labor of all kinds is rapidly | increasing. Manufacturers are - so pressed for help that even young mothers are being employed much against the will of the majority of the factory owners. Consequently this increased demand for help is raising the wages proportionately, and at. present the wages paid in the factor- ies are from 10 per cent., to 40 per cent. higher than they were, even during the war days. ' The statistics were gathered from' the larger manufacturers of the state, the smaller employers being exempted as the questions were applicable only to the larger factories. Wages are from 60 per cent, to 70 per cent. high- i;lt,han was indicated in the report of In the report that is being compiled at present, a new. section will be in- cluded, telling of tonversations inves- tigators have hag on the high cost of living with people who are employed in state factories. From investigations made so far it has been found that even with the wages rising as they are they do not keep up with the ris- ing cost of living: A number ° of families ameng the foreign classes were found to'be undernourished, not always because of lack of money, but due to the fact that they would not pay the higher prices that are asked for produce and ‘are trying .to put money away. The installment plan of buying clothes is popular among the girls werking in factories, although it has been found to be unsatisfactory :rom many standpoints by investiga- ors. Figures from the present census of factory workers show that the num- ber of girls under 16 who are work- ing in factories is on the decrease ‘when compareq with former reports, while the number between the ages of 16 and 20 who are earning their own STOLEN FROM GLEN - SOLD CLOTH Will Save | were ‘loading -up an automobi cloth stolen ‘from the mill, wigh police have kept persistently at work_on the case with the feeling that they would run across the trail of ‘the thieves and the cloth that the men got away with. About a week ago they got knowledge of a family. that "had ‘bought some woolen cloth and this line of"search unearthed yet other ‘fandilfes in the city ‘where cloth || had been sold until ‘eight pieces in all were - discovered ‘and it was learnéd Says Quick Action is Needed—But it Can Be D one with Simpk: Home Treatment. who had made thé sales. | Thursday afternoon the net was closed with_the arrest of Mrs. Lum- brella and the various lots' of woolen cloth were’ recovered from the fam- iliés who were ‘holding them.. In one case a pair of trouseérs had been made from the cloth, but in the “others it was still in’ the original pieces. i Officer Ralph Diveto arrested Mrs. Lumbrelia’at a’Greeneville mill where she was at work, and she, was.brought to police headquarters and . questioned by Chief George -Linton. After the questioning she was locked up in the woman’s room at police headquarters. The location .of the stolen ¢ stands to the credit of the Norwich police as a reward for their persistent work in following up the woolen mill burglary as the men who robbed the mill got away without leaving any trace of who they might be and it is by keeping everlastingly at it that the local officers have been able to pick up the trail that seems likely to solve the mystery about the thieves and possibly bring them before the court for prosecution. The case against Patsy Caboni is still on the book at police headquart- ers, havigg been continued from time to time. Thin Haired Readers Urged Not to De- " lay—Parisian Sage is Just What is Needed.
