State's Millions
In Manufactures
Figures For the Whole of Con
necticut Given Out by the
Federal Census Authorities
INCREASES GREAT .. .
ALL ALONG THE LINE
Over 4,000 Establishments Turn
ing Out Product Worth Half
a Billion Dollars Yearly
Washington. D. C, June 2. A pre
liminary official statement of the gen
eral results of the thirteenth United
States census of manufactures of the
state of Connecticut was issued to
day. Including a summary comparing
the figures for 1904 and 1909, by state
totals. As in previous ' statements
for cities, the figures are subject to
such revision as may be necessary af
ter a further examination of the orig.
inal reports.
The thirteenth census differs from
the twelfth census in 1900. with refer
ence to manufactures, in that the lat
er excluded the hand and the build
ing trades and the neighborhood in
dustries, and took account only of
establishments conducted under the
factory, system. In the last census,
also, statistics were not collected for
factories having products for the cen
sus year of a- value less than $500, ex
cept that reports were taken for es
tablishments idle during a portion of
the year 1909. or which began opera
tions in that year, and whose products
therefore, were less than $500.
The word ''establishment," as used
in the thirteenth census, is defined as
meaning one or more factories, mills
or' plants, owned, controlled or oper
ated by a person, partnership, corpo
ration or other owner, located in the
same town or city, and for which one
set of books of account is kept.
The reports were taken for the cal
endar year ending December 31. 1909,
wherever the system of bookkeeping
permitted figures for Hhat period to
be secured, but in case the fiscal year
of an establishment differed from the
calendar . year a report of its opera
tions was obtained for the fiscal per
iod falling most largely within 1909.
'-THB RATES OF INCREASE, v
The summary for the State shows
increases in all the items of the cen
sus of 1909, as compared with that
for 1904. These are exhibited in per
centage order as follows:
Number ' of salaried officals and
clerks, 45 per cent; capital, 39 per
cent.; primary horsepower 85 per cent.;
cost . of materials used, , 34 per cent. ;
value of products S3 per cent.;' value
added by manufacturer, 31 per cent.;
salaries and wages, 19 per cent.; num
ber of establishments 22 per cent. ; . av
erage number of wage-earners em
ployed during the year 16 per cent and
miscellaneous expenses 14 per cent.
There were 4,251 manufacturing es
tablishments in 1909 and 3,477 in 1904;
an increase of 774 or 22 per cent.
The capital Invested as reported in
1909, was $517,547,000 a gain of $144.
263,00 or 39 per oent over $373,284,000
in 1904. The average capital per estab
lishment was approximately $122,000 in
1909.. and $107,000 in 1904. In this con
nection it should be stated that in the
census schedule the inquiry concern
ing capital invested calls for the to
tal amount both owned and borrowed
and invested in the business, but does
notj include the value of rented prop
erty, plant, or equipment which was
employed in the conduct of manufac
turing enterprises. In, the final bul
letins and to reports there will be a
separate statement of the rental paid
for such property.
.The cost of materials used was $257,
259,000" in 1909, as against $191,302,000
in 1904; an increase of $65.9o7,000 or 34
per cent. The average cost of ma
terials per establishment was approx
imately $61,000 in 1909 and $55,000 in
1804. In addition to the component
materials which enter into the pro
ducts of the establishment for the
census year there are included fuel,
rent of power and heat, and mill sup
plies. The cost of materials, however,
does not Include unusued materials
and supplies bought either for specula
tion or for use during a subsequent
period. ;
VALUE OF PRODUCTS
The value of products was $490,272,
000 in 1909 and $369,082,000 in 1904; an
increase of $121,190,000 or 33 per cent.
The average per establishment was
approximately $115,000 in 1909 and $106,
000 in 1904. '
The value of products represents the
product as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year and
does not necessarily have any rela
tion to the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by oth
ers. - :
VALUE ADDED BY .
' - MANUFACTURE
The value added by manufacture
was $233,013,000 in 1909 and $177,780,000
in 1904; an' Increase of $55,233,000 or
31 per cent. The value added by man
ufacture formed 48 per cent of the
total value of products in 1909 and in
1904. It represents the difference be
tween the cost of materials used and
the value of products after the man
ufacturing processes have been ex
pended upon them.
The miscellaneous expenses amount
ed to $35,889,000 in 1909 and $32,325,000
in .1904; an increase of $4,564,000 or 14
per cent. The average miscellaneous
expense per establishment was approx
imately $0,000 in 1909 and in 1904. It
includes rent of factory or works,
taxes and amount paid for contract
work and these items, as well as such
office and other expenses as can not
be elsewhere classified, will appear
separately in the final reports.
The salaries and . wages amounted to
$135,756,000 in 1909 and $104,983,000 in
1904; an increase of $30,773,000 or 29
per cent.
The number of salaried officials and
clerks was 19,611 in 1909 and 13,523 in
1904; an increase of $6,0S8 Or. 45 per
cent.
The average number of wage earn
ers employed during the year was' 210,
792 in 1909 and 181,605 in 1904; an in
crease of 29,187 or 16 per cent.
The primary horsepower was 410,
275 in 1909 and 304,204 in 1904; an in
crease of 106.071 or 35 per cent. The
average horsepower per establishment,
considering all establishments, was
approximately 97 in 1909 and 87 in
1904.

