Speaking of occupational com- pensation for occupational disease is amendment for which the state federation will work at the coming session. Mr. Stremlau said compen- sation for lead poisoning had been allowed a workingman named Miller by the compensation commissioner ir New Haven. This was upheld in an appeal to superior court but the { manufacturer carried the case to the supreme court of errors which filed an adverse decision, blasting the hopes of the state federation. Jus- tice Wheeler dissented and filed a minority opinion, which stated that occupational diseases should be com- pensated for under the law. The ac- tion of the majority members of tho court was a great surprise to law makers and lawye he said, as it was generally believed that the word infury included diseases incurred through occupation In conclusion the speaker urged the voters to welgh all matters carefully between now and November 7 and if possible have committees appointed in each ward to Interview the candidates on both tickets and ascertain just where they stand on important meas- ures to be presented next January.

The speak- er also scored the present method choosing judges who remain on the bench until they are 70 years old, and who In many Instances have shown | themselves to he antagonistic to labor unions and its followers. He urged that a bil] should be presented callinz the direct election of judges y the people, thus affording the labor- ing man a bhetter opportunity of se- curing some right Statute 1296 which pertains anti-picket law was literally tornm 10 pleces by speaker who called it the written on the statute hooks.

This | body, the speaker said, never lets a | session of the legislature go by unless | representatives of their bidding are | chosen to look out for their interests. | He stated that anything desired in | regard to favorable decisions by this association is readily handed down by | the judges in the supreme court. In speaking on Statute 1296 Ornburn has said that some of brightest members of the Connecticut | bar have told him that it is an impos- | sibility to interpret it. He cited the | case of Organizer Magee in New Ha- | ven, during the molders’ strike, when the agent approached a strikebreaker and asked him to join the union, and was immediately hailed into court. | After the witness had stated “that the | accused was not smart or big enough | to intimidate him” and the prosecutor heard him make the same declaration three times, the judse ordered the jury to bring in a verdict and Magee was forceq to spend a year in jail and pay a fine of $500. “They say that Russia is bad, but Connecticut is fast nearing conditions that will be worse than that of any other country,” the speaker imparted to the audience.
