COMPENSATION LAW IS DISCUSSED BY LABOR (Continued from First Page) “This would, in effect, throw all supreme court decisions on the act in the past 12 years, into the junk heap.” 5 ! Mr. Egan said tat the supreme | court had given what is generally considered liberal interpretation on cases coming before it as the law is written. The act has been in op- cration 13 years and was generally accepted by employers “as a great viece of work.” Mr., Egan also said that as years went by the act was improved upon and in 1919 the section now objected to was amended so as to Include compensation for any disease aris- ing out of industry. “Prior to 1919, said Mr. Egan, “hat manufacturers had few com- pensation cases due to the small amount of machinery they used. | ‘“After the war a cheap grade of carrot was used for coloring, and in the past three years a number of cases of carrot poisoning were re- ported, and we discovered that it| was a hazard rising out of the hat- ting Industry. Claims were presented to the compensation commissioner and no commisser has denied com- pensation. C. J. Danaher was retained by us in each fnstance and able attorneys| and medical men were retained by | the employers.” | Mr. Egan Bald that the hat manu- | facturers did what other manufac- | turers did in 1914, improved sani- tary condlitions, and there was a re- duction in the number of compen- sation cases of this kind.

New Britain, and this was found to be the only record the state motor vehicle de- partment had of Fransen's where- abouts. Subsequently, information was received that Fransen \lved at 460 Allen street, this city, but on in- vestigation it was learned that this was incorrect, Mr. Bannan said. Sergeant Ellinger, however, per- sisted and located Fransen. Justice Roche told Fransen his conduct in the matter indicated thav | he did not intend to return the bat- tery. In view of the provisions of the state law bearing on the offense, the justice said he would make a finding “of guilty. Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney W. M. Greenstein presented the case.

Bankers, brokers and employes in adjacent skyscraping office buildings rushed to the streets in alarm and soon the district was thronged. The stock exchange, just across Broad street from the scene of the accident, virtually suspended busi- ness for the remainder of the day. Police reserves were called, safety zone lines were drawn and am- bulances with doctors and nurses clanged their way through the crowds. i The injured were given first aid | treatment and rushed to various nearby hospitals, The dead were Tre- moved to the morgue. The derrick which was being shift- ed for use in the construction of the new 26 story Equitable Trust Com- pany fell carrying down with it 11 men. The bomb explosion which threw the district into a turmoil in 1920 occurred in the same neighborhood. At that time more than two score persons were killed, many othérs injured and considerable material | damage was done. 21 New Cruisers to Make « U. S. on Par With England Washington, Jan. 8 (ZP—To attain a parity with the British, the United | States must build 21 cruisers ag- gregating 207,290 tons, said a state- ment issued today by the navy league of the United States. It added that | Japan also was ahead of this coun- try in cruiser strength. The league claimed that unless the United States replaces in the next fo r years its “obsolescing” destroy- er flotilla and builds up its cruisers to an equal strength with England, it will enter the 1931 arms confer- | ence stipulated under the 1921 co! | ference treaty with a fleet inferior to | both the British and Japanese. | ——) Funerals J sent today to State Semator M. H. Kenealy and the two represent- atives, said that from past observa- tion of offenders in the local courts, he believed that at pres cases of this kind. Local court cases have included those where men had beaten their wives, parents had abused their children and & son had ‘beaten his mother. In many instances when the of- fender was sentenced to jail or fined, it work his family, as those dependent upon him were deprived of means of Sup: port, he said. A whipping post would, in the mayor’s opinion, not only cause these cruel and inhuman acts” to cease, but also leave the family | concerned its support. { con Red Men Will Install | Officers Monday Night | Installation of officers will be held by Mattabesett Tribe, No. 14 . 0.

The belief prevails in financial cireles, however, that Mr. Norman will con- fer with Benjamin Strong, governor of the federal reserve bank, and other financiers on the closing out of the $300,000,000 credits extended to the Bank of England in 1925, Three credits—$300,000,000 from the federal reserve bank and $100,~ 000,000 from J. P. Morgan and com- pany—were obtained by Great Brit« ain as a precaution, and it is under- stood here no part of the loans has been used. The supposition is that they are no longer considered neces- sary ! It was said at the federal reserve bank that Mr. Norman's visit need not be considered of special signi- ficance, since the heads of the world's central banks often meet to discuss international finance.