Few cities have dealt effectively
with this situation Put we are passing
bevond the stage where the represen

of these conditions on the ground that
lit is "bad for business." For seeing

a earned reputation as a "city

Democracy itself seems to be an
ohstacla to sanitary progress. It is
in those cities where there are mues
nnd miles of small houses owned by
wnrVlnsrmen in which there is the
greatest difficulty in meeting health
needs. A low tax rate becomes in
them a fetich, and every public expen-
diture is scrutinized most closely so

a cry for false economy, threatens to

these conditions that we have in no

and a curse, as a means or letting

sanitation and community living. It
is as if the. doctor attending a pa -
tlent desperately ill with typhoid were;
to concern himself before the crisis
had passed with the patient's diet dur-
Ins: the convalescent stage.
Underlying all of these evils is our
failure to develop sanitary inspection
as a vital- adjunct of municipal ad-
ministration. In most cities it is still'
unexplored territory. With two ex
ceptions, New York and Chicago, no
city in America has as yet evolved ai
system of inspection worthy of the j
name, in practically an our . neuuii
departments we placidly await as we
did years ago, citizens complaints, as
suming that by attending to these we
shall 'have done all that is needed.
With the mass of our working popula
tion made up, more and more of the
peasantry of Europe, ignorant of our
language and customs and living in
foreign "colonies" we can no longer
look to any such methods for discov
ering and remedying sanitary evils
whatever may have been the case
when the case when we were a homo
geneous, nation of American citizens.
Many of the poor in our large cities
do not know that there is a board
of health. ' Even if they know where
to find its offices and can afford the
time to travel to them to complain,
for the great mass are too illiterate
to send written complaints, they know
from bitter experience that if the
source of the complaint is discovered
eviction by the landlord is sure to
follow. So the worst conditions re
main undisclosed. Coupled with in
.. - . . 1 l.l,
spection to discover sanitary evils there
should go a system of "instructive
sanitary inspection" by trained wom
en. Though it sounds . paternalistic.
the inhabitants of our large foreign
"colonies" must be taught how to live.
They often fail to realize that the
methods of waste disposal which were
satisfactory to them in sparsely settled
country districts of rural Europe may
not be safely followed in our urban
communities.
Why should American cities be so
far behind the enlightened . standards
of sanitary science? Partly because we
have drifted along choosing the line
of least resistance. The more funda
mental cause, however, is that we have
hitherto not been civilized enough or
intelligent enough to be willing to
spend money for the preservation of
health. In hundreds of cities, still, the
health commisioner receives no com
pensation. In every city the health
department is terribly undermanned.
The health officials - have done theiT
part as best they could but we have
been so stupid and careless that al
though we grant annually large sums
for the, support of police and fire de
partments to protect property, we have
grudged mere pittances to our health
officers for the protection of human
life.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Brave Stiles Judson.
To the Editor of the Hartford Times:
"So, they took the money and did
as they were taught." Matthew xxviii
15.
Two years ago the closing hours of
the general assembly witnessed a scene
the above Scripture quotation fitly de
scribes. When the "public utilities"
bill was up for its final passing at that
time the paid hirelings of the mono
polistic corporations walked on the
floor of the house, went straight to
the traitors who were willing to betray
the trust of the people, and they vot
ed "as they were taught." to the ever
lasting shame and disgrace of Connec
ticut.
After reading the subtle majority re
port of the committee on the utilities
bill, as published in The Times. I hold
my breath and wonder if that scene
is to be repeated this year. Did any
one ever read a more crafty and spe
ciously 'worded report than the mu
jority have made? Of course the rail
road and the Adams Express company
want two commissions. It is easier
to influence three men than it would
be five or six. Can any one point
to anything the railroad commission
has ever done for the benefit of the
people of this state? Has the commis
sion ever attempted to stop overvalua
tion or watered stock or overcharge
for fares or freight? Look at the
many petitions sent to the legislature
every session from the people for re
ner irom exorDitant iares. it is a
wonder that the majority report did
not recommend a separate commission
for telegraphs, telephones, gas, elec
tricity, waterworks, express, etc.
Let the people of this state mark
the men who Vote for the majority
report and see that they are releeat
ed to private life, and let us hold up
the hands of Stiles Judson in his brave
fight for honesty, for the people's rights
and JUSTICE

WHAT IS CHAMPAGNE?
The champagne riots in France, in
which thousands of gallons of excel
lent wine have been destroyed have
their origin in the question. What Is
champagne? Back of that question lies
a much greater one, involving the live
lihood of the vine-growers of the an
cient -champagne district, all of
whom are intensely excited about the
proposition to restrict by law the use
of the title "Champagne" to the pro
duct of the Department of Marne.
What is champagne? Originally the
title was applied to the effervescent
white wine made of the grapes grown
in the ancient County of Campagne.
This province. ISO miles long by 150
miles broad, had its capital at Tra
yea and was governed by its own
Counts until 1261, when it was incor
porated in, the Jdngdom.of FraJice.-The

The old timer brushed up hit old
silk hat of the days when he was a

yesterday afternoon, to see a seal n the
favorites of the '80s and of the Tony
Pastor time when they called vau
deville "variety." The programme

Straw" and others. The old timer

she is singing it now. and "Paradl.)
Alley" and "Elsie From Chelny'
And there's Fox and Ward, who have '
been in the minstrel business good
ness knows how long 4 2 years the
program says. And that old Dnti b
man is Gus Williams, originator t
one of the finest songs ever sung. sir.
It was called "One of the Fin"." "
and they named a play after it whi h.
Williams used to star in.
What's this act. Pat Rooney?
Why he's been dead these 20 y-;tr3
