Robert W Wagner, Dem ocratic leader of the state senate and chairman of the committee which has been Investigating factory and work clared, to-day, that his committee will have it's report ready soon after the legislature meets on Jan. I and that 1t will offer important remedial legis- lation.
 One of the laws will be along the line suggested by Miss Mary Cham ber- lain, the young high school graduate who investigated the canneries for the brought under the supervision of the state department of labor. If this Is done employees can only be worked 50

Do Not Believe Hickey Killed
 Phil Mastroianno

I've do not believe that we can con- meet J. Frank Hickey now under ar- rest for the killing of Joseph Josephs in Lackawanna, N. r., with the mys- tery of the Mastrianno boys murder here, ,'' said both Supt, Eugene Bir1n- ingham and Capt. George Arnold at police headquarters this morning It is admitted, however, that the cir cufnstances of the killing in many re- spects are similar.
 Nothing as yet has been learned from him of any connection with the Mastroianno murder here, which was done in the woods northeast of Lake view home on Oct. 6, 1907, when the strangled body of little Philip Mastro- ianno was found tightly bound with shoe strings after initiation had been effected. The Buffalo police will be asked to look into tile matter however.
 Supt Birmin gham, who with Capt Arnold and Detective Sergeant Crozran carefully investigated all the clues left by the criminal and apprehended two suspects, today was emphatic i'll stat ing he did not believe that Hickey was instrumental in the death of the local boy. There is nothing to show that Hickey was in or near Bridgeport at the time Of the crime
