WESTURLY OFFICERS GET CENTRAL VILLAGE MAN (Special to The Bulletin) g Westerly, Dec. 9.—Upon a. warrant sworn ot by Constable Frank Tillinghast of Central Village, Police Chief ‘Fhomas E. Brown and Deputy Sheriff Frank T. Mitchell, went to Arcadia, Wednesday night and took into custody Elisha Briges. He was wanted in Central Village for dispesing of an automobile of which he WILL PROPOSE AMENDMENT TO COMPENSATION ACT Danlel F. Pickett of Waterbury, state senator-elect from the sixteenth district, writes The Bulletin regarding an amend- ment to the workmen's compensation act that he is to present. . Senator Pickett writes as follow: In the next session of the general as- sembly T intend to propose an amend- ment to the present compensation act providing for additional compensation for married persons with families. The pre- ent law makes ro discrimination’ be- tween single and married persons in this respect. From personal experience in my law practice I have found married men with large families forced to réturn to work sooner than advisable simply.be- cause they could not afford.to stay home. and accept the compensation awarded to them. The compensation*law' should ‘ fél- low the tendemcy generally observed everywhere to make such ra‘ discrimine ation. The government in the income tax and draft laws, the widows' pen- sion fund, societies, etc., favor- those: hav- Ing dependents. I will recommend ‘that the rate of compensation. shall be some- what more for a married pérson than for o single person similarly Injured, that a man with one child shali. reselve .a still greater allowance and that the al- lowance and that the -allowance_shall be increased ~according ' to- the sizé ~of {he family. As this Is a.non-partisan -meas-. ure it should find favor.with_the major: {1ty of the assembly. Any suggestions from your readers will be thankfully: recely- ed for my consideration. ™ County Game Warden. Robert B.
